Which cable attachments will fit my machine?

The short answer

Almost everything on the consumer shelf meets at a carabiner or snap hook, and almost everything will connect. What decides whether it works is three published details:

The eye or D-ring diameter on the attachment, which has to accept the hook on the machine.

The pin diameter where an attachment pins directly into a weight stack or a selectorised station — commonly around 10 mm, and not interchangeable across brands.

Whether anything swivels, which decides the angle everything hangs at.

What is not standardised

There is no published body behind any of this. Machines end in whatever hook the maker chose, attachments carry whatever ring the factory welded, and pin sizes follow a house convention rather than a document.

That is why a page here reports the fitting a maker publishes, in millimetres where a figure is given, and records “not published” where one is not — rather than inferring a fit from listing photographs, which show a hook and never a dimension.

The figures worth having written down

Before buying attachments, note from the machine’s own listing or manual:

• The hook or carabiner type supplied, and its gate opening if published.
• The pin diameter, for anything that pins into a stack.
• The cable end fitting, and whether it swivels.
• The pulley ratio, since it decides what any attachment actually loads.

Those four settle nearly every attachment question, and all four appear on better listings.

Where this stops

A rating published for a hook is the maker’s statement about that hook. Where a component is substituted, nothing on this site describes the result — and no page here calls any attachment, hook or cable safe.

Where this page disagrees with the manufacturer’s own documentation, the documentation is right. Every mass, load rating, bore diameter, stride length, belt size, foam density, hole spacing and torque figure on this page comes from the maker’s own published figures, with the unit as printed and the source named. None of it is measured here, and no figure is converted into another convention, because a converted number is a different number. And the limit this page does not cross: a bore is a diameter, and it does not negotiate. A 50 mm plate will not go on a 30 mm bar and a 30 mm plate rattles on a 50 mm sleeve; an adapter adds length where there is often none to spare. This page reports the bore each maker publishes, in millimetres as printed, and where a listing gives none it says so rather than inferring one from a photograph.
