Dip Station

Name: Dip Station
Brand: Iron Bull Strength
Rating: 3.59 (9 reviews)

Iron Bull’s Dip Station is a rack-mounted dip attachment for 3x3” uprights with 5/8” holes: 3x3” 11-gauge steel, tapered/angled 1.9” handles to suit different shoulder widths, and a UHMW lining that protects both the rack and the attachment from metal-on-metal wear. It’s rated for 600+ lb, so it’s stable for weighted dips, not just bodyweight.

It’s one of the core rack add-ons alongside a bench-press safety net like the SAML-24 Monster Lite Safety Spotter Arms and the Leg Roller.

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.

Evidence specific to Iron Bull’s rack-mounted Dip Station is thin — no dedicated expert review or Reddit thread turned up, and two of the gathered sources (a GymRadar page and a Jungle Gym Reviews writeup) turned out to cover other Iron Bull products, not this attachment, so they’re excluded here. What we can confirm: 3x3” 11-gauge steel construction with a 600+ lb rating and UHMW lining to protect the rack, and a hands-on reviewer who installed one on an Iron Bull PR2 confirmed it fits snugly with no excessive play. Retailer listings show consistent specs and pricing but carry zero customer reviews, so this verdict stays conservative and hedged pending more field data.

+Build quality: 3x3" 11-gauge steel construction rated for 600+ lb, well above bodyweight-dip loads (Iron Bull manufacturer page)
+Build quality: UHMW lining protects both rack and attachment from metal-on-metal wear during install/removal (Iron Bull manufacturer page)
+Functionality: angled, tapered 1.9" handles offer varied grip widths for shoulder comfort (Iron Bull manufacturer page)
+Functionality: fits snugly on a 3x3" rack with hitch pins and no excessive play once installed (Garage Gym Life, PR2 rack review)

−Durability: no dedicated long-term review or owner thread specific to the dip station turned up — little independent durability data available yet
−Value: two retailer listings (GymConcepts.ca, XTC Fitness) carry zero customer reviews, so pricing is confirmed but satisfaction is not
−Versatility: single-purpose dip attachment only fits 3x3" racks with 5/8" holes, not compatible with other upright sizes (Iron Bull manufacturer page)
−Build quality: Iron Bull's broader rack/attachment line has drawn some quality-control complaints (missing parts, hardware tolerance issues) from an unrelated Frankenstein rack review — worth noting as brand context, not a dip-station-specific finding (The Jungle Gym Reviews)
