Portanza 818 Plate-Loaded Row Machine

Sized for a coach who tests kit before recommending it, Portanza 818 takes a 150 cm user and a 200 cm user without either of them fighting the geometry.

Powder-Coated Steel on a 50 mm box section. Guide rods are hard-chromed and run in self-lubricating bushings, so the stack drops quietly and stays quiet.

Upholstery is a single wipe-clean panel, held by four bolts. When it eventually splits, it is a spare part rather than a new machine. Nothing about it is glued shut, so a worn bushing stays a ten-minute job.
