VERVE Tori Cable Attachment: Add Cables to Any Power Rack

Last updated: April 2026 — Everything you need to know about the VERVE Tori Cable Attachment, including compatibility, specs, and whether it makes more sense than buying a standalone functional trainer.

TL;DR: The VERVE Tori Cable Attachment ($2,999) converts any VERVE rack or rig into a full functional trainer by adding dual 150kg weight stacks (75kg working per side at 2:1 ratio). If you already own a VERVE rack and want cable capability without buying an entirely new unit, this is the most cost-effective upgrade path available. Same stacks, same cable system, same quality as the standalone Tori — just bolted onto your existing rack.

The Problem the Tori Cable Attachment Solves

You already own a VERVE power rack. It handles squats, bench, overhead press, and everything else a barbell touches. But you want cables — tricep pushdowns, face pulls, cable flyes, lat pulldowns, low rows. The standard options are: buy a separate cable machine (more floor space, more money), or replace your entire rack with a Tori Functional Trainer Rack (expensive, wasteful).

The Tori Cable Attachment is the third option. It bolts onto your existing VERVE rack and adds dual adjustable-height cable stacks. Same rack, same footprint, now with cables.

Compatibility: Which Racks Does It Work With?

The Tori Cable Attachment works with every VERVE rack and rig, because they all share the same 75x75mm upright system. This includes:

VERVE Rack Price Compatible? Total Cost (Rack + Attachment)
Zen Power Rack $1,599 Yes $4,598
Satori Power Rack $1,099 Yes $4,098
Commercial Half Rack $1,399 Yes $4,398
Wall Mounted Folding Squat Rack $899 Yes $3,898
VERVE Rig Systems (all configurations) From $814 Yes Varies

The key takeaway: a Zen Power Rack ($1,599) plus a Tori Cable Attachment ($2,999) gives you $4,598 for a full rack-and-cable setup with 75x75x3mm steel, all rack accessories included, and dual 150kg stacks. That is $651 less than the standalone Tori Functional Trainer Rack ($5,249), although the standalone Tori is a purpose-built integrated unit.

The Cost Argument: Attachment vs Standalone vs Separate Machines

Setup Total Cost Notes
Existing VERVE rack + Tori Cable Attachment $2,999 (attachment only) Best value if you already own a VERVE rack
Zen Rack + Tori Cable Attachment $4,598 Full setup from scratch, staged-purchase friendly
Tori Functional Trainer Rack (standalone) $5,249 Integrated unit, purpose-built, slightly more refined
Separate power rack + separate cable machine $3,000-$6,000+ Double the floor space, two separate units

Installation and Practical Considerations

Space Requirements

The cable attachment adds depth behind the rack to accommodate the weight stacks. You will need clear space behind your rack for the stacks and cable towers. Measure your available space carefully — the stacks need room for the cables to travel freely.

Assembly

The attachment bolts onto your existing rack uprights. This is a two-person job — the weight stacks are heavy, and alignment needs to be precise. Budget a couple of hours for a careful installation.

Structural Considerations

The attachment uses the same spring-loaded cable height adjustment pins as the standalone Tori. Cable height changes are quick and tool-free, which matters when you are programming supersets between high and low cable positions.

Who Should Buy the Tori Cable Attachment?

Existing VERVE Rack Owners

This is the obvious use case. You have a Zen, Satori, Commercial Half Rack, or rig, and you want cables. The attachment adds full functional trainer capability without replacing your rack or buying a separate machine. At $2,999, it is significantly cheaper than a standalone functional trainer from any brand.

Staged-Purchase Buyers

Start with a Zen Power Rack now ($1,599, all accessories included). Train with free weights. When budget allows, add the Tori Cable Attachment ($2,999). You end up with the same dual-cable capability as the standalone Tori, purchased across two separate investments. This is a smart upgrade path.

Commercial Gym Operators

If you have VERVE rigs or racks already installed, the cable attachment adds cable training stations without new floor space. Particularly valuable for CrossFit boxes that want cable accessories but already have rigs installed.

When the Standalone Tori Makes More Sense

If you are buying from scratch and want the cleanest, most integrated setup, the standalone Tori Functional Trainer Rack ($5,249) is purpose-built as a single unit. The integration is tighter, the design is optimised for the combined function, and assembly is a one-time job. The price difference versus a Zen + Attachment combo is $651 — worth it for many buyers who want the polished, all-in-one experience.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does the Tori Cable Attachment work with non-VERVE racks?
No. The attachment is designed for VERVE's 75x75mm upright system and may not be compatible with racks from other brands, even if they share similar upright dimensions. Hole spacing, mounting points, and structural tolerances differ between manufacturers.
Q: Are the cable stacks the same as the standalone Tori?
Yes. Dual 150kg weight stacks with a 2:1 pulley ratio, delivering 75kg of working resistance per side. Same stacks, same cable system, same spring-loaded height adjustment pins.
Q: Can I still use all my rack attachments with the cable attachment installed?
Yes. The Tori Cable Attachment does not interfere with J-hooks, safety straps, dip handles, lever arms, or other attachments that mount to the uprights. You retain full rack functionality alongside cable functionality.
Q: How much extra space do I need behind my rack?
You need sufficient clearance behind the rack for the weight stack towers and cable travel. Exact depth requirements depend on your specific rack configuration. Contact VERVE directly for precise measurements based on your setup.
Q: What warranty does the cable attachment carry?
The same warranty as all VERVE cable machines: 5 years on rack welding, adjustable dish, and weight stacks; 1 year on bearings, pulleys, guide rods, belt, linear bearing, bush, and pull pin; 6 months on wire rope, end caps, sleeves, pads, and accessories. Both home and commercial use.
Q: Is the Tori Cable Attachment or the Ozeki Rack a better cable solution?
They serve different needs. The Tori Cable Attachment provides fully adjustable-height dual cables (75kg working per side) — maximum exercise variety. The Ozeki Rack ($5,699) has a built-in lat pulldown and low row with dual 105kg stacks combining for 210kg at a 2:1 ratio — better if your primary cable needs are pulling movements. The Tori Cable Attachment also requires an existing rack; the Ozeki is a complete standalone unit.
