The Primal Performance Series Club 45 Degree Leg Press is a plate loaded 45 degree leg press rated to a 600 kg maximum load, made for commercial gyms, PT studios and S&C facilities. It measures 2311 × 1636 mm on the floor, stands 1463 mm tall and weighs 298 kg.

Four loadable bullhorns and a two angle oversized footplate give heavy lifters plenty of room to load up, while the 55 kg carriage keeps the starting weight manageable for newer members.

The 45 degree sled lets users push very heavy loads through the legs with the back supported and the spine unloaded.

• Primary: quadriceps and glutes
• Secondary: hamstrings, adductors and calves
• Heavy strength work well above what most members can squat
• High foot, wide stance pressing to bias the glutes and adductors
• Calf raises on the lower edge of the footplate
• Single leg pressing to address strength differences between legs

Specifications

Frequently asked questions

How much space does the 45 degree leg press need?

It is 2311 mm long, 1636 mm wide and 1463 mm high. Add about 600 mm around it for loading plates and getting in, so plan for a zone of roughly 3.5 × 2.8 m.

How much weight can it hold?

It is rated to a 600 kg maximum plate load on four bullhorns, using 50 mm Olympic plates that are sold separately. The carriage itself weighs 55 kg unloaded, and the maximum user weight is 150 kg.

Is ceiling height a problem?

No. The machine is 1463 mm tall and the user presses from a seated, reclined position, so any standard 2.4 m ceiling works.

What warranty is included?

Primal Strength covers it with a full commercial use warranty: 5 years on the frame, 3 years on parts, and 1 year on pads, cables, pulleys and wearables, with 1 year of labour.

Do you deliver and install it in Australia?

Yes. We ship Australia-wide from our Melbourne warehouse, with most metro deliveries 1 to 7 business days after dispatch. It weighs 365 kg packed in a long 2900 × 1200 × 500 mm crate, so check access and note that some regional addresses need a freight quote. Use the Ask about this machine form on this page for a delivery and installation quote.

Can two people share it between sets?

Yes. The quick safety catcher and back pad settings make changeovers fast, which suits busy floors where members work in with each other.
