1. Tori Cable Attachment — $2,999
The Tori Cable Attachment is the most cost-effective way to add functional trainer capability to your gym. It converts any existing VERVE rack or rig into a full functional trainer with dual 150kg weight stacks (75kg working per side at 2:1 ratio).
Choose this if: You already own a VERVE Zen, Satori, Commercial Half Rack, or custom rig and want to add cables without buying a completely new rack. You save thousands compared to buying a standalone Tori rack and you keep the rack you already know and love.
2. Tori Wall Mounted Functional Trainer — $3,299
The Tori Wall Mounted is a single-cable unit that mounts directly to the wall. No floor footprint from a rack, no uprights taking up space. One adjustable cable column with a compact wall-mounted design.
Choose this if: You need cable functionality but do not have room for a full rack. Ideal for PT studios, hotel gyms, or home gyms where a wall-mounted solution keeps the floor clear for other equipment or training.
3. Tori Functional Trainer Rack Short — $5,099
The Tori Short is identical to the standard Tori Rack in every way except height: 1950mm tall instead of 2316mm. Same dual 150kg stacks, same 75x75x3mm steel, same adjustable cable heights, same attachment compatibility.
Choose this if: Your ceiling is under 2.3m. Many Australian garages, basement gyms, and older houses have ceilings between 2.0m and 2.3m. The Tori Short is specifically designed for these spaces.
4. Tori Functional Trainer Rack — $5,549
The Tori Rack is the flagship. A full power rack and a full functional trainer in one unit. 75x75x3mm steel, dual 150kg weight stacks (75kg working per side at 2:1 ratio), spring-loaded cable height adjustment pins, and complete compatibility with every VERVE rack attachment.
Included: sandwich J-hooks, multi-grip pull-up bar, 1080mm logo crossbeam, cable handles, weight stack covers.
Choose this if: You want the single most versatile piece of equipment possible. One unit gives you squats, bench press, pull-ups, cable flyes, rows, pushdowns, face pulls, and hundreds of other cable exercises. The Core Training Home Gym Bundle ($7,657, was $7,258) pairs the Tori with a Commercial FID Bench V2, Elite 20kg Barbell, Colour Bumper Plates, and Magnetic Collars for a complete premium setup.
5. Ozeki Rack — $5,699
The Ozeki is a full power rack with built-in lat pulldown and low row. Instead of adjustable cable heights, the Ozeki has fixed cable paths optimised for these two movements -- and both 105kg stacks combine for 210kg of resistance at a 2:1 ratio.
Additional features: five-position pull-up bar and leg roller attachment for stabilised heavy pulldowns.
Choose this if: Your primary cable needs are lat pulldowns and seated rows, and you want the heaviest available resistance on those movements. The Ozeki's combined stack system delivers more pulling force on lat/row than the Tori can achieve on a single movement. If you need full adjustable cable versatility, the Tori is better. If you want dedicated heavy pulling, the Ozeki is the one.
Weight Stack Deep Dive
| Model | Stack Size | Pulley Ratio | Working Resistance per Side | Max Single Movement |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tori Rack / Short / Attachment | Dual 150kg | 2:1 | 75kg per side | 75kg (single cable) |
| Ozeki Rack | Dual 105kg | 2:1 | 105kg combined on lat/row | 105kg (both stacks combined on lat pulldown/low row) |
Important note: when comparing cable machines, always check whether the listed weight is the stack weight or the working weight at the handle. A 150kg stack with a 2:1 ratio delivers 75kg of actual resistance -- not 150kg.
Warranty — All Cable Products
| Component | Home | Commercial |
|---|---|---|
| Rack welding, adjustable dish, weight stacks | 5 Years | 5 Years |
| Bearing, pulley, guide rod | 1 Year | 1 Year |
| Belt, linear bearing, bush, pull pin | 1 Year | 1 Year |
| Steel wire rope, end cap, sliding sleeve, cushion/pad, foam, accessories | 6 Months | 6 Months |
