The Cybex Hack Squat Machine is a plate-loaded leg machine built for deep, heavy squats with your back fully supported. You stand on a large angled footplate, set your shoulders under the pads and squat along a smooth linear track. This used unit is in excellent condition, with a black frame, charcoal upholstery and the original Cybex "Plate Loaded Hack Squat" instruction placard.
Cybex Hack Squat for Sale: Overview
If you're looking for a Cybex hack squat for sale, this is the Cybex Plate Loaded Hack Squat, product number 16200, with the same 81" × 61" × 54" footprint that Cybex lists for that model. Cybex has discontinued it, so a quality used machine is now the main way to get one. It's a proven leg builder for strength gyms, bodybuilding gyms, team weight rooms and serious home gyms.
Key Features
Cybex lists these features for the Plate Loaded Hack Squat, and you can see most of them in the photos:
- Fully enclosed linear bearing system for a smooth, quiet ride.
- Hip-height plate loading, so you don't have to bend low to load plates.
- Large non-skid footplate with room for narrow, wide and high stances.
- Dual-height start position to suit users of different heights.
- Six plate storage positions to keep plates close and the floor clear.
- Rotating carriage stops that lock the sled when you get in and out.
How Much Does a Cybex Hack Squat Weigh?
Cybex lists the machine at 390 lb with a footprint of 81" long, 61" wide and 54" high. That is the weight of the whole machine with no plates loaded, which matters for delivery, moving it into place and checking your floor. You can confirm these figures on the Cybex Plate Loaded Hack Squat specifications page.
Cybex Hack Squat Starting Weight Explained
People searching for the Cybex hack squat starting weight usually want to know how heavy the sled feels before any plates go on. That number is different from the machine's 390 lb. Cybex does not publish a starting weight for this model, and we won't guess one. If you need the exact figure for your training log, contact us and we'll measure the sled resistance on this unit for you.
The same goes for the Cybex hack squat weight without plates. The frame weighs 390 lb, but the resistance you lift with an empty sled is much lower and depends on the sled and the angle of the track.
Muscles Worked
According to the placard on the machine, the hack squat trains:
- Primary: quadriceps and gluteus maximus.
- Secondary: hamstrings and adductors. How much they work depends on where you place your feet.
A lower foot position puts more focus on the quads. A higher, wider stance brings in more glutes and hamstrings.
How to Use the Cybex Hack Squat Machine
These steps follow the Cybex instruction placard:
- Load weight plates evenly on both sides.
- Place your feet securely on the footplate, with your shoulders and back flat against the pads.
- Lift the weight and rotate the carriage stops to the unlocked position.
- Grip the stabilization handles lightly.
- Lower and lift the weight with smooth, controlled movements, keeping your back flat against the pads.
- With your legs extended, rotate the carriage stops to the locked position and lower the carriage onto the stops.
Condition and What's Included
This machine is used and graded Excellent. Seven photos show this exact unit, including the frame, pads, footplate, weight horns and placard. Weight plates are not included. Plate-loaded machines have no cables or weight stack, so upkeep is simple: keep the bearing rails clean and check the bolts now and then. Our gym equipment maintenance checklist covers the details.
Hack Squat or Leg Press?
A hack squat feels closer to a real squat and puts more focus on the quads. A leg press usually lets you move more weight with your torso still. Read our hack squat vs leg press guide to decide which suits you, or compare this machine with the Cybex Squat Press and the Cybex Plate Loaded Leg Press.
