When you need a treadmill just to stay physically active, and you see there’re so many options in the market. I agree expensive treadmills loaded with features are very good for maintaining your fitness but it doesn’t necessarily mean cheaply-priced treadmills can not fulfil your exercise needs. Cockatoo CTM 05 having a 14 km/h speed is one such treadmill which is indeed good for your morning jogs and runs.
As experienced treadmill reviewers (read our about us page), we have been analyzing that you often don’t get good speed in a treadmill priced around 18000-20000. But this running machine from Cockatoo matches the speed with some mid-budget treadmills like MaxPro PTM 405 (relatively costlier) and also has 3 levels of manual incline.
Cockatoo Treadmill CTM 05 is a fine option for you if you’re in search of affordable fitness gear that wouldn’t make a hole in your pocket. It has a lot of impressive features and is one of the best-selling treadmills in India. For simple daily fitness requirements, this treadmill is a great value for money.
We recommend reading this Cockatoo Treadmill review if you want to save your money for daily basic running goals.

Cockatoo CTM 05 Treadmill Review (Video)
We’re launching our YouTube Channel next month. So, we will upload videos with real pictures here soon. 🙂
Now, moving on to our written review.
Should I Trust Cockatoo Treadmill Brand & Service?
Cockatoo is an Australian brand. But, its service network is all over India and also distributes its products abroad. If you have to purchase fitness gear at affordable prices, check out Cockatoo and that’s their USP.
When you buy a treadmill or a product from a brand, you are advised to trust the brand first. And trust is formed based on their after-sales service.
That’s why our team went to check their stores. There were no particular brand stores but you can find their treadmills in fitness equipment showrooms and online of course.
Installation
So, we found out that like other treadmill brands you have to get in touch with cockatoo customer service and they will help you with the installation.
Cockatoo CTM 05 comes with free installation assistance so don’t hesitate to call them and they will be available for both types of installation guidance; offline & online.
First, Let me Know About Its Running Area. Is Cockatoo CTM 05 Safe on My Knees?
It has a thick running belt that offers protection from excessive shocks and prevents any pain with the help of a 43.3 X 15.3 Inches Cushioned Running Area.
To further extend the comfort, this treadmill also employs anti-skid technology via carefully designed textures which helps out the user to maintain its balance and not slip accidentally.
In addition to it, Cockatoo CTM 05 Steel 2 HP Peak Treadmill from the brand Cockatoo has a safety cord that can be attached to your clothing. In case of an accident or mishap, this safety cord also gets pulled out.
If the safety cord is pulled beyond its safe point, it kills all the operations of the treadmill.
Moreover, as mentioned earlier, it also has a textured pattern on the running belt to avoid accidents.
With 90 kg Max User Weight, Which Intensity Running Can I Do while the Motor Power is 2 HP Peak?
As I told above the treadmill can give you the max speed of 14 km/h which is very much sufficient for running. You can do both jogging and running.
The faster the speed, the more calories you burn!
Since it is supporting user weights not more than 90 kg, you can do up to above medium or even high-intensity workout with moto power 2 HP.
I hope you know that you could not run faster if motor power is less and your weight is more. If you need to understand these calculations in detail, you can read our treadmill buying guide.
But if you don’t have time, you can trust our calculations. 14 km/h speed in Cockatoo CTM 05 with 2 HP motor power can give you up to high intensity (not very high) workouts.
For very high-intensity workouts, we have other treadmills lists:
Cockatoo CTM 05 is Cheaply Priced, Can I Get Hill Like Experience with it?
We are talking about treadmill Inclination here. This treadmill does not offer the option of automatic incline so you can’t do a very intensive workout on it. It’s very obvious because this Cockatoo treadmill hasn’t been designed for heavy usage.
But here comes a twist! It offers the manual inclination of 3 levels. Just check our table above of similar treadmills. You usually don’t get to see the inclination feature (means any type of inclination) in this budget. This is thus one of the best features of Cockatoo CTM 05.
Now, answering your question, it can’t provide an exact hill experience but you can easily get a road-like experience here which is very good for faster calorie burn as well.
As you know inclination is important for some people who want to push their boundaries (1).
How Many Workout Programme Are There?
There are 12 different presets which help out beginners as well as people who are training for quite some time. They let you save time and modulate the treadmill settings to your liking.
Cockatoo CTM 05 also offers changeable modes which allow you to customize your workout settings to your liking.
Are There Heart Rate Sensors in It?
Sensors & monitor
Yes!
Cockatoo CTM 05 has a heart rate sensor that lets you keep a check on your pulse rate while you exercise. The display panel also shows time spent, speed, distance travelled, calories burned, modes you are in etc.
What about Maintenance & Lubrication?
Lubrication
This lightweight treadmill does not offer auto lubrication so you have to do it manually. Yes, the manual lubrication is there.
The lubrication inlets are provided at the front end of the treadmill and are very easy to locate and open.
Once opened you just have to refill the lubrication gel and they are good to go again.
Is Cockatoo CTM-05 Steel 2 hp Peak Foldable & Portable?
Cockatoo CTM 05 Steel 2 HP only weighs 36 kg so it is very light to operate. You can also fold and unfold it depending on your usage.
When folded, this lightweight treadmill shrinks into a compact size and can be stored even in small spaces.
There are 2 big wheels provided for easier transportation too.
Other Features?
- The connectivity option of AUX is provided on this treadmill and a 5-inch LED display shows all the relevant info clearly to the user.
- This treadmill has a bulky design and offers huge spaces for storing your stuff, cup holders and efficient grips on handles to grab while you exercise.
What is Cockatoo CTM 05 Price in India (& Warranty)?
This treadmill comes with:
- A warranty for a lifetime if we talk about the frame and,
- A very often seen warranty of three years for on other parts.
- You can buy this for Rs. around 17,000-18,000.
Pros & Cons: Cockatoo CTM 05
Pros
- It offers a decent motor (which is enough for your moderate morning workouts) with a decent running surface which can be a boon for some people who are budget constrained.
- Good running speed as compared to other similar treadmills in the market.
- This lightweight running machine also offers connectivity options like USB and AUX.
- It also gives you space for your coffee or your car keys etc.
Cons
- Cockatoo CTM 05 treadmill does not offer a hydraulic system for its folding function so it can be a tiresome chore for some people especially ladies, children and the elderly. But it’s very light in carrying.
- It does not perform well on durability also as the materials though are of solid quality but don’t seem to last very long.
Our Verdict on Cockatoo CTM 05
Its running board is small which can be a problem for some people who prefer exercising in slightly more open spaces.
This treadmill is not for overweight weight people as its weight capacity is also lower at just 90 kg. You would need a commercial-grade treadmill or a high-user weight treadmill whether you weigh more than 100 kg.
Its belt thickness is also low at just 1.4 mm, dampening the shocks but not very effectively. So, it’s not for people suffering from joint pain. For such people, there is another list: Best Treadmills with Shockers
But you can’t complain like this when you’re getting a lightweight full-size yet portable treadmill in the price range of manual treadmills!
Cockatoo CTM 05 Steel 2 HP Peak Treadmill does make up for it by the features it provides. You are getting a LED display that is very readable at every angle, and a lifetime warranty on the frame.
