Looking for lower body plate loaded machines? This collection covers leg press, hack squat, and related plate-loaded lower-body stations for home gyms and commercial floors. Mix new BUILT Strength with reman commercial platforms.
Plate-loaded lower body gear lets you load heavy without a stack and pairs well with free-weight squat work.
Leg press or hack squat: which builds more leg mass?
Leg press emphasizes controlled pressing with back support. Hack squat loads a more upright squat pattern. See our guide on hack squat vs leg press and browse hack squat.
How do you choose lower-body plate-loaded stations?
Confirm starting resistance, footprint, and safety stops. Compare plate-loaded machines and pendulum squat.

What is the best plate loaded leg press?
Look for a stable frame, a joint-friendly press angle, and enough plate capacity. The BUILT Strength OG Series 35 Degree Linear Leg Press uses 7-gauge steel rails rated for over 2,300 lb of total load, starts at 110 lb, and adds a calf block on the sled.
Frequently asked questions
What lower body plate loaded machines should I buy first?
Start with one squat pattern (hack squat, pendulum, or V squat) and one press pattern (leg press), then add glute and hamstring work. See hack squat machines and pendulum squat.
Is there a plate loaded multi hip or glute machine?
For glutes, this collection includes the BUILT Strength OG Series Glute Bridge and Infinite Series 3D Glute. For stack-loaded hip work, see the Fractal Series Hip Abduction and Adduction in lower body selectorized machines.
Belt squat or hack squat?
A belt squat loads the hips through a belt, so it trains legs without spinal loading from a bar. A hack squat loads the shoulders on a back-supported sled. Both reduce the balance demand of a free squat.
Do lower body machines come with a warranty?
New equipment is covered by 1-year parts and labor plus lifetime frame coverage, and remanufactured equipment by 1-year parts and labor, starting on the delivery date. Each product page lists its exact warranty; see our product guarantees.
