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.

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.
2×3 Tubing, 1″ Pegs
Fitness Reality X-Class Light Commercial Rack
No other brands match this size.
50x80mm (1.97″x3.15″) Tubing, 5/8″ Pegs
Rep Fitness PR-3000 (discontinued)
3×3 Tubing, 5/8″ Pegs
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.
Mark Buffalo wrote a guide on how to fit the Titan X-3 lat pulldown on a Rogue Monster Lite rack.
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.
3×3 Tubing, 1″ Pegs
Rogue Monster, Vulcan Strength Racks (except Flat Base Power Rack), Ethos Power Rack 1.0, Amstaff 370, Fringe 3×3 rig, Valor rig, Legend Fitness Performance Series, EliteFTS Scholastic Half Racks / Garage Power Racks, Get Rx’d Goliath rack, Sorinex XL Series, Bolt Fitness Storm Series, XM Fitness 365 Infinity Power Rack, PRx Pro, Prime Prodigy, eliteFTS Quick Ship Power Rack, Inspire Fitness FPC1, Fray Fitness Savage Series, Stray Dog Strength, Giant Lifting 3X Series, Oak Club Manufacturing, Irwin Fitness, Titan’s TITAN Series*, Rep Fitness PR-5000*, Griffin Fitness GR3*
* 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 at the ethos folding rack from dicks sporting goods. It’s 3”X3” and 11 gauge steel. I can’t find any attachments for it anywhere online and it doesn’t have holes like normal squat racks. Does ethos make attachments for the foldable rack (they do for the standard), and if ethos doesn’t, are there any products that would work?
Just a FYI, HulkFit is also 60mmx60mm with 1” holes.
Someone else reported the Hulkfit is 65mm. Do you have the rack?
I have the Hulkfit Power Cage, it’s closer to 63mm.
63mm is as close to 2.5″ as you can get, so we’ve got three conflicting measurements for the Hulkfit now. Anyone got calipers? I got a pair to measure all this kind of stuff. It’s tough to nail it down with a tape measure.
Afraid not on the calipers :/ The picture was more to show I have the cage and did go out there and measure, but it was hard to take while getting it lined up correctly (hence the tape which kind of throws off the measurement). When I hold it in place with both hands and look at it, it’s between 63mm and 64mm, closer to 63mm though.
Ok, I’m putting it into the 2.5″ section now. All the Amazon comments seem to agree.
I ended up getting a caliper, the caliper says 60.2mm, I tested all 4 posts and it ranged from 59.3mm to 60.6mm depending on the post and where I measured the post. I thought maybe the caliper was inaccurate so I tested it on my Rogue Mil-Spec Echo Bumper Plates (because they have a strict +/- 0.2mm requirement) and was within 0.1mm to all the specifications listed for the plates I checked. I am going to contradict my previous statement and say the Hulkfit Power Cage uses a 60mm x 60mm post.
Based on that, do you know if the PowerTec Resistance Band Pegs for the PowerTec WB-PR cage would fit my Hulkfit Cage? (https://www.powertec.com/new-resistance-band-pegs-attachment-wb-pr16-rbp?gclid=CjwKCAjwoZWHBhBgEiwAiMN66d02s0FNPPbf44Q3-BJkshO3MtgN6Izxn6eHkNEy1eowcN6q_BVBjRoCnNkQAvD_BwE)
You have the PowerTec WB-PR cage listed as 60mm x 60mm, but I don’t see that listed anywhere in the specs for the cage. I’d rather not drill any holes in the base of my cage for band pegs so that seems like an ideal solution if it will fit.
Great, I’m updating it to 60mm.
As for the Powertec, I believe someone somewhere said it was 60mm.
Those band pegs look like they might only fit the Powertec.
Any reason the Titan T-3 safety straps aren’t on the compatiblity list? I own a bolt lighting series rack and want a set of safety straps, the only one I can find so far is the Titan T-3 version.
It’s right there on the list, under 2×3 tubing, 5/8″ hardware
Sorry about that! My old eyes looked right over it. Thank you.
Anyone know if there are any dip bars compatible with the titan t-3 series folding power rack?
In the Sunny Health section you mention it is 2×3 3/4″ hardware but say it should fit well enough with 3×3 5/8″. Did you mean it should fit well enough with 2×3 5/8″?
Yes, thanks for the correction!
Anyone know if the Rogue Monster Monolift will properly fit the REP PR5000?
