Kraken Rack Attachment for 4 Post Hydra & Manticore Racks (Single Side)

The Kraken is a compact rack-mounted cable system, turning your 3” x 3” 4-post power rack ⅝” or 1” holes into a dual-handle cable tower with 5lbs to 210+lbs of resistance! All of this while maintaining the use of your barbell and rack attachments.

It comes in two versions: Plate-Loaded, where using your weight plates saves you big bucks, or Weight Stack: offering convenient 210-pound stacks for quick, no-fuss adjustments. And with all the time you'll save, you can finally tackle that science experiment growing in your never-been-washed support wear. Sicko.

Thanks to the knurled handle, nylon rollers and chrome-coated pop pins, the trolleys are adjustable with a single hand. By using your uprights’ holes for height selections, you can fine-tune the feel of nearly all your cable exercises.

The Kraken saves the clangin’ & bangin’ for your barbell lifts; its aluminum pulleys and dual guide rods deliver the kind of velvety smoothness you'd expect at a commercial gym — but without the crowds, the dude grunting in the corner, and that fit-fluencer hogging the Smith Machine for “just one more angle.”

The dual aluminum handles have 6002 bearings, rotating as smoothly as a barbell, and allow bilateral exercises from a single upright. A single cable features a 2:1 pull ratio (10lbs feels like 5lbs), tackling everything from rehab work to isolations. Plus, the cable travel offers uninterrupted focus during sport-specific drills or while getting that joooooicy bicep pump.

When connected with the cable adapter, the Kraken converts into a glorious 1:1 pull ratio — perfect for heavy lat pulldowns & low rows — with no need to buy a separate weight pack expansion down the road.

Safety is no afterthought either — the Weight Stack version features optional shrouds that do double duty: protecting fingers (big and small) AND acting as a pegboard, keeping your cable attachments neatly stowed using their included hooks. This means more family time while keeping your little ones safe… because a home gym shouldn't need a “Caution: Dangerous Sh*t EVERYWHERE” sign.

A single side of the Kraken includes:
- two aluminum handles
- one cable adapter
- aluminum pulley wheels
- cables
- trolley
- guide rods
- weight carriage or weight stacks
- mounting brackets
- mounting hardware

Bells of Steel Compatibility Chart

This Kraken configuration is compatible with the racks listed below:

Non-BoS Rack Compatibility: You don’t need one of our power racks to unleash The Kraken! This rack attachment’s mounting brackets make it an awesome addition to most 3” x 3” power racks. Plus, we’ve got affordable rack components to bridge any gaps. See? No Bells of Steel blood oath required.

IMPORTANT: Rack must be bolted down for user & equipment safety. Single-sided cable use causes faster wear on the cable & pulleys and can cause cable twisting. For single limb exercises under 10lbs, please use BOTH cables simultaneously. For single limb exercise 10lbs or more, we recommend to use the cable adapter.
