Primal Performance Series V2.0 Commercial Leverage Squat

This Primal Performance Series V2.0 commercial squat machine is a plate loaded lever squat that doubles as a standing calf raise, built for commercial gyms, PT studios and S&C facilities. It has a 300 kg maximum weight capacity, a 1610 × 1690 mm footprint and a height of 1665 mm.

Shoulder pads and a lever arm carry the load, so lifters can squat deep and heavy with far less pressure on the lower back than a barbell squat. The angled, non slip foot plate with grips turns the same machine into a calf raise station.

Who it is for

• Commercial gyms wanting a heavy leg machine that members can load and use without a spotter
• PT studios coaching clients who are not ready for loaded barbell squats
• Strength and conditioning facilities needing a second squat option when racks are full
• Lifters managing back niggles who still want to train legs hard

Key features

• Two machines in one: lever squat plus calf raise from the same frame
• 300 kg maximum weight capacity for heavy leg sessions
• Deeper than a free squat, with support that keeps the movement controlled and safe
• Angled, non slip foot plate with grips for secure footing under load and for calf raises
• Single or double leg use, so unilateral leg work is easy to programme
• Extended weight horns that take plenty of plates, plus thick cushioned pads on a matte black steel frame

Muscles worked and training uses

A lever squat trains the full lower body through a fixed arc, letting users go deep and load heavy with the spine better supported than under a bar.

• Primary: quadriceps and glutes
• Secondary: hamstrings, adductors and calves
• Heavy squat sets without the need for a rack or spotter
• Deep squats for quad and glute hypertrophy
• Single leg squats to address left and right strength gaps
• Standing calf raises using the angled foot plate

Specifications

Frequently asked questions

How much floor space does this lever squat need?

It is 1610 mm long, 1690 mm wide and 1665 mm high. Allow about 600 mm clear around it for loading plates and stepping in and out, so plan on a zone of roughly 2.8 × 2.9 m.

How is it loaded and what is the capacity?

It is plate loaded with 50 mm Olympic plates, which are not included, and Primal rates it to a 300 kg maximum weight capacity.

What ceiling height do I need?

The frame is 1665 mm tall and the lifter stands up to full height under the shoulder pads, so allow for your tallest users standing plus a little extra. A standard 2.4 m ceiling suits most gyms.

What is the warranty?

Primal Strength lists full commercial use cover of 5 years on the frame, 3 years on parts, 1 year on cables, pulleys, bearings and wearables, and 1 year labour.

Do you deliver and install in Australia?

Yes. We ship Australia-wide from our Melbourne warehouse, and most metro deliveries arrive 1 to 7 business days after dispatch. Primal lists the shipping weight at 210 kg, so some regional addresses need a freight quote. Use the Ask about this machine form on this page for a delivery and installation quote.

Can I do calf raises on it?

Yes. The angled foot plate has grips built in, so users can stand on the edge and do loaded standing calf raises using the same shoulder pads and plates.
