Updated 2022 with new brands added and some pics to illustrate sizing.
You get a hold of a great power rack or squat rack, but then you find out that the company doesn’t make the attachments / accessories that you want.
No problem! You should be able to find a compatible attachment or accessory, as long as your rack is made with one of a few standard configurations.
Table of Contents
The 3 Compatibility Specs
The key specs are:
The tubing size of the uprights, as above, typically one of: 2″x2″, 2″x3″, or 3″x3″.
The hardware/peg diameter that fits into the holes in the uprights, as above. One of 1/2″, 5/8″, 3/4″, or 1″. Going by the peg diameter is more consistent across brands than the hole size that is cut somewhat larger than the peg.
The hole spacing in the uprights, ie: the distance between holes on center, as above. This is only applicable for attachments that use 2 holes, the second using a locking pin.
2″ spacing is becoming the standard. Some racks have Westside spacing, which is 1″ spacing at a certain height range for setting bench press safety bars just right, and otherwise 2″ spacing above and below that.
When Slightly Wrong Sized Attachments are Ok
An attachment can fit in a larger hole than it’s made for, but it will be able to wiggle and maybe tip down a little, depending on the snugness of the bracket that goes over the tubing.
Similarly, attachment brackets can fit onto slightly smaller tubing than what they were designed for. This can be less bad than the wrong peg size, because you can glue shims (UHMW plastic or wood) to the inside of the attachment’s bracket to make it fit. Some attachments work well enough even if they’re loose. Some don’t have enough pressure put on them to be a safety issue, like a battle rope anchor, but it could still rattle.
Lastly, the steel gauge (wall thickness) of rack tubing does not factor into compatibility. The tubes are fabricated to an outside diameter spec.
For fitting 3×3 attachments onto 2×3 tubing, or 2×3 attachments onto 2×2 tubing, an Etsy seller is making these adapters to fill the void in the bracket.
When You Should Not Use the Wrong Sized Attachments
I don’t recommend you use load-bearing attachments that don’t fit quite right, such as J-hooks, steel safety arms, or plate holders, unless you have a good way of retrofitting it to be snug enough. Use some common sense, visualize it, and you’ll get the idea.
Attachments Using 2 Holes
A large number of readers have asked about attachments that use a locking pin to secure the attachment into a second hole on the rack’s upright. If the hole spacing is the same, it’s fine. Normally the question involves a brand that uses metric hole spacing, in which case it is not compatible either direction with imperial (inches) hole spacing. As much as you want it to work, no, under most circumstances you won’t get the locking pin in. The difference is about 1/16″ on the first hole, and the difference widens with each successive hole.
If you’re thinking of foregoing the locking pin or buying a thinner one, and you have to ask for confirmation on whether it’s safe, you probably shouldn’t do it.
List of Power Rack Attachments by Size
Rogue has among the best and most consistent quality. Cheap Amazon-only brands, which I don’t like to list unless there are no other options, are the worst and might be unsafe. Most other brands are somewhere in the middle or sometimes as good as Rogue.
Not listed here are complex attachments and accessories that will not fit any other racks, such as those that mount on the top or bottom crossmembers or need the rack to be a specific width between uprights. Examples are special pull up bars or rack extensions.
The size categories below are ordered smallest to largest.

Titan X-2* (discontinued), Powerline PPR1000, Northern Lights Crossbox
* The Titan Fitness X-2 used 50x50mm tubing, which is 1.97″x1.97″. Titan also used 50mm hole spacing. The second hole on their attachments that use two holes (with a hitch pin) will not line up quite right on racks with 2″ hole spacing.

2×3 Tubing, 3/4″ Pegs
Sunny Health & Fitness Power Zone Power Cage
No other brands match this size. The attachments in the 2×3, 5/8″ peg section above should fit this rack well enough.

Rogue Monster Lite, Vulcan Flat Base Power Rack, Stray Dog Strength, Griffin Fitness GR3 Lite*, Bells of Steel Hydra, Rep Fitness PR-4000*, Titan X-3*, Body Solid GPR400 / SPR500 / SPR1000**,
* The Titan Fitness X-3, Rep Fitness PR-4000, and Griffin Fitness GR3 Lite racks use 75x75mm tubing, which is 2.95″x2.95″, or about 1 millimeter difference vs true 3×3 inch tubing. Their attachment brackets are generally made large enough that they are compatible with 3×3 tubing except as noted. They both use 50mm (1.97″) hole spacing. For the reverse situation, you can use true 3×3 attachments on these 75mm racks, if the attachment does not need to fit tightly the way some such as roller J-cups need to.
