LOAD MORE. PULL HEAVIER. OUTGROW THE STACK.
The KingPin is GymPin’s extra-long 10mm weight stack extender, built to let serious lifters add Olympic plates to compatible pin-loaded machines when the standard stack has tapped out.
EXTEND YOUR CABLE MACHINE WITH THE KINGPIN
Built for bigger loads on compatible 10mm pin-loaded machines
The KingPin is the extra-long version of our Original 2" GymPin, designed for lifters who need more loading room, more progression, and more headroom when the built-in weight stack is no longer enough.
Simply insert the 10mm pin into a compatible weight stack, load 2" Olympic plates onto the large end, and keep pushing your cable work beyond the machine’s standard limit.
With a longer 200mm loading sleeve, The KingPin gives you extra capacity for heavier rows, pulldowns, presses, curls, triceps work, belt squat setups and serious progressive overload.
Precision-manufactured in the UK using high-quality materials, The KingPin is built for bodybuilders, powerlifters, strength athletes, PT studios and commercial gyms that need a simple way to add serious resistance to compatible machines.

2
INSERT INTO THE STACK
Slide The KingPin into the weight stack just like a standard selector pin
3
LOAD OLYMPIC PLATES
Add 2" Olympic plates to the extended sleeve and keep progressing beyond the stack.
Product Information
The KingPin is designed for lifters who want to add serious extra resistance to compatible selectorised cable machines when the standard weight stack is no longer enough.
Instead of being limited by the built-in stack, The KingPin allows you to load 2" Olympic weight plates directly onto the extended sleeve, giving you more room to progress on heavy cable movements.
With its longer loading sleeve and 10mm small-end diameter, The KingPin is built for compatible machines that use a 10mm selector pin.
Simply check your machine’s pin size, insert The KingPin into the weight stack, load Olympic plates onto the large end, and train beyond the standard stack.
The KingPin is for lifters who have outgrown the standard weight stack and need more loading capacity from their cable machines.
It is ideal for bodybuilders, powerlifters, strength athletes, PTs, serious home gym owners and commercial gyms that need a simple way to add heavier resistance.
Use it for movements such as heavy rows, lat pulldowns, cable presses, triceps work, curls, glute work and other cable exercises where the machine’s built-in stack is no longer enough.
The KingPin is best suited to users who already understand their machine setup and need a stronger, longer 10mm loading solution.
GymPin created The KingPin for lifters who needed more than the Original 2" GymPin could offer.
Some athletes do not just need to add plates. They need more plate-loading space, more headroom, and a product built specifically for heavier progression.
The KingPin keeps the same simple idea as the Original GymPin, but gives you an extended loading sleeve for bigger jumps, heavier work and more demanding training sessions.
It is a straightforward answer to a common problem: the stack runs out before the lifter does.
The KingPin is a 10mm product only.
Before ordering, check that your cable machine uses a compatible 10mm selector pin. The KingPin is not suitable for 8mm selector pin holes.
The large end is designed for 2" Olympic weight plates. It is not designed for standard 1" plates.
Compatibility can vary between machine brands and models, so always check your machine’s selector pin diameter, available clearance, and weight stack design before use.
The KingPin should slide cleanly into the stack without forcing. If it does not fit correctly, do not use it.
Always check that The KingPin is fully inserted into the weight stack before loading plates.
Only use The KingPin with compatible machines that accept a 10mm selector pin. Do not force it into a machine that is not designed for it.
Load Olympic plates evenly and sensibly. Do not exceed the safe working limits of your machine, cable, pulley system or weight stack.
Make sure the added plates have enough clearance throughout the full movement. Stop immediately if plates, cables, guards or machine parts interfere with the exercise.
Inspect The KingPin and your machine before use. Do not use damaged equipment.
The KingPin adds extra resistance to your machine, but it does not increase the machine’s own safety rating. Train with control and use good judgement.

KingPin FAQ
Yes. Always make sure The KingPin is fully inserted into the weight stack before loading plates.
Only use it with compatible machines that accept a 10mm selector pin. Do not force it into an unsuitable machine.
Load plates evenly and sensibly. Make sure the plates have enough clearance and do not hit the frame, guards, cables or other parts of the machine during the movement.
We recommend a 60kg max load and strongly advise that you do not slam the stack. Controlled reps protect your machine, your cable system, your plates and The KingPin itself.
Inspect The KingPin and your machine before use. Do not use damaged equipment.
The KingPin is available in 10mm only.
Unlike the Original 2" GymPin, which is available in 8mm and 10mm options, The KingPin is our maxed-out GymPin. It is built for compatible machines that use a 10mm selector pin and is designed for heavier loading, extra sleeve length and serious progression.
We do not make an 8mm KingPin because the longer loading design creates greater leverage. In simple terms, an 8mm version would not offer the same level of stability for the type of use The KingPin is designed for.
The KingPin is designed as our biggest and strongest GymPin option, so it is made for compatible 10mm cable machines only.
Because The KingPin has a longer loading sleeve and is intended for heavier use, the physics matters. A smaller 8mm pin would have less stability under this type of extended loading, so we do not offer an 8mm version.
If your machine uses an 8mm selector pin, choose the Original 2" GymPin in 8mm instead.
Yes. The KingPin is suitable for serious home gyms, PT studios and commercial gym environments, provided the machine is compatible with a 10mm selector pin.
It is designed for lifters who have outgrown the standard weight stack and need a simple way to add 2" Olympic plates to compatible selectorised cable machines.
The KingPin lets you add extra weight to compatible selectorised cable machines when the built-in weight stack is no longer enough.
Insert The KingPin into a compatible 10mm weight stack, load 2" Olympic plates onto the extended sleeve, and keep progressing on heavy cable rows, pulldowns, presses, curls, triceps work and other cable movements.
The KingPin is designed to fit compatible machines that use a 10mm selector pin.
Before ordering, check your existing machine pin diameter, weight stack design and available clearance. The KingPin should slide into the stack cleanly without being forced.
If your machine uses an 8mm selector pin, The KingPin will not be suitable. You will need the Original 2" GymPin in 8mm instead.
The KingPin is designed for 2" Olympic weight plates.
It is not designed for standard 1" plates. Always make sure the plates sit securely on the loading sleeve and have enough clearance throughout the full movement.
The KingPin is precision-manufactured from high-quality metal components and built for serious loading.
It is designed to be strong, stable and reliable when used correctly with compatible 10mm selectorised cable machines.
No. The KingPin is designed to be used without modifying your machine.
It works by replacing the standard selector pin in a compatible 10mm weight stack. Insert it into the stack, add Olympic plates to the sleeve, and train with added resistance.
Never drill, alter or force your machine to make The KingPin fit.
We state a 60kg recommended max load for The KingPin.
We know some users have loaded more, but our guidance is deliberately sensible because every machine, cable, pulley and weight stack setup is different.
The KingPin may be strong, but it does not increase the safety rating of your machine.
