The APE Universal Trainer SE is a power rack with a cable system and weight plates, sold as one multi-function strength station that ships by freight. It suits gyms, studios and large home gyms that would rather buy one machine than a rack and a separate cable station.
What the listing confirms:
| Attribute | Value |
|---|---|
| Machine type | Power rack with cable system |
| Weight plates | 2 x 176 lb |
| Crate size | 90.6 x 35.4 x 19.7 in |
| Lead time | Import, 45 to 60 days |
Converted from the manufacturer's metric figures. Crate size is the shipping crate, not the assembled machine.
What the combination gives you:
✅ Cable work and rack work on one frame
✅ Cable paths a barbell can't follow
Looking for one machine that covers rack and cable sessions? Add the APE Universal Trainer SE to your cart today.
A cable system routes the load through pulleys, so a cable station can row, press or pull from set angles with steady resistance through the rep. The SE listing does not name its cable stations or attachments, so check the station list before you build a program around it. Our functional trainer buying guide explains cable stacks and pulleys.
Choose the SE if cable work matters most; choose the APE Smith machine and rack combo if a guided bar matters more, since the SE listing names no guided bar.
Weighing several all-in-one machines? Our all-in-one home gym trainer comparison sets out how they differ.
A straight, clear run to the training room matters more than the room itself. Our freight delivery guide covers the carrier terms you will meet.
Measure every turn and doorway on the delivery path before you order, because the crate is long and narrow.

Shipping is free on all APE equipment. Hamilton Home Fitness sends APE equipment by freight, so keep your receiving day flexible while the import is on its way.
You have 30 days from purchase to return the machine with a receipt or proof of purchase, provided it is working, undamaged, and in its original packaging; a damaged or incomplete return may be refunded only in part. A 25% restocking fee applies; you cover return shipping; equipment used beyond testing can't come back; and custom imported items are final sale with their warranty still in force. Cancelling before shipment costs 2.5%, as our shipping and returns policy explains.
The machine carries its manufacturer's warranty. If something isn't working after delivery, call us and we'll work with you to put it right under that warranty.
A power rack holds a barbell at adjustable heights inside a frame of uprights, so you can squat and press within the frame. Safety catches, where fitted, stop a failed rep at a set height.
A universal trainer is a multi-station machine that puts several exercises on one frame, often with cables and a weight load. It trades the open bar range of a rack for ready-made stations.
The mix depends on the stations: common ones are rows, pulldowns, presses, curls and triceps pushdowns. Check the station list for the build you are buying before you program around it.