** The Body Solid SPR1000 takes 5/8″ pegs facing the front/back, and 3/4″ pegs on the sides. Many of its attachments are made to fit the side holes, which are incompatible with any other racks.

3×3 Tubing, 3/4″ Pegs
American Barbell power racks, EliteFTS Collegiate / R3
See the 3×3, 5/8″ section above for more attachments that will fit these racks well enough.

* The Titan Fitness, Rep Fitness, and Griffin Fitness racks use 75x75mm tubing, which is 2.95″x2.95″. Their attachments are generally made large enough that they are compatible with 3×3 tubing. There have been reports of Titan’s all-steel J-cups and UHMW-lined J-cups not fitting over 3×3 tubing, but their other attachments should fit. Titan and Rep both use 50mm (1.97″) hole spacing.
Universal Fit Attachments
For a high and low cable system that works on almost any power rack, see the Spud Inc Pulley System shown above.
If you only need a high pulley (for lat pulldowns and tricep pushdowns), see Giant Lifting’s pulley system for a much lower price.
This Rep Fitness dip attachment above fits on almost any rack with 1″ round safety bars (thanks Anthony!). The rack needs to have at least 21″ depth between the front and back uprights, which is the case for all freestanding racks and most floor-mounted racks except the most shallow ones. The rack’s hole spacing does not matter, as the bottom part of the attachment simply rests against wherever the lower safety bar is.
There are a couple solutions for power rack strap safeties if you can’t find a match. If you can get a brand of them with brackets that fit your rack but the straps are the wrong length, get two 2″ Stren-Flex slings of the right length to replace them with. They are extremely strong, with pertinent info labeled and a chart on that webpage with the pound ratings.
Your second option is a pair of Spud Inc suspension straps that hang off your rack’s top crossmembers.
Rear Rack Extension and Foot Stabilizer Fit
Multiple questions on this in the comments prompted me to add this section.
You generally can’t add a rear rack extension – usually to accommodate weight plate storage – made for a different brand. The height of the holes off the floor and the rack width would have to be precisely the same.
Similarly, with extension feet meant to stabilize a rack, even if the tubing size and peg size are a match, the holes would have to be precisely the same height off the floor, or they would float and defeat the purpose.
I have heard reports of people using these across brands, but in every case it seems the user made some modifications to make it work. If you found a case where they are perfectly compatible, please leave a comment!
General Recommendations
For the best compatibility going forward, I highly recommend getting a 3×3 rack taking 5/8″ pegs or 1″ pegs, compatible with Rogue Monster Lite or Monster, respectively. Other companies try to fit those sizes to be compatible.
Rogue appears to be in the beginning stages of abandoning their 2×3 racks in favor of 3×3. Other manufacturers have noticed and likely will follow suit. This doesn’t mean that nobody will make racks with 2×2 or 2×3 tubing. I believe that there will be a market for those lighter and cheaper racks for a long time, and they are not necessarily bad racks. The 3×3 attachments sell much better and are more numerous, because people who spend the extra money for a 3×3 rack are more likely to soup it up.
As mentioned about specific brands in the charts above, you might want to steer clear of racks that have metric sized tubing that is not truly 3×3 inches even though that might be what they advertise.
I’m looking to try and fit the Athena weight stacks on my Monster Lite. I have a 4 post right now so my plan is to buy two Rep posts and Crossmembers so that the weight stack part of the Athena should fit no problem.
But my main concern is the adjustable pulleys as they look so fit permanently on the front uprights. Since Rogue is 3×3 and Rep uses metric I’m concerned that they’ll get stuck and won’t easily slide up and down. This happens sometimes with my Titan Lever arms, I gotta whip out the mallet and whack it off (the lever arm ya weirdo).
Does this seem like a reasonable plan or am I setting myself up for disappointment?
Hard to say. Some things people have fit from metric to imperial, some not. Someone who has tried that specific piece would have to report. The locking pins won’t line up right, that much is a given.
So I just bought the rep 5000 rack but unfortunately the weight horns and dip attachment are sold out atm. Would the Rogue 13″ Monster Plate Storage Channel and the rouge monster matador work with the machine?
