Lateral Raise Machines
Want to develop your shoulders? A good lateral raise machine can help you target by isolating and developing your shoulder muscles, particularly the medial deltoids. But here’s the real advantage: it allows you to lift with proper form and controlled resistance without straining the neck or lower back. Whether for a commercial gym or a home gym, we have a range of products and brands available.
Why not get focused shoulder training, along with the safety, stability and ease of a single lateral raise machine - one compact piece in either a selectorised or plate loaded format.
The Benefits of a Lateral Raise Machine?
One of the biggest benefits of a lateral raises machine is how precisely it targets the shoulders, specifically the side delts, which can be hard to isolate with free weights alone, as well as the increased risk of using poor form. It’s perfect for anyone looking to build shoulder size, improve posture, and enhance overall upper body aesthetics.
The controlled movement also removes some strain from your lower back and stabiliser muscles. This alone makes it more accessible for beginners or those training through injuries. A lateral raise is usually compact, easy to use, and ideal for hypertrophy training. It fits perfectly into any commercial gym, PT studio, or home gym setup focused on strength and muscle development.
Why Buy One?
When choosing a dedicated lateral raise machine look for adjustable seat height and arm pads in order to adjust to your exact height and width. A smooth, natural movement pattern is key for comfort and effective training. Weight stack machines with pin selection are convenient for quick resistance changes, while plate-loaded models may offer higher maximum loads.
Check for high-quality padding, solid frame construction, and compact footprint if space is a concern. Some models also include rotating handles or adjustable arm levers to further customise the range of motion.
