The DHZ U2063 Prestige Smith Machine is a plate-loaded strength-training station designed around a stable vertical Smith bar path, providing controlled bar movement for a variety of strength exercises.
Part of the DHZ Prestige Series, the U2063 combines multiple locking positions, an open training area and integrated weight-plate storage to create a practical strength-training station for professional gym environments.
Stable Vertical Smith Bar Path
The Smith bar moves vertically along a fixed path, providing consistent guided movement throughout the exercise.
DHZ specifically highlights the stable bar path as an aid for exercisers when establishing an appropriate squat position.
Multiple Locking Positions
Multiple locking positions allow the user to secure the Smith bar at different points along its movement path.
The bar can be stopped by rotating the Smith bar, providing multiple stopping positions during the exercise.
Cushioned Protective Base
A cushioned base is positioned at the bottom of the Smith system to help protect the machine from damage caused by a sudden drop of the load bar.
Low Starting Bar Weight
The Smith Bar System is designed with a low starting weight to provide a training experience closer to conventional weightlifting while retaining the benefits of a fixed guided path.
Open Training Design
The U2063 features an open design that provides a spacious exercise area and a wider field of view.
According to DHZ, this configuration is intended to provide a freer training experience while retaining the guided movement of the Smith system.
Six Weight Storage Horns
The machine incorporates six weight-storage horns, providing convenient storage for multiple weight plates and helping keep the training area organized.
