Key Features and Specifications
Rapid Repositioning: Designed for "quick-change" adjustments along the upright, making it ideal for supersets and multiple users.
Heavy-Duty Construction: Laser-cut from 1/4" American steel with a premium glossy black powdercoat finish.
Rack Compatibility: Available in versions to fit 3x3” (Monster/Monster Lite) and 2x3” (Infinity) uprights with either 1” or 5/8” holes.
Protective Design: Includes integrated plastic liners and shims to prevent metal-on-metal contact and preserve the finish of your rack's uprights.
Compact Profile: Minimalist design ensures the bracket doesn't interfere with other rack attachments or bar travel.
Made in the USA: Handcrafted with high-tolerance steel manufacturing in the United States.
Performance Benefits
Training Efficiency: Reduces the "down-time" between exercises by allowing the ANCORE unit to be moved from a low row position to a high pulldown position in seconds.
Secure Attachment: Provides a much more stable and consistent anchor point compared to strap-based or suction mounts, ensuring consistent resistance throughout the movement.
Customizable Height: Because it utilizes the existing holes in your rack, you can fine-tune the cable height to your exact biomechanical needs.
Space Saving: Converts any standard rack upright into a functional cable machine without requiring additional floor space.
Maintenance and Care
Hitch Pin Requirement: This bracket requires a compatible hitch pin (sold separately) to secure it to the rack. Ensure the pin is fully seated and locked before applying resistance.
Cleaning: Wipe the glossy powdercoat finish with a microfiber cloth and mild cleaner to remove sweat and gym dust. Avoid abrasive pads that could scratch the finish.
Shim Inspection: Periodically check the protective shims and liners for wear. Replacing worn liners will ensure the bracket continues to fit snugly and protect the rack's paint.
Hardware Check: Verify that the mounting bolts connecting the ANCORE unit to the Darko bracket remain tight, as the vibration from cable movements can occasionally loosen hardware over time.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does this work with the newer ANCORE X system? No. This bracket is specifically designed for the ANCORE and ANCORE Pro units.
Q: Does the bracket come with the mounting pin? No. The bracket requires a 1" or 5/8" hitch pin (depending on your rack type) which must be purchased separately.
Q: Will this scratch my rack? The QuickMount Bracket includes plastic liners and shims specifically designed to prevent the steel bracket from making direct contact with your rack's powdercoat.
Q: Can I mount two ANCORE units to one bracket? The bracket is designed to hold a single ANCORE unit. For dual-cable setups, two brackets are required.
