Have it paired up with my Rogue Rhino. Fits nice and snug on my top crossmember. Paid for performance and got it.

For the upper paired with a Rhino... Amazing. Works great to quickly give you a high pull point. The sizing is perfect as well. Expensive, but you can feel the build quality, as with anything from SS.

This was a great upgrade from a regular pulley. The weight plates stopped swaying into me. Then I got a rhino and it was perfect pairing was able to get great lat and tricep work.

I think the UPS High is underrated for smaller spaces. I have a smaller gym space with a four-post power rack next to the back wall. Adding a standard lat pulldown attachment to the back of my rack would have required moving the rack out more, which would have meant less floor space for me. The UPS High allows me to have a rack attached lat pulldown coming off the side of my rack. I use a Bells of Steel leg roller to hold my legs down. I can bench and then sit up and go right into a lat pulldown. It’s expensive for what it is, and having to deal with a loading pin can be cumbersome. But it works really well. I bought a Bells of Steel cable tower and modded it for pulldowns, and I keep going back to my UPS High for any heavy lat pulldown movements because it feels superior.

I used this as my primary cable exercise machine for 4 years. Paired with the UPS low, it is very versatile. It's very well built but also very pricey. Its low profile is great for people with a low ceiling.

Probably one of the best choices for a plate loaded, rack attached cable system. Built strong and sturdy but really overpriced for what it does

Another nicely built piece from Surplus Strength. This is a huge upgrade over your normal Spud Inc style pulleys. You don't get as much momentum when using a loading pin and weights, but it's still present. If you're looking at this, the lower UPS, loading pin, etc it ends up being quite a costly piece.
