Domande frequenti - 9089 cable station

• What is the difference between the Smart and Crossover versions in the 9089 range?
  The Smart version (9089K1) is a single-column station with upper and lower pulleys on one side only: it allows for vertical, horizontal and diagonal pulling exercises for a single user. The Crossover (9089K5) has two facing columns, each with a high and low pulley, and allows for bilateral fly, press and pull exercises with resistance from opposite angles. It requires more space but offers a significantly wider range of exercises.
• Is it possible to connect two Smart units to create a crossover configuration?
  Yes. The Link Kit (9089/4) and the 1100 Link Kit (9089/3) are designed precisely for this purpose. They mechanically connect two Smart stations that are some distance apart, creating a functional crossover configuration. The choice between the two kits depends on the distance between the columns: the 1100 model handles centre-to-centre distances of up to 1100 mm, whilst the standard Link Kit covers shorter distances.
• What exercises can be performed on a cable machine compared to a fixed-guide machine?
  The main difference lies in the freedom of the force vector. With a cable station, the cable can be gripped from any angle — low, high, lateral, diagonal — generating continuous resistance along free trajectories. This enables functional strengthening exercises, work on oblique planes, unilateral exercises and stabilisation protocols that selectorised machines with fixed guides do not allow.
• Is the Multi Position Pad (9089/1) compatible with all models in the 9089 range?
  The Multi Position Pad is designed to integrate with the All-In-One Rack Premium Sidea range and with the 9089 series rack configurations (Rack Light Pack and Rack Full Optional). It adds extra attachment points to the vertical upright, increasing the options for securing elastic straps, rings or suspended accessories. Compatibility must be checked on a case-by-case basis with the specific rack model.
• What is the maximum load (in kg) that the stations on line 9089 can support?
  The maximum load varies by version. The Basic and Smart configurations come with a standard weight stack; the Add-On Load Kit (9089/2) allows you to increase this on versions that support it. For the technical specifications of each model — weight of the weight stack, number of selectors, maximum tensile load — please refer to the technical data sheet for the individual product or contact Sidea technical support.
• Is the 9089 Cable Station Premium range also suitable for a domestic setting, or does it require a commercial installation?
  The Smart (9089K1) and Single Station Foot (9089B) versions are also designed for home gyms or garage gyms with standard ceiling heights (at least 220–230 cm of headroom). The structure is freestanding and does not require wall mounting. The Rack and Crossover versions, on the other hand, are designed for spaces larger than 10–12 m², typical of personal training studios and professional gyms.