Titan’s TITAN Series attachments should fit the tubing size better. The Monster matador should be ok enough. The Monster storage channel might not stick out perfect level.
i got the rep 5000 and use these rogue monster plate storage pin , get the keyless one. https://www.roguefitness.com/rogue-monster-keyhole-keyless-plate-storage-pin
Can anyone confirm that the Bells of Steel sliding lever arms will fit on a Rep Fitness 4000 rack?
Looking for 2x2x1x30 safety straps for GIANT GGPR. The only 2x2x1 safeties I’ve found seem to be the Synergee Power Rack Safety Straps but they’re not due until March 2023 and only 24″.
? Are there any reputable options in 2x2x1 at 30″?
? Any luck adapting 2×3 or 3×3 to 2×2 with a shim?
? Homemade bracket options?
? If I buy separate straps, how long should they be for 30″ depth rack?
🙏 Thanks!
Anyone know if you can use an extension to add another smaller rack? I inherited a high school weight room that only has 5 rogue racks. need to add more with space being very limited.
Oak Club Manuf. also make 3″x3″ power racks with 1″ pins (made in Canada). Limited amount of standard accessories but items can be customized. Rogue sandwich J-Cups and Monster Attachment Posts work fine. Have been using this rack for a few months and very happy with it.
Irwin Fitness out of Canada also has their Pro series racks 3″x3″ with 1″ holes. Accessories available as well.
Has anyone tried the Rep plate loaded Lat/Low row with the rogue monster rack?
I am looking at purchasing the PRx profiles pro rack and am wondering if the Rogue
MONSTER LT-1 50 CAL™ TROLLEY™ 2.0 & LEVER ARM KIT will fit the PRx rack. It looks like there are two variations of the trolley.
I believe it should fit.
What options are there to make the pegs on the attachments fit a larger hole? I’ve got an older rack with true 3×3 tubing but the holes are nearly 1.25”. Checking out dip attachments and wondering if something fitted for 3×3 and 1” holes would work
Hey man not sure if anyone has already posted this or not but I found some more attachments that work for the Ethos Power Rack. There’s a company called InspireFitness and they have a Power Rack that is exactly the same as the Ethos Power Rack. They have a few attachments that they will sell you if you message them and ask to buy the attachments separate from the rack. Landmine, dip bars, battle rope & band peg attachments. I ordered them and all worked excellent.
why did you buy from inspire and not look at the list from other ocmpanies like titan or what not. is there something you felt inspire offered better, more cheaply than the other attachment offerings?
Hello, could you add ATX?
FYI this guy on etsy makes adapter to make it so any 3×3 will fit snugly on a 2×3 and even 2×2’s…..https://www.etsy.com/shop/3DSolutionsTX?ref=simple-shop-header-name&listing_id=1010530559
That’s cool, I’ll have to share it!
Will the rogue shrimp trawler fit a Rep PR4000? This attachment isn’t listed. Thank you so much for the help!
Same issue as other attachments that use 2 holes. Metric vs imperial hole spacing.
That depends. I put a rogue monster shrimp trawler on a pr-5000 with no problems because the holes were oval, not round, on the trawler. If the 5/8” version is the same oval shape, then you should be good. You should confirm with rogue
So I have the rep 5000 power rack
I was looking at Rogues reverse hyper attachment for their monster racks
Would this fit on my 5000?
Thanks for all of your great posts btw
Nope, hole spacing is off. Metric vs imperial.
Please add Griffin Fitness GR3 Lite to the guide.
Will do, thanks. Looks like they’re directly compatible with Monster Lite.
I can confirm the Titan T3 Spotter Arms do work with the PRX Performance 2×3 racks. The fit was very tight, but I found some light sanding makes a strong friction fit. There are three plastic pads that contact the rack posts. Two are on one side of the post with the one remaining pad on the other. I took the pad from the side that only has one off by unscrewing two screws. I then lightly sanded the back and screwed it back on the arm. The arm now fits the post with a strong friction fit making the pin unnecessary. I should note, I also tried Fringe’s spotter arms, but their design interfered with the stabilizing arm at the height I needed for my bench. The arms also were pretty banged up when they arrived. Ultimately, the T3 arms are a cheaper option at half the price of PRX’s own for their 2×3 racks.
Are there lever arm attachments for a 2×2 cage with 4/5 peg holes? Thanks!
I think the market isn’t really big enough for someone who has the cheapest size cage (2×2) but wants an attachment on the expensive side like that.
