Primal Performance Series Dumbbell Utility Bench

The Primal Performance Series Dumbbell Utility Bench is a compact commercial bench for seated dumbbell work, rated to a 300 kg weight capacity. Its footprint is just 840 × 670 mm and it stands 1060 mm at its tallest point, which makes it one of the easiest Primal benches to fit beside a dumbbell rack.

Its short footprint means a row of these can sit in front of a dumbbell rack without blocking walkways, giving members a stable seat for pressing, curling and raising.

Who it is for

• Commercial gyms lining up seats along the dumbbell rack
• PT studios that need a stable seat that takes little floor space
• Strength and conditioning rooms running seated upper body accessory work
• Small facilities where a full length bench will not fit

Key features

• 840 × 670 mm footprint, much shorter than a full length flat or adjustable bench
• 300 kg weight capacity for heavy dumbbell work
• 3 mm thick steel frame with a double layer paint coating that resists wear
• Urethane injection moulded pads that give firm, responsive support
• Anti sweat, antibacterial upholstery that stays hygienic in busy sessions
• Anti slip rubber floor protectors to hold the bench steady and protect flooring

Muscles worked and exercise ideas

Sitting supported takes the legs and lower back out of the lift, so the target muscle does more of the work on seated dumbbell exercises.

• Primary: shoulders and arms (deltoids, biceps and triceps)
• Secondary: upper back and trunk stabilisers
• Seated dumbbell shoulder press and Arnold press
• Seated curls, hammer curls and overhead triceps extensions
• Seated lateral and front raises for shoulder accessory work

Specifications

Frequently asked questions

How much space does the Dumbbell Utility Bench need?

It measures 840 mm long, 670 mm wide and 1060 mm high. With about 600 mm of clear space around it for dumbbells and arm movement, plan a zone of around 2.0 × 1.9 m.

What loads can it handle?

There is no weight stack. Users train with dumbbells or bodyweight, and Primal rates the bench to a 300 kg weight capacity.

What ceiling height suits seated overhead pressing?

The bench is 1060 mm tall. Seated overhead presses add the lifter's arm reach and the dumbbells, so a standard 2.4 m ceiling suits most people, while very tall members may want a little more clearance.

What warranty is included?

Primal Strength's full commercial use warranty covers the frame for 5 years, parts for 3 years (parts only) and pads and upholstery for 1 year.

Do you deliver Australia-wide?

Yes. We ship Australia-wide from our Melbourne warehouse, and most metro orders arrive 1 to 7 business days after dispatch. Its packed weight is 24 kg, so freight is simple, though some regional addresses still need a freight quote. Use the Ask about this machine form on this page for a delivery and installation quote.

Should I choose a utility bench or an adjustable bench?

Choose the utility bench when floor space is tight and most of the work is seated pressing and arm training. Choose an adjustable bench when members also need flat and incline pressing on the same unit.

Pair the Dumbbell Utility Bench with Primal adjustable benches and a dumbbell rack for a complete dumbbell zone.
