NO PINS.
NO LIMITS.
ALMETECK is a lever machine built around one sealed pivot bearing and a horn for external plates. No cable to fray, no weight stack to cap your members' strength, no pins to lose on the floor. Just the mechanism gravity already trusts.

- 01 Sealed pivot bearing — the only wear part
- 02 Loading horn — plates sold separately
- 03 Independent lever arm — moves on its own
Six Things We
Engineered Out
Every part we removed from a standard selectorized machine is a part that can't fail on your gym floor.
Machine Only. You Bring the Plates.
ALMETECK ships as a frame: precision-cut steel, a sealed pivot bearing, and a loading horn. No plates in the box, no fixed stack — just whatever's already racked in your gym, at any spec you run.
Fewer Parts, Faster Repairs
One pivot bearing replaces a cable, two pulleys, a guide rod, and a rack of selector pins. When there's less to fail, there's less to schedule a technician for.
Ships Lighter, Costs Less to Land
No internal weight stack means less dead freight in every crate. Shipping, customs, and floor installs get cheaper — from the first unit to the tenth location.
A Ceiling Your Members Set
Outgrow a pin stack and the gym buys a new machine. Outgrow ALMETECK and you buy another plate. The lever arm doesn't cap progression — your plate rack does.
Independent Arms, Zero Compensation
Each side loads and moves on its own bearing. A dominant limb can't quietly take over for a weaker one — and members training around an injury can load a single side without the frame binding.
Resistance You Can Trust
No 3:1 pulley ratio turning a "200 lb" stack into 65 lbs of real work. What's on the horn is what's moving — members feel the honesty in the first rep.
A Pivot Point,
Not a Straight Line
Most cable machines force a fixed, linear path. ALMETECK's arm rotates on a single bearing, so it naturally converges or diverges — tracing the same arc your shoulder, hip, or elbow already moves through.
The result is the joint-friendly control of a machine, with the natural strength arc of a free-weight lift. No cable friction to dull the negative half of the rep — just the arm, the horn, and whatever you load onto it.
ALMETECK vs.
The Pin-Loaded Stack
Same job — move resistance through a range of motion. Very different amount of machinery required to do it.
| Spec | ALMETECK | Pin-Loaded Stack |
|---|---|---|
| Moving parts | 1 sealed pivot bearing | Cable, 2+ pulleys, guide rod, selector pins |
| Resistance path | Direct — what's on the horn is what moves | Often reduced by 2:1 or 4:1 pulley ratios |
| Max load | Set by your plate inventory, not the frame | Capped at the top of the stack |
| Unilateral training | Independent arms, standard | Shared stack — one side can compensate |
| Typical failure point | None under normal use — wipe & oil the bearing | Frayed cable, seized rod, cracked pulley |
| Freight weight | Frame only — plates sourced locally | Full stack shipped assembled, every unit |
| Resale value | Holds value — no hidden wear parts | Depreciates faster as wear stays invisible |

What a Whole Stack Can't
From an empty frame to a loaded first rep — the pivot, the horn, and the independent arms working together in real time.

Operators, One Machine
Lower Freight, Fewer Warranty Calls
A machine your members won't outgrow before their membership renews. Fewer moving parts means fewer stations closed for repair.
Program True Isolateral Work
Load exactly what a client's weaker side can handle, without fighting a linked stack. Progress them plate by plate, not by guessing at pin holes.
A Home Setup That Grows With You
Add one plate at a time instead of trading in for a bigger stack the day you finally hit your old max.