I have TSS, do 1″ attachments forcefully fit the 7/8 holes on their 3×3?
Any idea if the Straydog Half Rack Band Attachment fits in the Rep PR500 Uprights?
Thank you so much for the comprehensive guide!
Does any company make independent squat stands with 3″x3″ tube and 1″ holes? Can’t seem to find it. I have a monster rack and want to use the same attachments, but space only allows for indy stands that I can move around/store. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!
Hi Theo, I’m actually picking up one of these in a week.
https://harborheavyweightsco.com/products/the-harbor-squat-stand
Looks quite impressive in person. Check them out.
How good is the plate storage and spotter arm fit from Titan on the Rogue Monster Lite racks?
Did you ever confirm if the Rep Front Foot Extension Pair will work on the Rogue Monster Lite?
If I remember right, it will go on but doesn’t quite reach the floor. Like a rear rack extension, it’s got to line up perfectly to work well without modification, which almost never happens across brands.
Hello – first of all, thank you for this amazing website
I have a Rogue RML-390F that I would like to expand to 6 post. Would the Titan X-3 extension kit be compatible?
This guide is very helpful! Do you know of any spotter arms that would fit a 2×2 with 3/4″ pegs?
What a great guide! I have a Inspire Fitness FPC1 , Im looking to add a Rep fitness 4000/5000 SERIES LAT PULLDOWN
https://repfitness.com/collections/rack-attachments/products/lat-and-low-attachment-4000-5000
Do you think its compatible?
David, this is fantastic work, thank you!
I checked the ForceUSA website and it has the following dimensions for the MyRack:
Upright Size:2.4 in square (60 mm)
Accessory Holes:5/8 in (16 mm)
If true, would Bells of Steel 5.1 Commercial attachments fit the MyRack uprights? It would be fantastic to add the Bells of Steel lever arms to the MyRack.
Some companies give the peg size and some give the (larger) hole size, and sometimes they mean the peg size when they do, and you would have to convert it. I already did that, so the listings for ForceUSA and Bells of Steel should both be accurate here. The BOS 5.1 is the same size as their 2.1 and others. ForceUSA is smaller, making BOS attachments incompatible. You can go the other direction.
Will the 16″ Rep Fitness PR 5000 Crossmembers line up and work on a Rogue RM-4 Rack?
Rogue Monster Rack Mount 4-Bar Hanger on PR-5000v2? Has anybody attached this bar hanger to the rep rack? rep doesn’t appear to sell a 4-bar hanger and I didn’t want to buy two 2-bar hangers since they are basically the same price as Rogue’s 4-bar hanger.
Is it confirmed that the Titan T-3 lever arms fit the Rogue infinity racks? I haven’t seen a lot of info on the cross-compatibility, and much of it is conflicting.
hi, i have spare Rogue Monster 2.0 upright and been thinking to convert it to kind of all-in-one storage for Dumbbell & Miscellanous stuff.. does Stray Dog Strength dumbbell Tray and or crossmember will fit on Rogue Monster 2.0 upright?
thanks in advance.
Will sorinex jammer arns work on a rogue monster rack. Both 3×3
Anyone have any clue if a Rep Fitness crossmembers will fit on Rogue Monster uprights? I worry about the hole spacing not lining up exactly right before ordering small crossmembers to downsize the depth of my rack.
They should. Rogue monster is 1″ spacing , rep PR-5000 is also 1″ space
Hi, did you ever see if the Rep cross members fit Rogue? Thanks!
Excellent article and very informative! Thanks for the great work!
Question: Does the diameter size refer to the hole or the hardware/peg?
For example, is:
a) the hole 5/8″ and the peg is smaller like 9/16″ OR
b) the peg 5/8″ and the hole is larger like 11/16″
Background: I’m starting to think the holes on my squat rack were cut too small for a few reasons.
1) I purchased spotter arms from the same company and the pegs didn’t fit into the holes on the squat rack
2) I purchased an attachment from a separate company that is included in above chart and the pegs also didn’t fit
3) The product page has this strange note: “***Note: These replacement J-Cups will not fit Garage Series Squat Racks with Pull Up Bar ordered between June 2020 and October 2020. Please contact team@fringesport.com to place an order for j-cups if you ordered during this timeframe***”. I purchased my squat rack just after the period.
Anyone else run into this?
The charts are the hardware or peg size. Holes are a varying amount bigger. It sounds like your interpretation is right and Fringe made an incompatible rack that you got caught in despite the date. This is the first I’ve heard of it.
