The Bulletproof Trolley Perch is a premium docking station for your VTS, VTS Lite, or compatible trolley systems—designed for both in-use resting and long-term storage. Unlike the basic rubber bump stop included with the standard VTS, the Trolley Perch distributes weight more evenly across every contact point, reducing wear on your rack and extending the life of your equipment.
It's available in two configurations: a solid fixed perch for controlled training, or a dual-function upgrade that adds a spring-based shock absorption system—bringing commercial Smith machine-level impact protection to your home or garage setup.
Two Smart Options
Choose the standard perch for simple, controlled training, or upgrade to the shock absorber conversion for dual-mode protection and commercial-level impact dampening.
Flip & Adapt
The upgrade version switches between flat perch mode and spring-loaded shock absorber mode—one product, two personalities, zero hassle.
Even Weight Distribution
Spreads load across every contact point at the base, reducing localized stress on your rack compared to a basic hitch pin bump stop.
Commercial Feel at Home
Inspired by the spring-loaded safety systems on commercial Smith machines—controlled landings, quieter operation, professional-grade reliability.
Protect your equipment as seriously as you invest in it—extend the life of your entire system.
- Dual-Function Design: Flip between flat perch mode for a firm, no-give landing or spring-loaded shock absorber mode for cushioned, controlled contact—two uses in one product.
- Four-Spring Absorption System: The shock absorber upgrade uses four distributed springs instead of a single oversized one, evenly absorbing impact and protecting both your equipment and rack from damage.
- Rubberized Contact Platforms: 1-inch thick rubber buffer blocks cushion impact and reduce metal-on-metal stress during hard or unexpected landings.
- Even Weight Distribution: Spreads load across the full base contact area, reducing localized wear on your rack compared to a standard hitch pin bump stop.
- Slides Over 3×3 Uprights: Mounts directly onto 3×3 uprights and secures with a rear thumb nut—no tools required.
- Dual Pin Compatibility: Works with both 1-inch and 5/8-inch pins, adapting to multiple equipment configurations.
- Compact Footprint: The shock absorber upgrade adds only the height of the bumper blocks and a floating secondary platform—same base footprint as the standard perch.
The Trolley Perch slides directly over 3×3 uprights and locks in place with a rear thumb nut—no tools needed. If you've selected the shock absorber upgrade, the shock absorber assembly nests right onto the perch after it's mounted.
Step 1 — Mount the Perch
Slide the trolley perch over your 3×3 upright and secure it with the rear thumb nut.
Step 2 — Add the Shock Absorber (if selected)
Nest the shock absorber assembly directly onto the mounted perch. No additional hardware required.
Step 3 — Choose Your Mode
Perch side up for a firm, solid landing. Spring side up for cushioned, shock-absorbing contact.
Step 4 — Switch Anytime
To change modes, simply flip the entire assembly. No tools, no swap-outs—done.
Fits 3×3 uprights only. Verify your upright dimensions before mounting.
Standard Trolley Perch
- Best for: Controlled training where weight is set down intentionally every set

- Protection: Four distributed springs absorb impact evenly, protecting your rack, trolley, and attachments
- Who should choose it: Lifters who want commercial-grade equipment protection, train at intensity, or want the flexibility of both modes without buying two separate products

- Works with: VTS, VTS Lite, and compatible 3×3 trolley systems

The shock absorber upgrade shares the same base footprint as the standard perch—the added height comes only from the rubber buffer blocks and floating secondary platform. Both versions mount with the same tool-free thumb nut system.
What's the difference between the standard perch and the shock absorber upgrade?
The standard trolley perch is a solid, fixed resting and storage platform that distributes weight evenly across the base—an upgrade over a basic hitch pin bump stop. The shock absorber upgrade adds a four-spring dampening system with 1-inch rubber buffer blocks that nests onto the perch, giving you a second mode: flip the assembly spring-side up for cushioned, commercial-style impact absorption. Same base footprint, two completely different feels.
Will this fit my rack and trolley system?
The Trolley Perch is designed for 3×3 uprights only and is compatible with VTS, VTS Lite, and any compatible 3×3 trolley system. It supports both 1-inch and 5/8-inch pins. Verify your upright dimensions are 3×3 before purchasing.
Do I need to buy two if I have a pair of uprights?
Yes. This product is sold as a single unit. If your setup has two uprights and you want coverage on both sides, add quantity 2 to your cart. The same applies if you select the shock absorber upgrade.
How does installation work?
Slide the perch over your 3×3 upright and secure it with the rear thumb nut—no tools needed. If you've selected the shock absorber upgrade, nest the shock absorber assembly onto the mounted perch, then choose which side faces up: perch side for a firm landing, spring side for shock absorption. To switch modes, flip the whole assembly. That's it.
Why would I need shock absorption if I control my sets?
Even with disciplined form, fatigue and intensity can result in harder landings than planned. The shock absorber uses four distributed springs—rather than a single large one—to absorb impact evenly, protecting your rack, trolley, and attachments. It also makes landings quieter and reduces metal-on-metal stress over time, extending the life of your entire setup.
Does the shock absorber add much height or bulk?
The base footprint stays identical to the standard perch. The only added height comes from the 1-inch rubber buffer blocks and the floating secondary platform that surrounds the base. No extra clearance or rack spacing adjustments are needed.
