The
TITAN wall mounted pulley tower is a great solution for any home gym that wants a pulley, but is strapped for space. The only prerequisite is that you are allowed to drill into the walls and ideally it is one of the outdoor / carrying walls. Plaster walls might not be ideal to install this so check your setup before getting to business. This
pulley tower is

Pros of the TITAN wall mounted pulley tower
-
Price
-
Versatility
-
Space requirements
The price of this
pulley system is almost impossible to beat. You still get an industrial grade machine for the price of a consumer product. IT can be used for almost any pulley exercise you might wanted to do on a bigger station without the disadvantage of the lack of stability and the need for more space. Easy solution for a great gym addition.
Cons of the TITAN wall mounted pulley tower
-
Wall installation
-
Plate loaded
The only real problem with this is that the tools you need to drill into the wall will probably cost more to rent or buy than the
pulley station itself. It also depends on whether you are actual allowed to drill into the walls of the house or apartment you are living in.
You will also need to factor in the cost of
plates,if you do not already have some. 230lbs can be gotten from TITAN for about $400.
Alternatives to the Titan wall mounted pulley tower

Rogue Jammer bar
-
Rogue lat pull
The
TITAN lat tower includes a seat and a weight stack for up to 300lbs to do lat pulls and rows. The design is a clone of the Rogue lat pull which outperforms the
TITAN lat tower in the finish and finer details. Apart from that it is the same machine for a considerably lower cost.
If you only want a machine to perform rows, the
TITAN plate loaded seated row is a good option with a small footprint that does not need to be installed on the wall. It comes including the seat and setup to row away once it is build. The only downside is that it is a one trick pony and not very versatile compared to the
wall mounted pulley.
The Rogue Jammer bar is a high quality pull up bar from Rogue that you can install over a door frame. I highly recommend to install it at the kitchen door and do pull ups whenever you go in or come out of the kitchen. An easy approach to fitness, relatively cheap and you can not do anything wring with.
The Rogue lat pull machine is the current gold standard in the market for lat pull machines. This thing is overbuilt in every way and Rogue paid close attention to the finer details in the finish. This also means that this beast comes in at a high price of around $2000. This is only an option if money is if little concern to you or you running a very professional and highly successful commercial gym.
Conclusion for the Titan wall mounted pulley tower
The
TITAN wall mounted pulley tower is one of the best options to get a pulley system into your home gym. Especially if you are good with tools and know how to install something into a solid wall. If you are not a handyman you can still get someone to install it for you and not be sad, as it was so cheap to buy this thing.
