Rank #2 in Best Cable Machine 2026: 10 Ranked by Stack, Price and Evidence
GYM MASTER Cable Crossover Machine, 180kg Dual Stack
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The GYM MASTER Cable Crossover Machine is the number two pick in this guide at £379.99. It is a freestanding dual-tower cable station with an overhead pull-up bar, five handle attachments and two independent weight stacks of 90 kg each — 180 kg in total — running on a 2:1 pulley ratio. High and low pulley positions on both towers are quoted as covering over 30 exercises, and the listing puts the frame at 251 cm wide, 61 cm deep and 212 cm high in black powder-coated steel.
The interesting part of this fiche is where its own numbers sit next to each other. A machine built from two 90 kg stacks and a frame of that size is listed at 96.65 kg in the product dimensions field, while a rival crossover at the identical £379.99 price and the identical 251 x 61 x 212 cm footprint is listed at 43 kg. The 120 kg figure in the same bullet is the maximum user weight, not the stack, which is easy to misread on a page where 180 kg is the headline. Everything on this page is taken from the Amazon listing for this machine; none of it comes from testing we have carried out.
How those 130 ratings break down

Questions people ask
Does 180 kg mean I can load 180 kg on one side?
No. The GYM MASTER Cable Crossover Machine has two independent 90 kg stacks, one on each tower, giving 180 kg in total. Each side loads separately for balanced or unilateral work.
How much does the GYM MASTER cable crossover weigh?
The product dimensions field on the listing gives 96.65 kg for a 61 x 251 x 212 cm frame. That figure sits next to a 120 kg maximum user weight and a 180 kg stack total on the same page, and the listing does not reconcile them for you.
What ceiling height does it need?
The listing asks for a minimum 240 cm ceiling height for safe pull-up use. The frame itself is 212 cm high.
How long does assembly take?
GYM MASTER recommends two people and quotes 2-3 hours with the illustrated instructions.
What comes in the box?
Two straight bar handles, two chrome stirrup handles, a tricep rope and two steel chains, plus an integrated heavy-duty pull-up bar overhead.
How much body weight does it support?
The listing states the 50 x 50 mm 16-gauge steel uprights stay rigid under load up to 120 kg user weight. That is the person using it, not the 180 kg of weight stack.
