Anyone know a company that makes one?

I don't have that rack but I had dip bars custom made for mine. It sits on the safety pins and didn't cost much.

Give a call to Rick from EdgeFitness or Dean from BlackWidowTrainingGear. They'll probably be able to custom make dip attachment for you at reasonable price.

It does not even truly lock in place. It does not have the standard 2x2 or 3x3 or even 3x2 steel with a hole as most designs do. I suspect Black Widow make work with you if you send them all the exact measurements, but Rick (who I think if a good guy) seems too busy to bother making something so custom for someone else's rack.

I know, ive owned a HS rack before. It would be easy to make a setup to fit/secure in place.
Grab the next biggest size tube steel, cut off a side, put in teflon inserts of correct thickness to fit "snug", tap the opposite side and screw in 2 bolts spaced to fit in the slide-in slots. Then weld the dip handles to the side opposite the bolts.
BUT, finding tube steel of the right size, without having to buy a whole length would be the annoying part. Of course you could also take plate and just make a c-channel via welding it.()---() York Barbell Club #37 ()---()

I reached-out to Hammer Strength last month about getting a set of those handles for my OHDPR8 rack and this is the response I got:
########
Thanks for contacting Life Fitness/Hammer Strength with your question. Yes, you can purchase the HDRDIP handles for your rack directly from here at Life Fitness. Hammer Strength pieces have about an 8-10 week lead time. The reverse dip handles sell for $299, plus shipping and local sales tax.
If you have other questions or want to order, just let me know.
Be well,
Mike Kamin

$300 seemed excessive to me but I'm starting to scratch my head as to how I can find something else that will work. I was thinking of just taking one of the J-hooks and sending it to a custom fabricator so they can get whatever measurements they might need.

The standalone dip stand will probably be the logical next step for me unless someone drops a fat bag of loot in my lap. I was cracking up when I saw the $300 pricetag for the handles though...

Michael,
I knew Hammer Strength gear was pricey but $300 (plus tax and shipping haha) for a pair of dip handles? These must be forged by Hephaestus himself. I paid $650 for the entire rack! What a shame-- I figured they'd be pricey but if they were $150 or below I figured I could splurge on them to have a matching set-- I never would have guessed $300. I'm sorry to have wasted your time Michael.
Take it easy and have a happy turkey day!
--------
Eric,
No problem, it wasn't a waste of time. Nobody ever said Hammer Strength equipment wasn't pricey. But it is the best.
Have a Happy Thanksgiving too.

At least the guy was nice about it.

At first I thought the price was outrageous, but after seeing what others charge for just J-hooks, the $299 price tag seems to be acceptable, kind of.

There seem to be big margins in accessories.
Maybe someone could organize a group buy with a fabricator to make it more worth the fabricator's time. I don't have the dip attachment but the j-hooks are substantial -- probably 15-20 lb each.

Does anybody have any experience with West Cary Barbell? After hunting around on the net today I figured out that they are 20 minutes away from me. I can go over there with one of my J-hooks for them to get measurements off of no shipping or anything. Here was their custom order page: westcarybarbell.com/index.php?main_page=contact_us&zenid=av8kle48r13ul 1jna9u49cgu21

Here's a quick album I made with pictures of some measurements from the J-hooks and some hand sketches of important dimensions needed for a re-create.

I wish I would just hit 50 posts already.
Talked with the gent from West Cary Barbell today on the phone, seemed promising, I'll keep you guys posted. I'll have to ask about recreating J-hooks as well since you're basically making J-hooks already when you're creating something that has to lock-in to the rack.

Ive had trouble finding an attachment for my Atlantis rack so I decided to build my own. I spent the last couple weeks building it in my spare time and finally got it done today. Needs some cleaning and a finish, but I love it already. It is way overbuilt.

Looks badass, powercoat it black and start selling LOL
Got a reply from BWTG today saying they need a J-hook from the HDPR8 rack to properly build a dip attachment that would fit. Also got a reply from a local fabriactor who said they can weld but not bend pipes. I sent them a pic of the juggernaut version to see if they could do that since I could just loan them one of my J-hooks to measure.
