Ironman IFT 4000 Inversion Table Review

How Safe Is IFT 4000?

Ironman IFT 4000 Infrared inversion table was built on a tubular frame, extremely resistant as it is made from a heavy, powder-coated steel. This makes the table durable and resistant to scratches over time. When it is assembled it becomes a fairly big device, having a 27 x 50 inches footprint. Stability is increased by the rubber stabilizers which prevents it to slip on the floor even if you are heavier. On top of that, the table was accredited with ELT mark meaning that from the safety point of view it has been tested in detail.

Returning to the upright position is easier on this model as it has extra-long handles which are covered with vinyl thus preventing your hands from slipping.

How Comfortable Is It?

The backrest is 2.5 inches thick, making it extremely comfortable and soothing. The backrest is padded with ribbed foam. As this model combines heating and inversion therapies, it is equipped with a LED controller which has a timer incorporated and it also displays the temperature being very easy and intuitive to use.

The LED controller needs to be plugged in if you want it to work, so make sure to assemble your inversion table close to a power source. In order to control the temperature according to your needs, it also includes a remote control with batteries. On top of that, on the handles you can find some small pockets which can be used to put your remote control or add some personal items which you want to use while inverting.

Is It Comfortable and Safe For My Ankles?

Ironman IFT 4000 was designed with a unique ankle locking system equipped with a ratchet that enables you to release or lock your ankles without bending over. The ankle holders are covered with a molded rubber and were designed in an ergonomic way so as to make it possible to adjust the ankle locking system and be at the same time comfortable during your inversion session.
This innovative system for ankles that Ironman has invented is the best right now on the market. However, even though the system is very good, it is possible that very sensitive people would feel uncomfortable while using it, but everything depends on each individuals’ anatomy and level of sensitivity.

Capacity and Storage Dimensions

Ironman IFT 4000 inversion table is one of the few on the market that can support heavier people, supporting persons weighing maximum 350 pounds. Its height is adjustable starting from 4 feet and 9 inches and can be extended for persons who are 6 feet and 6 inches high. The table weighs in total 75 pounds and there is no surprise that it is that heavy as its structure is very solid in order to support 350 pounds.
Once the table is assembled its dimensions are 26 inches wide and 65 inches tall, therefore it is advisable to assemble it in a room where there is enough space to do your inverting session. As far as storage is concerned, it can easily fold by simply pushing the back and front legs together. However, because it is fairly heavy, it cannot just be leaned on a wall because it will fall. On the other hand, when the table is folded its dimensions are 80 inches long and 17 inches deep. As such, storing it under the bed is a bit difficult unless you have a very high bed that has a lot of space underneath.
