Parks, campuses and bases that want an outdoor lat pulldown machine get one that works the back, shoulders and arms using the user’s own body weight as resistance. TriActive USA calls it the Seated Lat Pull, and it works the same way as a gym pulldown: the user sits and pulls, and because the resistance is body weight there are no exposed cables or hydraulics to maintain. It is made of weather resistant materials designed to withstand intensive use and is intended for users weighing up to 330 lb. It comes in green or blue. The seat and back rest support the body through the full pull.
The seat and back rest are 1/4 in. sheet metal, so there is no plastic seating to crack. A 10-year limited warranty covers non-moving parts and 5 years covers moving parts. In a facility with several strength units, this is the pulling counterpart to the Seated Chest Press and Overhead Shoulder Press, which use the same body weight approach. A base planning outdoor gym equipment for military bases can place the three together as a pressing and pulling area.
