Linear Hack Squat

A dedicated 35-degree linear hack, built because customers asked for one alongside the 3n1. Wheel-based, with four loading pegs.

Made to order

Your colour, your upholstery.

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.

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.

The Citadel Linear hack squat was designed to be the most natural feeling hack squat on the market and was requested by our customers who wanted a standalone Linear Hack to go next to the 3n1 Hack in their facilities. By using a 35 degree angle like the original Nebula hack you get a super smooth feeling without the knee shearing that can happen on a 45 degree angle. We run all our hacks on wheels to improve the smoothness of the machine over linear bearings.

The construction of the linear hack squat includes 4mm steel, bearings rated to over 2 tons and indexing pins rated to over 2 tons, to deliver a hack 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 hack due to the adjustability.