I just bought the Rogue Adjustable Monolift (delivered today) and the bottom pins don’t fit in my Rep Fitness PR5000. I suspect the Rogue racks are exactly 2” on center holes and unfortunately the REP PR5000 seems to be 1 15/16” on center. Right now I’m deciding if I should still use the monolift without the bottom pins. Measure your rack… I made the false assumption that they were 2” on center.
Yep, the PR5000 is 50mm hole spacing, just under 2″. I need a good looking way to add hole spacing to the list to help everyone avoid this situation. I might have to list them all out, and note it on each attachment, or at least point out the ones with metric hole spacing.
Thanks Jim and Dave for the reply. I’ve messaged a lot of powerlifters on IG and most have told me that the bottom pin isn’t a huge issue unless your re-rack path is unstable or has sway. Several that lift way more than I do (600lbs+) said that they would (and have) trust(ed) the monolift under heavy loads without the use of the bottom pin as long as it fit securely at the top. I’m still debating whether or not to buy Rogue’s version, or hold onto hope that REP’s will be put into production again.
Thanks guys. Also, as you probably know, the Rep Fitness posts are not 3”, they are 75mm. Attachments made for 3” posts (like the Rogue monolift) will not be as snug as they should be.
Anyone know if this “T-2 SERIES LAT TOWER POWER RACK ATTACHMENT” works on the PR-1000?
Has anyone tried a rogue monster lite hip thruster bench with the vulcan flat base power rack? a lot of the rogue lite accessories are compatible with this power rack
Sadly to say that Rep PR-4000 Landmine does not fit Titan X3 although they’re all 3×3 tubing with 5/8″ hardware. I guess it’s because Rep PR-4000 tubes are slightly narrower than Titan X3 tube. I made scratches on my Titan X3 rack but still couldn’t install. Rep PR-4000 landmine is too tight.
As Titan does not provide landmine, does Rogue Monster Lite Landmine work?
What I said is partly true. PR-4000 Landmine does not fit Titan X3 when you top-mount it. The “claw” is too tight to fit Titan X3 tubing. However, if you side-mount it by putting the “claw” adjacent to the tubing, the slight dimension difference causes no problem at all.
Actually side-mouting increases flexibility by allowing the “claw” to rotate and is the most popular way of installing.
Excellent, thanks for sharing!
Just measured the dimensions of my Valor Fitness BD-41 and I’m pretty sure that the dimensions given here (and on their own website) aren’t correct. I measured 2-11/32″ with a tape measure. I bet if I had a good caliper that it would show really close to 60mm.
It sounds like you measured pretty accurately to get that precision. If it’s been 10/32″ (5/8″) and 11/32″ then 60mm would be it. How about the brackets on the attachments? Are they pretty snug?
I only have the J hooks and safety bars right now but I’ve got their dip bar attachments on the way. The J hooks have some front/back movement, but are good on the rotational axis around the pin. I measured front to back at about 2.5″, but maybe a tad bit smaller. They might work with 2.5″ racks, but it would be a very very snug fit and they would probably sit rotated.
When I get the dip bars in, I can measure those as well.
I have a TITAN X-3 rack and am looking to attach ROGUE monster LITE Spotter arms. TITAN hardware is 11/16″ and RML hardware is 5/8″ (0.6875 TITAN space for a 0.625 ROGUE attachment ) so it will have some space. IS IT DANGEROUS?
I don’t think the bottom hole will line up for the safety lock pin. You might find that the arms don’t quite stick 90 degrees out, causing the bar to roll down it.
Anybody know if Rogue’s vertical bar holder for the monster lite would fit the pr4000?
Any clue if the Titan T2 lat pulldown leg holder kit will fit on the REP PR1100?
I’m searching for the Hulk Fit Extra Long 2″ diameter weight posts. My set was missing 1 on delivery and I cannot seem to find them anywhere.
Just picked up a bodycraft f430 the other day . cant seem to find anything compatible. is this the case?
i see theres attachments from bodycraft itself. but not everythinng id like monolift etc.
Any attachments for the Ethos wall mount? The have pins sticking out vs holes. Am i totally restricted with this setup?
The unique design of the pins on that makes it totally incompatible with any other model.
I had the same question, do you think someone could drill holes into it to make it work?
I have yet to find anything that will fit my Eleiko half rack. The posts are 8,5×8,5 (meaning bigger than 3×3). Eleikos own J-cups are quite basic. Anyone else knows what might fit this type of size?
They are 8cm x 8cm*
