Short answer
MIKOLO's G3 is a wall-mounted, plate-loaded pulley tower that switches between 1:1 and 2:1. MIKOLO lists a 300 lb maximum weight recommendation for the machine, separate from the cable's 400 lb max load and 2,000 lb tensile strength, and says it must go into wood studs or concrete, not drywall alone.

Watch out for
- Quote the 300 lb machine recommendation for the G3. The 400 lb and 2,000 lb figures are for the cable, not the machine.
- Drywall alone will not do, per MIKOLO; follow MIKOLO's manual for the mount.
- MIKOLO names gym-mikolo.com and authorized platforms such as Amazon and Walmart as its sellers, says it has not authorized other distributors or resellers, and flags an AliExpress listing as fake. Treat a MIKOLO offer on AliExpress as unauthorized.

MIKOLO names Amazon among its authorized platforms. Plan a wood-stud or concrete mount; drywall alone will not do.
MIKOLO also sells an aluminum pulley set whose listing gives a 90 mm (3.54 in) wheel and 18-, 21- and 42-piece sets, with only the 42-piece set labeled HORUS compatible. Not every wheel in the sets is 90 mm (58 mm wheels also appear), and the listing conflicts on set sizes and warranty.
Questions
What is the MIKOLO G3's weight limit?
MIKOLO lists a 300 lb maximum weight recommendation for the G3. The 400 lb max load and 2,000 lb tensile strength on the page are for the cable, so do not quote them as the machine's rating.[1]
Where does MIKOLO say it sells the G3?
MIKOLO says its official sites are gym-mikolo.com and www.gym-mikolo.com and that it sells through authorized platforms such as Amazon and Walmart. It flags an AliExpress listing as fake, so treat any MIKOLO offer there as unauthorized.[2]
Can the MIKOLO G3 go on drywall?
No. MIKOLO says to mount it into wood studs or concrete, not drywall alone.[1]
