Brand: TRUE Fitness · Category: Plate Loaded

The TRUE PLS-1400 Pendulum Squat is a full-commercial plate-loaded pendulum squat machine from TRUE’s Palladium series, built for commercial gyms and athletic facilities that want a deep, knee-friendly squat with adjustable resistance. A unique pendulum movement gives a full range of motion while keeping the knee over the ankle, plates load at the back to add resistance or at the front to reduce it, and a dual safety catch secures every lift on an oversized non-skid platform. It occupies 226 × 104 cm of floor.

• Pendulum arc keeps knee-to-ankle alignment

• Back-load to add, front-load to reduce resistance

• Dual safety catch system

• Oversized non-skid platform

• Plate loaded, 226 × 104 cm footprint

The TRUE PLS-1400 is the pendulum squat in TRUE Fitness’s Palladium plate-loaded line, with a unique movement pattern that allows a complete range of motion while maintaining proper knee-to-ankle alignment. Weight plates are back-loaded to add resistance and front-loaded to reduce it, the oversized non-skid platform supports multiple foot positions, and a dual safety catch system enhances security throughout the lift.

Who is this machine for?

The PLS-1400 suits commercial gyms, strength and athletic facilities, bodybuilding clubs and premium home gyms in India that want members to squat deep and heavy with the knees tracking correctly and the spine supported.

Muscles worked and key exercises

The pendulum squat targets the quadriceps and glutes with the hamstrings and adductors assisting. The arc keeps the knee over the ankle through the whole descent, so the quads are loaded hard at depth without the knee drifting forward, and foot position on the platform shifts the emphasis.

Build quality and adjustment

The pendulum arm swings through its arc on commercial bearings, plate horns at the back add resistance and at the front reduce it, the platform is oversized with a non-skid surface, and dual safety catches hold the carriage at any point, with an instruction placard fitted.

Like every Palladium machine, it is TRUE’s premium plate-loaded design: unilateral lever arms that converge or diverge along the natural arc of the joint, gas-assisted seat adjustment, built-in weight-storage posts, an instruction placard and a height-adjustment guide, finished in matte-black powder coat with custom frame colours and 18 upholstery options. Resistance comes from the Olympic plates the facility already owns. TRUE backs the frame and welds for 10 years with 5 years on bearings, bushings and pulleys.

Space and installation

The PLS-1400 measures 226 × 104 × 152 cm (89" × 41" × 60") (L × W × H). The PLS-1400 measures 226 × 104 × 152 cm (L × W × H). Allow about 0.8 m clear at each end for loading plates and 0.6 m at the platform. No power is needed. Luxe Fitness delivers, assembles and levels the machine; plates are chosen separately.

Care and maintenance

Wipe the upholstery and grips after each session and unload plates between users. Check the pivot bearings, gas cylinders, plate horns and lock-outs monthly and tighten frame bolts quarterly. Book a service visit if any pivot develops play or noise.

Frequently asked questions

What is a pendulum squat?

A squat on an arm that swings through an arc rather than a straight track, so the knee stays over the ankle at depth and the resistance curve matches the strength curve of the legs; it is a favourite of bodybuilders for quad development.

How does front loading reduce resistance on the TRUE PLS-1400?

Plates on the front horns counterbalance the arm, so lighter members and warm-up sets use a lower starting load; plates on the back horns add resistance.

What warranty does the TRUE PLS-1400 have in India?

Luxe Fitness offers up to 5 years warranty on this machine, covering frame, major moving parts and upholstery on separate terms. Ask us for the warranty card for your exact model before purchase.
