Explore our flagship OEM strength collection, manufactured to industrial-grade standards for high-traffic Australian fitness hubs, commercial gyms, and strength facilities.
The Australian commercial fitness industry is experiencing a structural shift towards high-intensity strength conditioning, body-recomposition hubs, and power-focused boutique facilities. Within this landscape, the 45-Degree Plate-Loaded Hack Squat Machine stands out as a non-negotiable anchor unit for serious strength floors. However, procuring OEM fitness machinery for Australian facilities presents unique challenges: strict safety regulations under AS/NZS 3845 and EN ISO 20957-1 Class S standards, high freight handling stresses over maritime routes, and demanding member usage profiles requiring continuous zero-downtime operation.
As a specialized original equipment manufacturer (OEM), HARTIS Strength (OÜ Prof Gym Equipment) delivers custom-engineered Hack Squat solutions engineered to bypass generic market compromises. By combining heavy-gauge structural steel (up to 3.0mm/11-gauge wall thickness), linear ball-bearing guide rails, and ergonomic biomechanical pivot points, our machinery guarantees maximum quad isolation while relieving shear stress on the patellar tendon and lumbar spine.
Traditional squatting subjects the lumbar spine to axial loading and compressive shear forces. Our OEM Hack Squat carriage glides along a precision 45-degree angle path. This vector distributes load evenly across the kinetic chain, directing tension straight to the quadriceps femoris (rectus femoris, vastus lateralis, and vastus medialis) while stabilizing the sacral spine against high-density EVA back pads.
Generic strength frames imported into regional markets often use 1.5mm to 2.0mm light tubing, leading to frame flex and premature metal fatigue under 300kg+ loads. HARTIS constructs every commercial frame from heavy-duty 80x50x3mm or 100x50x3mm structural steel box tubing, robots-welded to EN ISO 20957 Class S commercial standards to eliminate structural deflection entirely.
User safety in unassisted commercial environments is paramount. Our custom OEM Hack Squats incorporate quad-position mechanical safety lockouts with textured tactile lockout handles. Members can safely rack the carriage at any position along the travel arc without risk of bottoming out, regardless of muscle exhaustion or height variations.

Supplying fitness equipment to Australia requires deep alignment with regional facility operational models across states like New South Wales (NSW), Victoria (VIC), Queensland (QLD), and Western Australia (WA). Below are the core localized intent factors shaping commercial equipment purchases across the continent:
With 24/7 unstaffed gym models dominant across Australian suburbs (from Western Sydney to Suburban Melbourne), machinery must withstand constant abuse without requiring constant staff intervention. Sealed self-lubricating linear bearings ensure silent, smooth travel without grease buildup that attracts dust and debris.
Facilities located in coastal zones like Gold Coast, Perth, Sunshine Coast, and Northern Beaches face high atmospheric salinity that degrades cheap metal finishes. HARTIS applies an electrostatic dual-stage zinc-phosphate primer beneath a thick thermosetting powder coat to guarantee rust inhibition and superior cosmetic retention.
Modern Australian strength clubs emphasize strong visual identities on social media platforms. OEM customization allows club owners to select frame colors across 40+ powder-coat finishes, matching exact corporate brand hex codes with custom-embroidered leatherette pads.
Purchasing heavy commercial equipment internationally often exposes buyers to hidden port handling fees, customs clearance hurdles, import taxes, and logistics delays. HARTIS Strength streamlines the entire supply chain by delivering every order under DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) terms.
We manage maritime freight directly into major Australian container gateways—including Port Botany (Sydney), Port of Melbourne, Port of Brisbane, and Fremantle Port (Perth)—handling all customs documentation, import duties, and local tail-lift transport to your doorstep.
As a true manufacturer, we offer full design flexibility. Modify machine geometry, frame thickness, loading sleeve lengths, and brand aesthetic without compromising structural certification.
Select from Anthracite Grey, Jet Black, Traffic Red, Flame Orange, or custom RAL swatches. Minimum order quantity of 6 units per custom color, with zero price surcharge for standard spectrum options.
Equip your Hack Squat with extended stainless steel loading sleeves (400mm+ length) designed to hold maximum Olympic bumper or cast iron plates for competitive lifting facilities.
Oversized anti-slip rubberized or diamond-plate foot platforms with multi-angle adjustments to accommodate calf raises, deep hack squats, and narrow-stance quad isolation foot positions.
Incorporate your gym logo directly onto high-density tear-resistant leatherette padding with industrial UV-stabilized stitching, elevating your facility's premium look.
With over ten years of commercial fitness manufacturing experience under Prof Gym Equipment and HARTIS Strength, our company founder Vasyl Ilkiv established a direct manufacturing framework designed to address common pain points in international equipment sourcing.
We hold our own technical drawings, run automated quality control programs, and handle full production lines. When you communicate with us, you speak directly with engineers who understand steel yield strengths, pivot geometry, and assembly protocols.
Every single Hack Squat machine and strength frame is fully assembled, load-tested, and inspected before leaving the factory floor. Weld integrity, bearing travel smoothness, and surface coating thickness are documented via video before dispatch.
We eliminate proprietary component traps. All linear bearings, guide rods, pulleys, cables, and fasteners utilize standard industrial ISO dimensions. Replacement wear parts dispatch from centralized stock within 5 working days.
Manufacturing takes approximately 30 to 60 days depending on custom specifications, followed by maritime freight shipping (typically 18 to 28 days to major Australian ports like Sydney, Melbourne, or Brisbane). Total door-to-door delivery usually ranges between 9 to 12 weeks from confirmed deposit.
Under DDP terms, HARTIS handles all international ocean freight, Australian customs entry declarations, import tariffs, customs clearance charges, and local tail-lift truck delivery straight to your commercial site. The landed price quoted is all-inclusive with zero surprise invoices.
All HARTIS commercial strength machinery, including our Hack Squats and Leg Press units, undergo rigorous structural testing to conform to EN ISO 20957-1 Class S standards for heavy commercial gym usage, exceeding general Australian commercial strength requirements.
No unit MOQ is enforced for standard inventory orders. For custom powder-coated frame colors matched to your gym branding, a minimal run of 6 machine units of that color combination applies without added color surcharges.
Because all pivots, linear guide bearings, and aircraft-grade steel cables use standard ISO industrial dimensions, replacement parts can be sourced locally in Australia or dispatched directly from our warehouse within 5 working days under our comprehensive component warranty.
Our standard terms are a 30% deposit upon contract sign-off to initiate raw material sourcing and production slot allocation, with the remaining 70% balance due prior to factory dispatch following pre-shipment inspection approval.
Yes. Send us your architectural floor plan or space dimensions, and our engineering team will provide a scaled 3D layout, equipment recommendation list, and landed DDP quote within 2 to 3 working days free of charge.
