The table shows the key specs. Tick up to 4 to compare every published spec side by side, or open a product for its full sheet. Line drawings show the type of equipment, not the exact product. Manufacturer-stated specifications. "At handle" is our calculation: stack (or rated limit) ÷ pulley ratio at the main adjustable pulleys; some machines have other stations at different ratios. "Unknown" means the ratio or stack isn't published, so we don't assume one.
