Plate Loaded Shoulder Shrug Machine [Raptor Series]

Build Bigger Traps

Train Upper Back with Maximum Load

The Raptor Series Shrug Machine is designed for one purpose — to build thick, powerful trapezius muscles through a safe and effective plate-loaded shrug movement. Whether you're performing the exercise in a standing or seated position, this machine offers a fixed path and stable platform to overload the traps without strain on the lower back or grip.

Engineered for Olympic plates, the machine features angled handles, ergonomic shoulder pads (if seated), and a heavy-duty steel frame, delivering serious upper body power without compromise. It's perfect for commercial gyms, PT studios, or home gyms looking to target trap development without using free weights.
