It is a two-stack cable machine that replaces a wall of single-purpose stations. Two independent pulleys, adjustable through a long vertical range, let you press, pull, chop, row and carry from one frame. That is the whole argument for commercial functional trainers, and the HD-4000 makes it with commercial-grade hardware rather than home-gym shortcuts.
Hoist builds this one in its HD line, the series the San Diego manufacturer aims at home gyms and small studios rather than high-traffic club floors. At $7,700 it sits at the top of that line, and Hamilton Home Fitness lists the price publicly instead of hiding it behind a form.
Is a functional trainer worth it for a home gym? For most people, yes. One frame covers pressing, pulling and rotational work, and the cable path reaches angles a barbell cannot. The catch is space and load. Both are covered below.
Two 240 lb stacks do not give you 480 lb of resistance. The HD-4000 runs a 3:1 ratio, so the pin set at 240 lb puts 80 lb in your hand. That number is the most important spec on this page, and almost no competing product listing explains it.
What does a 3:1 pulley ratio mean? The cable travels roughly three inches for every inch the stack rises. You trade felt load for cable length, which is exactly why this machine offers 100" of travel per side.
| Ratio | Feel at the handle | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| 1:1 | Full stack weight | Heavy rows, pulldowns |
| 2:1 | Roughly half the stack | General cable training |
| 3:1 (HD-4000) | 80 lb from a 240 lb stack | Long-range, higher-rep work |
So this is a reach machine, not a max-effort machine. Wood chops, cable flys, loaded carries, overhead patterns and single-arm work all benefit from that 100" of rope. If your plan is built on heavy single-arm rows, compare a lower-ratio option in the wider home workout machines range first.
Measure the arms-out reach, not the base. That is where most orders go wrong.
A 124" reach is 10 ft 4 in. A 92" frame leaves four inches under a standard 8 ft ceiling, so confirm clearance before you order rather than after the freight arrives. At 903 lb it stays exactly where it is set, which is excellent for stability and unforgiving of a change of mind. Laying out a whole room? Book a gym design consultation and map the floor before anything ships.

Hoist positions the HD-4000 for strength, rehab, power and mobility work, including unilateral training, anti-rotation progressions, sport-specific power drills and low-impact therapeutic progressions. Treat the rehab framing as the manufacturer's rather than a clinical claim, and clear any injury programming with your physical therapist first.
The HD-4000 is the ceiling of Hoist's HD series, which runs $3,960 to $7,700. Here is how the nearby models price out on the full Hoist range:
If $7,700 is more than the room justifies, the Mi6 Functional Trainer at $4,400 covers the same movement patterns for less. Compare both before you commit the floor space.
You can order the HD-4000 online and ship it to any US state from our Tennessee warehouse. The manufacturer warranty applies and we honor it on every unit sold. Programming notes, downloadable manuals and the spec sheet come with the machine, which shortens the ramp for anyone training clients on it.
Do you need a quote to buy Hoist equipment? No. The price is on this page and the machine goes in the cart. Ask about bulk pricing, financing or service plans on 423-458-2453 if you are buying more than one unit.
Our 30-day return policy covers undamaged equipment in original packaging with proof of purchase. A 25% restocking fee applies and return shipping is yours, so measure the doorway, the ceiling and the floor before you order. Custom imported configurations are final sale.
Still unsure which finish or footprint works? Contact the team before you buy, not after.
How many people can train on the HD-4000 at once?
Two. The machine carries two independent 240 lb stacks, so one user on each side never interrupts the other. That is the practical reason to choose a dual-stack frame over a single-stack one.
What is the maximum resistance per handle?
80 lb. The 3:1 ratio converts the 240 lb stack into 80 lb of felt load at the handle. Both cables can be worked together for compound pulls.
Does it need to be bolted to the floor?
The HD-4000 weighs 903 lb, and that mass is what stabilizes it. Hoist specifies solid flooring and a clear installation plan, so confirm your subfloor carries the load before delivery day.
What comes with the machine?
A manual, warranty documentation, a brochure and a spec sheet. CAD or BIM files are available on request for architects and facility planners.
Can I change the upholstery color?
Yes. The HD-4000 is listed in Black, Silver and White, and custom upholstery options are available. Call before ordering to confirm the finish you want.
How does it compare to the H-8?
The H-8 Functional Trainer is priced at $7,999, just above the HD-4000. Both are Hoist cable trainers, so the deciding factors are room dimensions and how many people train at once.
Measure twice, then add the HD-4000 to your cart. It ships nationwide from Tennessee, carries the manufacturer warranty, and comes back inside 30 days if the room genuinely will not take it.
