Max Versatility In Minimal Space
Forget the standalone cable machine. This rack-mounted cable system bolts neatly onto your 3” x 3” power rack and unleashes a whole new world of cable exercises. From pushdowns and curls to glute kickbacks and chest flies, you get the versatility of a cable tower in a fraction of its footprint. Grab a second side for bougie swolemate workouts or seamless cable supersets… Now THAT’S a dream come true.

5lb-210lb Weight Range
This baby’s got RANGE. Thanks to the 2:1 ratio of each cable, keep it as light as 5lbs for rehab work & isolations. For heavy lat pulldowns & rows, connect them using the included cable adapter for a beastly 210+ pounds of resistance at a 1:1 ratio. With such a range on a single Kraken, you get the best of both worlds — it’s literally got your back (and front, and sides). NOTE: For single-limb exercises under 10lbs, use both cables simultaneously. For single-limb exercises with 10lbs or more, use the cable adapter.

One Kraken = Big Savings
Unlike our competitors who force you to buy two sides to perform two-handed exercises, a SINGLE Kraken unlocks all your favorite dual handle cable movements — chest flies, seated rows, lateral raises, and chest presses — without needing to buy a second side. Plus, its 210+lb resistance means no weight expansion pack is needed either... saving you big bucks (and avoiding the headaches of assembling a second Kraken). You’re welcome.
Product Details
The Kraken is a compact rack-mounted cable system, turning your 3” x 3” 4-post power rack with ⅝” or 1” holes into a dual-handle cable tower with 5lbs to 210+lbs of resistance! All of this while maintaining the use of your barbell and rack attachments.
It comes in two versions:
- Plate-Loaded: use your weight plates to save big bucks
- Weight Stack: a convenient 210-pound stack for quick, no-fuss adjustments
Thanks to the knurled handle, nylon rollers and chrome-coated pop pins, the trolleys are adjustable with a single hand. By using your uprights’ holes for height selections, you can fine-tune the feel of nearly all your cable exercises.
The Kraken saves the clangin’ & bangin’ for your barbell lifts; its aluminum pulleys and dual guide rods deliver the kind of velvety smoothness you'd expect at a commercial gym — but without the crowds, the dude grunting in the corner, and that fit-fluencer hogging the Smith Machine for “just one more angle.”
The dual aluminum handles have 6002 bearings, rotating as smoothly as a barbell, and allow bilateral exercises from a single upright. A single cable features a 2:1 pull ratio (10lbs feels like 5lbs), tackling everything from rehab work to isolations. Plus, the cable travel offers uninterrupted focus during sport-specific drills or while getting that joooooicy bicep pump.
When connected with the cable adapter, the Kraken converts into a glorious 1:1 pull ratio — perfect for heavy lat pulldowns & low rows — with no need to buy a separate weight pack expansion down the road.
Safety is no afterthought either — the Weight Stack version features an optional Shroud that does double duty: protecting fingers (big and small) AND acting as a pegboard, keeping your cable attachments neatly stowed using their included hooks. This means more family time while keeping your little ones safe… because a home gym shouldn't need a “Caution: Dangerous Sh*t EVERYWHERE” sign.
A Single Side of the Kraken Includes:
- Two aluminum handles
- One cable adapter
- Aluminum pulley wheels
- Cables
- Trolley
- Guide rods
- Weight carriage or weight stacks
- Mounting brackets
- Mounting hardware

Non-BoS Rack Compatibility: You don’t need one of our power racks to unleash The Kraken! This rack attachment’s mounting brackets make it an awesome addition to most 3” x 3” power racks. Plus, we’ve got affordable rack components to bridge any gaps. See? No Bells of Steel blood oath required.
IMPORTANT: Rack must be bolted down or have Front Foot Stabilizers. Minimize single-sided cable use as it accelerates wear on the cable & pulleys and may cause cable twisting.
