A plate loaded grip machine in an EU country?

[aatu]

Hello everyone

First of all, I must explain that I live in Finland (which is in Europe if someone didn't know ).

I would like to purchase myself a plate loaded grip machine to help me train with the grippers.

Now, I wanted to ask if any of you fine folks knew of some weightlifting store in an European Union country

that sells these machines I'd be really happy.

I'd order from Ironmind or PDA, but in addition to some pretty hefty shipping costs, I'd have to pay a lot of extra money to get the item from customs.....

Can anyone help me?

THanks for your time

aatu,

       I drew a basic design for a plate loaded Gripper,

and took it to a local Steel Fabricators near where i

live.And he knocked it up for 30 English pounds,

probably a third of what i would have paid from a shop.

It's 20" high by 16" wide and made from 2" box steel,

and it does the job,make sure your design is simple and  explains just how the apparatus works.I'm sure you'll find one near where you live,that will do it for

you.

All the best.

I believe there is a place in the UK called Scorpian Equipment or Scorpion Gym Equipment.  They sold a nice grip machine called the "Grip Power Rack".  It is the finest grip machine I have ever seen.  The owner died a few years ago and his wife was to take over.  I do not know if they are still in business.
