Product Description
Nohrd SlimBeam Cable Machine is a compact wall mounted cable machine designed with style, elegance and exceptional function.
The butterfly – exercise on both sides
The Nohrd SlimBeam Cable Machine – it’s biggest advantage is the butterfly, enabling you to work your body both on one or both sides. It can be swivelled and set at any height. The cables are synthetically coated and run fluidly over the ball bearing wheels, providing an optimal training effect.
Rubberized weight plates – silent effect
Standard SlimBeam models feature 14 weight plates at 5kg, plus the base weight of (further) 5kg. Each oval-shape weight plate is individually rubberized with a black matt finish, fitting perfectly into the wood body encasement.
Space-saver
Measuring 215cm high and 40cm wide, the cable machine fits perfectly into all interiors. The SlimBeam is fixed at 10cm from your wall and protrudes a mere 20cm total into the room. Its base measures less than ¼ square meter.
A wide range of models to suit your taste
SlimBeam cable machines come in a variety of materials and colours.
Interactive Exercise App

Video explanation
Reduce risk of error with your virtual coach – each exercise is featured in detail in the video clips, eliminating mistakes, protecting your joints and guaranteeing maximal efficiency.
Ready-made Workouts
Jump in to your workout – the SlimBeam App provides users with ready-made workouts for all muscle groups. Developed in cooperation with sport scientists, these workouts are optimized for training success.
The cable machine’s range of motion is fundamental: Extension length of up to 4 meters (double) or 8 meters (single) guarantee maximal functional expansion.
Maximal Training – Easy to adjust for even more exercise effects.
The SlimBeam’s cable ratio can be altered by exchanging the cable, so that you can train at 3:1, 2:1 and 1:1. The maximum weight against your body of 12.5 kg (single extension) or 25 kg (double extension) is distributed over 15 weight plates, delivering an extremely precise and balanced weight gradation.
| Extension | 3:1 cable ratio in kg | 2:1 cable ratio in kg | 1:1 cable ratio in kg |
| Single Extension | 0,83 – 12,50 | 1,25 – 18,75 | 2,50 – 37,50 |
| Double Extension | 1,65 – 25,00 | 2,50 – 37,50 | 5,00 – 75,00 |

What Exactly Is The NOHrD SlimBeam?
The NOHrD SlimBeam is a wall mounted cable machine that delivers full-body strength training while protruding just 44 cm into the room.
Behind its slim timber body sits a 75 kg weight stack, made up of 14 x 5 kg plates plus a 5 kg top plate. The height-adjustable dual pulley system supports both unilateral and bilateral training, while the combination of wood and steel gives the machine the finish NOHrD is known for. Each SlimBeam is handcrafted in Germany and designed for both home and commercial environments.
Where wall fixing is not practical, an optional ceiling clamp secures the unit to a concrete ceiling or solid beam instead.
Who It’s For (And Who Should Probably Look Elsewhere)
The SlimBeam cable machine suits anyone wanting full-body cable training in a living space. However, dedicated max-effort powerlifters are better served by a loaded barbell.
It makes great sense if you’re a home-gym owner who cares about what their equipment looks like, people working with limited floor space and studios or physio environments that need versatile cable training without a bulky footprint. NOHrD itself rates the system for residential gyms, fitness studios and commercial settings.
If your main goal is moving the heaviest possible loads on squats, deadlifts and bench presses, a rack, barbell and plates remain the more appropriate setup.
Space Requirement
As mentioned, this NOHrD cable machine protrudes only 44 cm from the wall and stands 215 cm high by 44 cm wide, so it absolutely fits a room you actually live in.
The main unit sits 44 cm from the wall, and its base occupies less than a quarter of a square metre. That makes the SlimBeam cable machine particularly useful in apartments, spare rooms, offices and compact home gyms where a conventional functional trainer may dominate the space.
The standard SlimBeam needs to be secured to a suitable solid structure. Check your wall type and installation requirements before ordering.
What You Can Train On It
From the butterfly to rows, presses and full cable work, the SlimBeam covers the major movement patterns for a complete workout.
The adjustable butterfly pulley can move vertically and swivel, letting you change both the height and angle of resistance. That opens up exercises such as:
- Cable chest flyes
- Standing rows
- Chest presses
- Biceps curls
- Triceps extensions
- Cable rotations and core work
The cables extend up to 8 metres when used individually, giving you room to move beyond exercises performed directly beside the machine.
Understanding The SlimBeam’s Weight and Resistance
The 75 kg weight stack delivers smooth, continuous resistance suited to full-body functional training rather than maximal lifting.
Cable resistance feels different from lifting the same number printed on a weight plate. The SlimBeam uses a pulley ratio, with the standard 3:1 setup providing a maximum effective resistance of 12.5 kg on a single cable or 25 kg using both. Optional 2:1 and 1:1 cable configurations increase the effective resistance, with the 1:1 setup reaching up to 75 kg using both cables.
That makes it well suited to controlled strength work, functional movement, accessory exercises and rehabilitation-style training. Stronger lifters, however, may find the standard ratio light for certain movements.
Build, Materials and Why it Lasts
Handcrafted in Germany from high-quality wood and precision components, the SlimBeam is built as a commercial-grade training system rather than disposable home-gym equipment.
The rubberised weight plates reduce noise, while ball-bearing pulleys create a fluid cable action. It’s a low-maintenance machine suitable for commercial use, and it also has a 1-year warranty which is upgradeable to 2-year warranty if you register within the first year of purchase.
That build quality matters when comparing the NOHrD SlimBeam’s price with cheaper cable towers. The value is not simply in how much equipment you get, but buying something compact, serviceable and designed to remain part of the room for years.
Delivery and Lead Time
The SlimBeam is made to order, so you need to set delivery expectations early and confirm which accessories you need before you buy. The current Exagym lead time is one week.

FAQs
Is the NOHrD SlimBeam strong enough for a serious workout?
Yes. The SlimBeam delivers serious full-body cable training with a 75 kg stack and adjustable pulley ratios. It suits functional strength, accessory work and controlled resistance. For maximal squats, deadlifts or bench work, a loaded barbell remains the stronger choice.
How far does the SlimBeam stick out from the wall?
Only 44 cm! The SlimBeam stands 215 cm high and 44 cm wide, making it remarkably discreet for a cable machine. Allow comfortable training space in front, and make sure it can be securely fixed to a suitable wall structure.
Is it made to order, and how long is delivery?
Yes. SlimBeam units are made in Germany, so delivery timing can vary by finish and availability. Feel free to contact our team for the latest ETA and local delivery or installation options.
Do I need to buy accessories separately?
Not for the basics. The SlimBeam cable machine already includes a pull-up bar, accessory adapter and rope handles. For most buyers, that’s a great starter bundle. Add an ankle strap, lat bar, alternative cable ratio or bench only if your training needs it.
Can the SlimBeam be freestanding instead of wall-mounted?
Not completely freestanding. The standard SlimBeam fixes to a wall, while an optional ceiling clamp removes the need for wall mounting by securing it to a concrete ceiling or solid beam.
What exercises can you do on it?
Plenty! The SlimBeam supports presses, rows, flyes, curls, triceps work, raises, rotations and other functional cable movements. Its adjustable pulley lets you train from different heights and angles. Visit our SlimBeam exercises hub for more ideas and fresh workout inspiration.
What is the weight stack, and can I add more?
The SlimBeam uses 14 x 5 kg plates plus a 5 kg top plate, giving a 75 kg stack. It is not designed for adding extra plates; optional cable ratios instead change the effective resistance without increasing the physical stack.
