Cable Storage Buying Guide

Every well-designed training space relies on smart storage, and the Cable Storage System is built to deliver both performance and organisation. Ideal for studios and compact training facilities, it combines fully functional cable training with customisable storage to maximise space.

This guide breaks down what to look for, the configuration options available, and how to choose the right cable storage setup for your space.

What to look for in a cable storage system

Dual Purpose Design

A good storage system should do more than store equipment. Combining cable training with integrated shelving allows you to maintain a clean, organised space while still offering versatile strength training options.

Cable Performance

Look for independent cable columns with a smooth pulley system and a true 1:1 ratio. The BLK BOX system features two separate columns, each with a 120kg weight stack, allowing multiple athletes to train simultaneously with consistent resistance.

Customisable Storage

Storage needs vary between facilities. Being able to choose your shelving allows you to support the equipment you actually use day to day. Options include ball shelves, bumper plate shelves, flat shelves, hex dumbbell shelves, and round dumbbell shelves. You can select four shelves per bay to suit your setup.

Space Efficiency

Studios often need to do more with less. A compact footprint with vertical storage keeps equipment accessible without cluttering the floor, making the system ideal for high traffic training environments.

Build Quality and Durability

The system should be robust enough for daily use. A solid frame, high quality pulleys, and durable shelving ensure long term performance in busy commercial spaces.

Aesthetics and Finish

Storage is part of your gym’s visual identity. With 14 colour options available, you can customise the system to match your branding and create a cohesive, professional look.

Configuration options

Height Options

Choose between 2.2m and 2.4m depending on ceiling height and training requirements. Both options support full cable functionality while fitting a range of spaces.

Select the storage capacity that suits your facility:

  • 1 bay storage available in 1.5m or 1.8m widths

  • 2 bay storage available in 1.5m or 1.8m widths

Shelf Selection

Choose four shelves from the following options:

  • Ball shelf

  • Bumper shelf

  • Flat shelf

  • Hex dumbbell shelf

  • Round dumbbell shelf

This ensures your most used equipment is stored efficiently and safely.

Colour Customisation

With 14 colour choices, the system can be tailored to fit your brand or studio aesthetic, enhancing both function and appearance.

Choosing the right setup for your space

For smaller studios or personal training spaces, a single bay setup with carefully selected shelves keeps essentials organised without overwhelming the room. Larger studios or group training environments benefit from a two-bay configuration, offering increased storage while maintaining easy access to cable training.

If space efficiency, versatility, and clean design are priorities, the BLK BOX Cable Storage System delivers a streamlined solution that supports both training performance and professional organisation.
