Bells Of Steel Kraken Rack Attachment for 6 Post Hydra Racks (Single Side) - 6P30-84H-PLAT-KRAKEN-HDR-SET

The Kraken is a compact rack-mounted cable system, turning your 3” x 3” 6-post power rack with ⅝” 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.

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  for “just one more angle.”

The dual aluminum handles have 6002 bearings, rotating as smoothly as a , 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 an optional that does double duty: protecting fingers (big and small) AND acting as a pegboard, keeping your 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.

What our Experts Think
  • A serious upgrade for turning your Hydra 6-post rack into a full cable ecosystem. The Kraken attachment adds a dual-function cable system directly onto the rack, eliminating the need for a standalone functional trainer while preserving barbell lifting space.
  • Massive exercise variety in a tight footprint. Once installed, it unlocks 100+ cable movements including rows, curls, pushdowns, flys, and glute work—essentially converting one side of your rack into a commercial-style cable tower.
  • Excellent resistance range for both rehab and strength. The 2:1 ratio allows ultra-light work (as low as ~5 lb feel), while the 1:1 combined setup can push heavy lat pulldowns and rows well over 200 lb of resistance.
  • Space-efficient alternative to full cable machines. Designed specifically for 6-post Hydra racks, it keeps your training footprint compact while adding full upper- and lower-body cable capability.
  • Smooth, commercial-style feel. Aluminum pulleys and bearing-equipped handles provide consistent cable travel and reduce friction for controlled reps and better muscle targeting.
  • Single-side design flexibility. One unit already supports many bilateral movements, but adding a second side transforms it into a fully symmetrical functional trainer setup.
  • Best suited for: advanced home gym owners, strength + hypertrophy training, athletes wanting rack + cable integration, and users replacing multiple standalone machines.
  • Expert tip: plan your rack layout carefully before installing—because the attachment adds rear/side depth, benching and incline movements should be mapped around cable clearance for smooth workflow.