I’ve run into the same issue with https://www.fringesport.com/collections/squat-racks/products/floor-mounted-kip-cage
this 2×3 rack has holes which I measured at
2″ side are .6225″
3″ side are .6715″
which makes the front-facing holes slightly too small for 5/8 (.625) attachments. I contacted Fringe if this was intentional as it seems strange the 2″ side and 3″ side holes were different, but no answer as to why this is… J-cups were out of stock at the time and not luck with an alternative.
Looking for safety spotter straps that fit a body solid Gpr400
Hi, I’ve looked everywhere trying to find someone to validate that the rogue monster shrimp trawler will fit onto a Rep PR-5000v2 rack. I’m trying to mount my heavy bag to the rack. the hole spacing issue (1.96″ vs 2″) is a bit concerning because the shrimp trawler’s holes are spaced 6″ apart, center to center. That’s now a difference of of 0.12″ over the 6″ (0.04″ * 3 = 0.12″). Has anybody put this configuration together?
You can buy a shrimp trawler from titan or bolt fitness, and be sure it’s metric spacing.
The Storm Series bolt “Accessory Hanger” looks like it would work! I’ll give them a call. thanks!
So I decided to take a chance on the Rogue Monster Shrimp Trawler. I figured worst case I will drill out the holes a bit to make it fit. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the holes in the shrimp trawler are not round, but oval and will easily accommodate attachment to a Rep rack. Plus it has three holes, but Rogue confirmed you only need to use two of the holes (they only give you two bolts anyway). I’ve attached a pic of the trawler. I’m trying to get Rep to sell me a single 16″ crossmember that I will then mount on the top of the rack in a vertical position and attach the trawler to it. this will allow me to get it higher so the bag hangs at the right height.
Hey Chris, I’m trying to do exactly what you are doing. Did rep sell you the cross members? If so, I’d love to see a picture of the final product.
Regards,
Mark
Mark, so they did sell me a set of two (apparently i couldn’t buy just one). it’s the Apollo 16″ crossmember
https://repfitness.com/collections/rack-attachments/products/apollo-16-crossmembers
if you look closely, the shrimp trawler is leaning down. it’s not bending, it’s caused by the play in the holes vs the bolt. the heavy bag (just 100lb) and the trawler are pulling laterally on the crossmember and it’s twisting in the holes. if you have a 93″ upright, you could mount the trawler directly to the upright and there wouldn’t be a problem. Functionally i don’t think it’s a problem.
One thing that I didn’t expect is that hitting the bag causes the rack to shake (i’m not that strong). i put spring clips on the weight horns to keep the smaller weights from vibrating off. i don’t have it bolted to the floor as i have about 1000 lbs of weight plates on it.
The cross-member is black metallic, so if you choose to do this, i make you a deal on the other cross-member ;)
you should try and add the monster mini feet to the sides where the bag is, according to Brandon from youtube channel, ill leave the link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j-mftvdU9Vc , he explains the feet from rogue https://www.roguefitness.com/rogue-monster-mini-feet should fit the pr 5000 series and vice versa. I am trying to do the same as well add a bag to my pr 5000, the mini feet are only 13 inches long and should help in making sure the rack is stable, while also making sure they are not on the way.
thanks, i like those feet. i’ll look at getting a set. i also revisited this setup and repositioned the pull-up bar between the two 16″ uprights. this keeps the bag from pulling the crossmember and the setup seems a lot more stable when hitting the bag.
so the rogue mini-feet came in, but unfortunately they would only mount to the front. they will not mount to the side where the trawler is. I wanted to like them, but I ended up sending them back since they weren’t going to really help lateral stability. I’ll probably mount a bar hanger on the opposite side to offset some of the weight.
Just notice the holes on the pr 5000 are higher than the ones on the front, did the feet fit the holes on holes or they just don’t align with holes on the side?, If they do align with the side holes I might weld a piece of metal or put a piece of thick rubber between the feet and floor, why can rep just do all holes the same distance in all sides.
yeah it wasn’t an issue with the mount height. like you said, i could very simply put some spacers under the foot to make the height issue go away. the problem was that the hole spacing didn’t seem to line up at all on the side. very perplexing. It would definitely mount to the front if I wanted to do that.
Has anyone found a Lat/Row cable attachment compatible with the Ethos Power Rack 1.0? It looks as though a different cross member across the back would be necessary at the very least.
