Squat question

Hi all,

I use a smith machine at my gym that I strongly believe is this one:

What I want to know about it, if anyone knows offhand, is whether thwere is
a weight associated with the bar assembly during lifts. I.e. if I place a 45
lb plate on each end for a lift, am I lifting only 90 lbs., or is it made in
such a way as to make it approximate the weight of a bar also? I've taken to
using this lately, since I have no partner, and thus, no spotter at the the
gym with me. Any help here would be greatly appreciated!
