VTS Lite Rack Attachment - Pair

Introducing the VTS Lite

Transform your squat rack into a versatile workout powerhouse with our VTS (Versa Trolley System) Lite—a user-friendly solution that seamlessly converts your squat rack into a Smith machine using your own barbell. Elevate your training further by incorporating our high/low pulley system, turning your rack into a functional trainer.
The key distinction between the VTS and VTS Lite lies in their design. The VTS, our premium model, features rollers on all four sides of the rack upright, offering unparalleled versatility for a wide range of movements with various attachments. On the other hand, the VTS Lite, with rollers on two sides of the upright, is optimized for Smith machine functionality and basic functional training.

Each VTS Lite features(4) hourglass shaped UHMW rollers. Each roller contains bearings which allow for smooth travel up and down your rack.

Includes:
Pair of VTS Lite trolleys
Pair of latch hooks. Choose between one pair of front hole hooks or hitch pin hooks when placing the order.
Pair of hook tips
New upgraded latches

*VTS Lite is not designed to be dropped, doing so can result in damage to rollers and other hardware. Doing so can result voided warranty.
*VTS Lite is designed with the understanding that your rack is firmly mounted in place. Rack has the propensity to tip based on amount of weight and angle of pull.
*VTS Lite must be used with safety stops such as set hitch pins to prevent injury. 

Purchase of VTS Lite assumes you have read and understand all risks associated with it’s use.

At Bulletproof Fitness Equipment, we know that finding the right equipment is key to optimizing your workout experience. Our Versa Trolley System (VTS) and VTS Lite are designed for different levels of versatility, strength, and movement capabilities. Here’s a breakdown to help you choose the best option for your needs:

VTS (Versa Trolley System)

- Smooth and Iso-Lateral Movements: The VTS is equipped with dual UHMW rollers on all four sides of the upright, allowing it to handle any load or force configuration smoothly, even with single-handle press and pull movements. This makes it perfect for those needing smooth trolley movement under real loads or opposing forces.

- Heavy-Duty: At 24 lbs per side, the VTS adds weight to your setup, which can be a consideration for exercises requiring lighter starting weights (e.g., drag curls, isolation movements). However, this extra weight also adds stability and strength to your setup.

- Fully Adjustable: The VTS has horizontal set screws on all rollers, allowing you to adjust the unit to fit your rack perfectly snug, minimizing any play during your exercises.

- Safety Features: It comes with bump stops on all sides, which can act as safety stops from front to back or side to side.

- Best For: Users who want ultimate versatility for iso-lateral movements and those needing smooth trolley motion under load. If you’re performing a wide variety of movements with different load configurations, the VTS is the best choice.

VTS Lite

- Simplified Design: The VTS Lite features dual hourglass UHMW rollers on the front and back, making it ideal for Smith machine movements and setups like a high-low cable functional trainer. It provides assistance with the trolley’s movement but may have limitations under heavy or opposing loads.

- Lighter Weight: Weighing only 15 lbs per side, the VTS Lite is a lighter alternative for those who may find the combined weight of a 45 lb barbell plus 48 lbs of VTS weight too heavy for some exercises.

- Cost-Effective: The VTS Lite is more affordable and perfect for users who don’t require the advanced functionality of the full VTS.

- Track and Adjust: Although it has horizontal set screws for adjustments, the hourglass-shaped rollers provide less control than the VTS’s all-sided rollers, which could lead to slightly less smooth movement, especially if your rack’s size doesn’t perfectly match the rollers.

- Safety Consideration: The Lite version has bump stops only on the sides, which may limit safety features for racks that don’t have hitch pin holes on the sides.

- Best For: Users who primarily use their system for Smith machine movements or other standard exercises. It’s ideal for those who want a lighter, more affordable unit and are okay with a slightly reduced range of capabilities.

- Choose the VTS if you want maximum versatility, smooth iso-lateral movements, and don’t mind the added weight for more stability and control. Installation must be done by installing over the top of the upright.

- Choose the VTS Lite if you’re looking for a lighter, more cost-effective solution primarily for Smith machine and basic functional movements. Installation can be done by installing around the upright.

At Bulletproof Fitness Equipment, we know that every athlete and lifter is unique. That's why our Versa Trolley System (VTS) comes with two different hook options, each designed to fit your specific needs:

1. Front Hole Hook:
This hook design fits into the hitch pin holes at the front of your upright, offering multiple latching points along the rack. Most of our customers prefer this option because of its versatility. The numerous latching spots make it easy to adjust for different exercises and allow for a more customized setup. If you're looking for maximum flexibility, this hook is your best choice.

2. Hitch Pin Hook:
For those with any muscle imbalances or injuries (upper body injury examples-shoulder, pec, elbow/lower body examples-lower back, hip, knee, ankle) or who may struggle with keeping the bar perfectly level during a press or pull, the hitch pin hook can provide additional support. This hook latches onto the hitch pin inserted horizontally through your upright. When your bar isn't perfectly level, the hook tip can miss the front hole, which can be a challenge, particularly with 5/8" holes. The hitch pin hook solves this problem by providing a secure catch even if the bar tracks off-level. While 1" holes offer more tolerance, if you're dealing with significant imbalances, the hitch pin hook may be the better option for you.

*Hitch pins not included, we only provide the hooks, not the pins.

Which Hook is Best for You?

- If you're looking for versatility and more latching options, the Front Hole Hook is your go-to.
- If you experience muscle imbalances or injuries and want a setup that helps compensate for uneven bar movement, the Hitch Pin Hook may be your best bet, especially if your uprights have smaller 5/8" holes.

Both hooks offer unique benefits, so choose the one that aligns with your lifting style and needs!
