Lat Pulldown

The perfect line of pull for the lats, with an adjustable resistance-profile arm and three weight pegs to shift load through the movement.

Made to order

Your colour, your upholstery.

Citadel Lat Pulldown, shown in a made-to-order powder-coat colour

Every frame is powder coated to order, so the colour is genuinely yours. Match your fit-out, your branding, or a code you send us.

Coated to any RAL code by Interpon, Dulux and Oxytech, with translucent finishes by Eastwood. Tell us the code and we will match it.

Colour previews are AI-generated renders shown on one photograph, and are a guide only, and the finish on a built machine can differ. Ask us for a physical sample before you commit a floor to a colour.

Selected: Citadel Orange
And the pads

Marine vinyl. Sailmaker's thread.

The upholstery is cut and covered by a trimmer minutes from the workshop, so the vinyl, the thread and the stitch are specified per machine the same way the frame colour is. We use Novatex Aspen, a marine-grade vinyl built for boat decks and commercial floors, stitched with Coats Dabond v138, the UV-treated bonded polyester that holds sails together. Sweat, sunlight and a chlorine wipe-down are the easy part of its working life.

Seven of the Aspen colours also come in a coarser pebble grain, and the thread can be tonal or contrast in any of the three stitch finishes. Screen colour is a guide only, so ask us for a physical swatch before you commit a whole floor to one.

With the design of our pulldown we engineered the arm to have the perfect line of pull for the lats with an adjustable resistance profile to change which part of the movement is heaviest. The Citadel Strength lat pulldown has 3 weight pegs and depending on which one you put the weights on it will change where the weight is heaviest during the execution of each rep.

If you put the weights on the bottom peg the exercise becomes light at the start and heavier at the contracted position.

If you load the top peg the reverse is true and the exercise is heaviest at the start and lightest at the contracted position.

Loading the middle peg results in the weight being very even throughout the entire movement.

We did multiple prototypes of the seat and chest pad to ensure all users can comfortably stabilise every rep to get the most out of their workout. The by-product of having a rotating chest pad is the user can either do the most lat dominant pulldown on the market or rotate the chest pad to allow them to do upper back high rows

We designed the handle to rotate in both planes so the user's height, width and preferred hand position can be accommodated for.

The construction of the pulldown includes 4mm steel, bearings rated to over 1.2 tons and indexing pins rated to over 2 tons, to deliver a pulldown that can handle any weight your members can use. People from 142cm to 203cm (4 foot 8 to 6 foot 8) can comfortably use our pulldown due to the adjustability.

01

Adducting path of motion

The arms converge slightly through the pull, following the shoulder's natural arc instead of fighting it.

02

Adjustable resistance profile arm that is weight loadable

Change where in the range the load peaks: stretch, mid, or contraction.

03

Three weight pegs

Redistribute load through the movement rather than simply adding more.

04

Converts to a high row

Adjust the chest pad and the same frame becomes an upper-back dominant row.
