How this list is chosen
Every rack or pair of stands in our index whose manufacturer states that a pull-up bar is included.
The list is not ranked: products with photographs come first, then each group is in name order. We haven't tested these products; every figure comes from a checked product page, linked from each product profile. How we build shortlists.

About this list
A pull-up bar on the rack saves buying a separate bar or tower. The rack's height then decides both whether it fits the room and whether you can do a full pull-up under the ceiling.
Having a bar isn't the same as having a rating for it. Where a brand gives a separate pull-up figure it is usually lower than the frame's, and many brands don't state one at all.
Before you buy
- A pull-up bar on the rack saves floor space and the cost of a separate bar.
- A full pull-up needs headroom above the bar, so the rack's height and your ceiling decide whether it's usable.
- A rack's load figure may not cover its pull-up bar. Where a brand gives a separate pull-up rating, it is usually lower.
- Kipping and other swinging movements put different forces on a rack. The brand's instructions say what it allows.
Notes on the list
- BodyMax CF375 Power Rack
Narrow and wide chinning grips, rated at about 110 kg, below the 136 kg rack rating.
- BodyMax CF470 Heavy Half Power Rack
Pull-up bar on a 2.15 m half rack; BodyMax does not define its 363 kg figure.
- BodyMax CF475 Power Rack
Multi-grip pull-up bar. BodyMax's 280 kg figure covers user and weights on the frame, not the bar specifically.
Couldn't confirm
These may qualify, but a figure the rule needs isn't published or sources disagree. Ask the seller before relying on them.
- BodyMax CF310 Home Squat Stands
Pull-up bar not published. BodyMax does not mention a pull-up bar on these stands.
- BodyMax CF315 Squat Stands and Dip Rack
Pull-up bar not published.
- BodyMax CF480 Heavy Duty Multi Press Walk-In Squat Rack
Pull-up bar not published.
What this list doesn't check
- A rack's height isn't the headroom a pull-up needs. Allow for your own height above the bar, or check the brand's ceiling advice where given.
- Pull-up bar ratings, where stated, are separate from the frame's load figure and usually lower.
- Load figures are the brands' own claims, not tested ratings.
