1RM Ebony Smith Functional Trainer Rack with Pivot Arms

The 1RM Ebony Smith & Functional Trainer Rack with Pivot Arms takes everything proven in our standard Ebony system and adds one major upgrade — extended cable reach with dynamic movement freedom. You can squat, bench press and overhead press using the rack and safeties, train heavy and safely on the 400kg-rated Smith, or move seamlessly into cable-based and pivot-arm movements — all within the same footprint.

It includes a built-in squat rack with premium J-hooks, a fully rated Smith machine, and a dual adjustable pulley system — now expanded with pivot arms for increased reach and movement range in one compact footprint. The addition of pivot arms allows the cables to move forward from the frame, increasing usable space and improving movement angles for presses, rows, fly variations and athletic training patterns.

The result is a more natural cable path, greater range of motion, and a machine that feels less confined — without increasing the overall footprint.

Built on the same 75x75mm commercial-grade frame as the standard Ebony model, this upgraded version is designed for serious home gyms, PT studios and commercial environments that want maximum versatility from a single unit.

What The Pivot Arms Add

The pivot arm system is not cosmetic — it changes how the machine performs.

• 180° horizontal rotation
• Optional horizontal lock (wide, narrow or fixed position)
• 90° vertical articulation
• Forward cable travel for extended pressing and fly work
• Freely moving or fixed-angle training options

When unlocked, the arms move dynamically with your body.

When locked, they behave like a fixed cable path.

This gives you the choice between stability and freedom depending on the movement.

What This Machine Is Used For

This is a true all-in-one strength station:

• Squats, bench press and overhead press using rack + J-hooks
• Heavy pressing and lower body work on the Smith machine
• Chest presses and fly variations with pivot arms
• Rows, pulldowns and rear delt work
• Functional cable training
• Core and rotational work
• Controlled hypertrophy work with constant tension

It covers barbell training, cable isolation, and functional pressing patterns — all in one frame.
