This Belt Squat Machine is a commercial plate loaded belt squat exclusively manufactured and distributed throughout the world on behalf of Matt Wenning. For any USA or Canadian sales please visit Wenning Strength
When looking for a belt squat machine there are a few key features to look out for as not every belt squat is built the same. This wenning belt squat is designed to replicate the squat with a 1:1 ratio. Machines like the 45 degree leg press or hack squat allow you to load more weight than you would normally be able to lift, not so with the belt squat!
This plate loaded belt squat not only helps with improving squat technique, it also assists those with injuries and teaches the user to squat with correct form without any stress on the spine, which is often associated with barbell squatting.
Apart from the obvious difficulty in setting up and the dangers of squatting on unstable equipment, the main disadvantage is the inability to change your foot placement effectively, having a safety stop or using an appropriate weight tested belt (many dipping belts are not rated to take hundreds of kilograms and snap during the movement causing injury).
We opted for a large 1200mm wide solid steel platform giving you the option to switch from a wide ‘Sumo’ stance to a narrow ‘Olympic’ stance safely and effectively on our belt squat.
Adjustable starting heights and an automatic pivoting handle allow you to concentrate 100% on your technique.
The machine comes complete with a custom medium belt. If you require an additional smaller or larger belt please select the option above (please note the belts are not available to buy without the machine)
Known in the industry as a hip belt squat machine this plate loaded machine not only allows for safe rehabilitation but is a great tool for Strength and Conditioning facilities within Schools, Colleges, Universities or Rugby Clubs thanks to its inbuilt spotter arm which protect you during failed lifts.
Other lever belt squat machine alternatives include standing on squat boxes, flat weights benches or adjustable benches and even using a smith machine but none offer the same benefits as the belt squat machine.
Built using heavy duty 30mm bearings and stainless steel toleranced shafts result in a heavy duty machine that will hold up to 400kg with a precision fit and custom finish.
SO WHAT IS THE BELT SQUAT AND WHY DO I NEED ONE?
Spinal compression can be a major problem to the average gym goer as well as the seasoned athlete. Niggling back or shoulder issues can prevent you from squatting due to pain and irritation setting your leg development back weeks and sometimes even months
The belt squat is the ultimate tool to combat this as your hips bear the brunt of the load using a specially made lifting belt. Be careful when opting for cheap leather dipping belts which stretch & snap under heavy loads leading to more back issues!
You should invest in a Matt Wenning Belt Squat because it can
- Allows for easy set up when squatting heavy loads
- Tested and designed by a 1100+lb squatter
- Safe training when recovering from back or shoulder issues
- Perfect coaching tool for new clients in order to teach correct form
- The load is concentrated on the legs unlike the squat
- Complete with band pegs for dynamic training
- Handle allows you to ‘sit’ into the squat for great hamstring activation

EXCELLENT PIECE OF KIT!
This has been a great addition to the gym. Extremely well made – the quality of materials used and craftmanship is on point – and its dripping in extra features like adjustable band pegs and different size belts making this accessible to many users. We’ve had this side by side with a similar piece and this hands down has proven to be more effective, more popular, better made and proves that you should always buy the original not the copy. As a company Kustom Kit are the best British gym kit manufacturer we’ve dealt with in the twenty years we’ve been in business, standing head and shoulders above the competition despite claims to the contrary.

THIS BELT SQUAT IS AMAZING
We’ve bought quite a lot of Kustom Kit equipment so far and plan on buying a lot more because it’s amazing!
In our gym the Kustom Kit equipment sits along side a lot of Eleiko and Nautilus machines and it absolutely holds its own against some of the other (because I now count Kustom kit in this bracket) best kit in the world.

Had my eye on one of these for a while and finally took the plunge. What a great addition to my leg area. Very versatile too! Wide stance, split squats, shrugs, rows, donkey calfs.. All possible on this one machine.
Members are really impressed. Build quality is superb. Love it.

TOP CLASS KIT & SERVICE
I purchased the Wenning Belt Squat from Kustomkit a few months back and it genuinely is a top class piece of kit. My clients absolutely love it. It is a very safe way to load up the squat pattern without placing unnecessary stress on the spine, it also makes it very easy to coach the movement.
From the minute I got in touch via Instagram the Kustom crew were nothing but helpful and very professional.
Prompt delivery and this piece of kit was also very easy to assemble.
It won’t be long until I purchase more equipment & I’m looking forward to availing of their services soon!
