Dip Attachments for Power Racks: Types and Fit

You have a power rack and want to add dips without giving floor space to a standalone station. The short answer: a dip attachment for power rack use almost always has to come from your rack’s maker, because nine of the 11 attachments checked here are sold only for named rack lines. Match the mount to your uprights first, then choose the handle layout that fits your grip.

If your rack is a Rogue, REP or Titan, buy that maker’s version for your exact series. If it is another brand, the realistic options are the Bells of Steel Y Dip, which is sold by tube and hole size, and Bulletproof’s Isolator system. Every spec below was checked on September 28, 2026, on the product page linked in the table.

Which dip attachment for power rack setups fits your rack?

Brand and series decide fit before anything else, because that is how nearly every maker defines compatibility. Upright size and hole size only become the deciding numbers when a rack dip station is sold by size instead of by rack model.

Rogue splits the Matador into three products for its three upright families, and each one excludes the others. The Infinity version covers the R-series racks, S-2 and S-3 stands and Infinity rigs, the Monster version is for Rogue’s 3×3 Monster line, and even within those lines the SML-1 and SM-1 are ruled out. Buying the wrong Matador is a return, not an adjustment.

Titan draws its line by date as well as model. The Y-Dip is out for any T-3 bought before October 2021, so check your order date before you trust the model name. REP goes further and guarantees its pinned Dip Attachment only on the PR-4000 and PR-5000, citing machining variables between racks.

Pin-in, drop-in or clip-on: which mount style works with your uprights?

Once you know which products are built for your rack, the mount style tells you how the attachment sits on the rack. The attachments here use four approaches, and none of the product pages asks you to bolt the attachment itself to the rack.

• Pinned into a hole: Titan’s Y-Dip, the Bells of Steel Y Dip, the Rogue Velocidor, the Mutant Metals UDA and REP’s Dip Attachment all lock in with a pin. The pin is why hole size matters.
• Hooked in like J-cups: REP’s Drop-In mounts as two separate “Double C-cup” pieces, one on each upright.
• Anchored to the upright: the three Matadors use Rogue’s anchoring system, and each one fits a single Rogue upright family.
• Clipped onto safeties: Titan’s X-Dip grabs the pin-and-pipe safeties and needs no hardware.

For pinned designs, the product you order has to carry the right pin diameter. Rogue sells the Velocidor as a 1-inch-hole Monster version and a 5/8-inch-hole Monster Lite version, the UDA comes with either a 1-inch welded pin or a 5/8-inch detent pin, and Bells of Steel splits its Y Dip three ways by tube and hole size. If you are unsure which standard your rack uses, the Rack Attachment Fit Checker walks through it.

The clip-on route moves the fit question from your uprights to your safeties. Titan’s X-Dip clip fits 1.8-inch pipe, so it only works with the safety set it was designed around. If you run straps, flip-downs or spotter arms instead, the power rack safeties comparison covers how those systems differ.

Does your rack need to be bolted down before you dip?

Mount style also decides where the attachment can sit, and that is where makers attach their stability warnings. When the handles hang off the outside of the rack, your bodyweight sits past the footprint of the base.

Titan’s Y-Dip page puts it plainly: “For safety, if your rack isn’t bolted down, install the Y-Dip on the inside.” Bells of Steel uses stronger wording for its Y Dip, saying you “must” use it on the inside of an unsecured rack. REP recommends bolting the rack down or adding Front Foot Extensions whenever the Drop-In goes on the front uprights.

The X-Dip carries its own condition: it is most secure when used against two uprights. If your rack is free-standing, plan on dipping inside it, and confirm your safeties or J-cups won’t block the handles at the height you need. The rack attachment compatibility checklist treats bolt-down status as one of the seven checks for any attachment.

Y-dip vs V-dip: which handle geometry suits you?

With fit and placement settled, handle geometry is the choice left to you. Among the attachments checked here, “Y” is a product name used by Titan and Bells of Steel, and none is sold as a V-dip. Both labels describe the same layout: two handles that angle apart as they extend from the rack, so you choose a width by where you grip along them.

Fixed angled handles from Rogue, REP and Titan all cover much the same band, starting between about 18 and 20 inches and ending in the mid twenties. That suits a medium to wide grip. Makers measure it differently, center to center on the Matadors and overall spread on Titan’s Y-Dip, so compare ranges loosely rather than to the quarter inch.

Adjustable designs reach narrower. The Velocidor’s narrow setting sits about 4 inches inside the Matador’s narrowest point, and its handles switch between angled, straight and tilted settings. The UDA’s three positions give it a 16-inch range, the widest in the table.

To use these numbers, measure a grip width you already like on any dip station, center of hand to center of hand, and look for an attachment whose range brackets it. If your number falls below about 17 inches, only the Velocidor and the UDA publish settings that narrow. Handle thickness also varies, with Titan’s Y-Dip and Rogue’s Matador and Velocidor handles at the thick end and the X-Dip the thinnest.

What if your rack isn’t a Rogue, REP or Titan?

The size-based options exist for exactly this case, where no maker-matched attachment fits. Bells of Steel sells its Y Dip by tube and hole size rather than by rack model, in 5/8-inch and 1-inch hole versions. If your uprights and holes match one of those, it is the simplest pin-in choice here, with a published capacity.

The Bulletproof route works differently. Isolator models pin to 3×3, 2×3 or 2×2 uprights with 1-inch or 5/8-inch holes, with pin sizes from 1/2 inch to 1 inch and adapter plates for the smaller pins. The Lock-N-Float Curl/Dip Add-On then turns its lever arm into a machine-style dip with 38 mm handles in three width positions.

That flexibility comes as a system rather than a single attachment. You need the Isolator, the Lock-N-Float Lever Arm and the add-on, and Bulletproof publishes no dip capacity or handle widths in inches. The Lock-N-Float guide explains how the lever arm locks or floats and what each add-on needs.

Which dip attachment should you buy for your rack?

If you train in a Rogue R-series rack or Infinity rig, the Infinity Matador is the Rogue option here built for that line. On a Monster Lite or Monster rack, choose the matching Matador for a fixed angled layout, or the Velocidor or UDA if you want narrower widths or adjustable handles, ordered with the right pin size.

If you own a REP PR-4000 or PR-5000, both REP attachments fit, and the Drop-In carries the higher published capacity. On an Omni or Apollo, the Drop-In is your REP option. If it goes on the front uprights, bolt the rack down or add Front Foot Extensions first.

If you have a Titan T-3 bought in or after October 2021, the Y-Dip gives you angled handles and a pinned mount. For an older T-3 or an X-3 with the pin-and-pipe safeties, look at the X-Dip, whose page names no purchase-date cutoff.

If your rack is another brand, measure your tube size and hole diameter. A match with one of the Bells of Steel versions points you to its Y Dip, while the Isolator with the Lock-N-Float add-on covers more upright sizes at the cost of a larger setup.

Before you order, run your rack through the Rack Attachment Fit Checker to confirm your upright size and hole standard. Then match that result against the fits column above before you choose a handle layout.
