Angled Rack Extension

Name: Angled Rack Extension
Brand: Black Widow Training Gear
Rating: 5.0 (4 reviews)

The Black Widow Angled Rack Extension bolts onto a squat rack with 4” or 6” on-center hole spacing to add reach beyond the rack’s own uprights. It’s 18” of heavy-duty 3x3” steel tubing with 1” or 5/8” holes on all four sides, and its angled design gains 6” of extra vertical height at the far end – enough for a 6-foot-tall lifter to hang from a pull-up bar without touching the ground, per buyer feedback. It mounts flush with the top of the rack or anywhere below it, and the extra holes make it a mounting point for pulley systems (including Voltra-style setups) as well as pull-up bars. It’s made in the USA and finished in black powder coat, with a custom color option available. Buyers consistently praise the weld quality and finish; one noted needing to flip a bolt to work around the welding on their particular mounting setup.

What is a Rack Attachment?

What rack attachments are

Rack attachments bolt or pin onto a power rack or squat stand to expand what it can do — J-cups and safety arms/straps (the essentials), plus dip bars, a landmine, a lat pulldown, weight-plate storage, roller J-cups, and more. They turn a rack into a whole gym.

Compatibility comes first

An attachment must match your rack’s upright size (2x2, 2x3, or 3x3) and hole pattern/hardware (e.g. 5/8-in vs 1-in holes, Westside spacing). Attachments are usually series-specific — a Monster Lite J-cup won’t fit an Echo upright — so confirm the fit before buying.

The Angled Rack Extension bolts onto a 4” or 6” on-center squat rack and adds 18” of heavy-duty 3x3” steel tubing angled to gain 6” of extra vertical height at the end – room to hang a pull-up bar clear of the ground or mount a Voltra-style pulley setup. Versatility and build quality are the standout dimensions: buyers report clean welds and a top-notch powder coat, and a 6-foot-tall user confirmed the added height is enough to hang from a pull-up bar without touching the floor on a standard rack. The weakest dimension is independent evidence: coverage is limited to GymRadar’s small sample and the manufacturer’s own review widget, with no editorial or video reviews turning up anything critical beyond one buyer needing to swap a bolt for a welding-clearance issue, so durability over the long term is still mostly unproven. At $150 for a single extension it’s a value proposition that only pencils out if you specifically need the angled reach – Black Widow’s Flush Straight Rack Extension covers plain hole-spacing extension for less if you don’t need the angle.

+Versatility: bolts onto metric or standard racks with 4" or 6" on-center hole spacing, mounts flush or below the rack top, and works for pull-up bars, pulley systems, or Voltra-style setups (manufacturer)
+Build quality: heavy-duty 3x3" steel tubing with clean welds and a top-notch black powder coat finish, made in the USA (manufacturer)
+Functionality: the 6" angled height addition gives real clearance -- a 6-foot-tall buyer confirmed enough room to hang from a pull-up bar without feet touching the ground (manufacturer)
+Build quality: 1" or 5/8" holes on all four sides maximize compatibility with other rack-mounted accessories (manufacturer)

−Value: $150 for a single extension ($220 for a pair) is a premium price for a rack accessory, and only makes sense over a straight extension if the angled reach is actually needed (manufacturer)
−Durability: no independent editorial or video reviews exist for this specific product, so long-term wear data beyond buyer testimonials is thin (GymRadar; manufacturer)
−Build quality: at least one buyer had to flip a bolt to work around the welding, suggesting the stock hardware doesn't fit every mounting scenario out of the box (manufacturer)
