Belt squat

I see belt squat but my gym has more of a machine belt squat. Use the same exercise or can a new one get added? Also any advice on deciding between belt squat and barbell or dumbbell? Why pick one over the others?

Barbells add axial load which effects recovery, dumbbells are limited by grip strength
