What is the Cybex 5480 used for?

It looks like a deadlifting/rack pull platform to me, but I never see anyone using it.

I was doing rack pulls in the power rack today, but thought I might try out this contraption next time.

I just wanted to make sure no one was going to laugh at me for deadlifiting in a curling station.

Could be used for shrugs, straight leg deadlift, BICEP CURLS…etc

I don’t know why anyone would buy this over a power rack

Price?

They have 2 power racks, and this platform.

At the gym I train in there are two.

They are used for deadlifts and modifications of the deadlift (RDL’s, SLDL’s, rack pulls, shrugs).

Takes up less space than a power rack. For a commercial gym w/ limited space and existing power racks, it’s a good addition. For a home gym a rack would be much better.
