Palaestra Hip Abductor & Adductor

SELVARNE Strength Works — commercial duty, installed white-glove

The Palaestra treats the lower body with surgical respect: pivot axes aligned to joints, start positions you set once, and resistance that follows the strength curve instead of arguing with it.

Each unit is assembled in the workshop, load-tested beyond its rating, then stripped, crated and rebuilt at your address by our own installation crew. The certificate in the frame pocket records the welder, the inspector and the test load — accountability, in writing.

Design & Engineering

• Carriage angles and back support tuned for deep, spine-friendly range
• Adjustable start stops so every athlete owns their range
• Cam profiles tuned so resistance follows the muscle's true strength curve
• Sealed bearings at every pivot; no greasing schedule, no squeaks
• Entry and exit positions designed for loaded safety, not just lifting
• Smooth-riding carriages on oversized rollers or linear bearings
• Selectorised stack with magnetic pin and 2.5 kg micro-increments

Care

Wipe upholstery with mild soap after use and avoid alcohol-based cleaners, which dry vinyl prematurely. Rotate high-wear pads annually where the design allows. Re-upholstery in the original graphite grain is available from our workshop for the life of the product.

Questions, Answered

What warranty applies?
Ten years structural on frames and welds, three years comprehensive on moving parts and upholstery — among the longest cover in the industry, honoured EU-wide.

Is it suitable for commercial use?
Yes — every SELVARNE machine is rated for full commercial duty cycles; home settings simply enjoy the same engineering with a lighter conscience.

The SELVARNE Promise

SELVARNE ownership is a long relationship, not a transaction: insured delivery across the EU, an extended warranty, and priority access to our maintenance, refurbishment and upgrade programmes for the life of the equipment.
