Overview
The Rogue Rig Mount Speed Bag Platforms are heavy-duty, professional-grade boxing attachments designed to integrate seamlessly into an existing Rogue strength sub-structure. By mounting directly to the uprights of a rack or rig, these platforms provide a rock-solid, vibration-resistant station for speed bag training without the need for a dedicated wall-mounted unit or standalone frame.

Key Features and Specifications
Compatibility: Available in two distinct versions: Monster (for 3x3” uprights with 1” hardware) and Monster Lite (for 3x3” uprights with 5/8” hardware).
Platform Material: 1-¾” thick Red Oak wood platform, finished with a clear coat for maximum durability and a consistent rebound.
Platform Diameter: 24” circular hitting surface.
Steel Construction: 5/16” thick laser-cut steel mounting brackets and a 3/16” thick steel top plate.
Swivel System: Includes a high-speed, heavy-duty metal swivel for fluid, multi-directional movement.
Mounting Versatility: Can be mounted to any 3x3" upright; the adjustable design allows users to set the platform at the ideal height for their reach.
Hardware: All necessary mounting hardware (bolts and washers) for the specific series is included.
Origin: Made in the USA.
Performance Benefits
Superior Rebound: The 1-¾” thick solid Red Oak minimizes energy loss upon impact, providing a faster, more predictable bounce essential for high-level rhythm and hand-eye coordination drills.
Vibration Dampening: Unlike lightweight home units, the heavy-gauge steel brackets and solid wood mass significantly reduce vibration and noise, ensuring the energy stays in the bag rather than shaking the rack.
Space Efficiency: Ideal for multi-sport facilities or garage gyms where wall space is limited; it utilizes the structural integrity of the rack to save floor space.
Stability: When mounted to a floor-bolted Rogue rack, the platform offers a level of stability that rivals commercial wall-mounted boxing stations.
Maintenance and Care
Wood Surface: Periodically wipe the Red Oak platform with a dry or slightly damp cloth to remove dust. Avoid using saturating cleaners that could warp the wood or affect the finish.
Swivel Lubrication: To maintain high-speed performance and prevent squeaking, apply a drop of light machine oil or silicone lubricant to the swivel pivot points every 3–6 months.
Hardware Tension: Due to the repetitive, high-frequency vibrations of speed bag work, check the mounting bolts connecting the platform to the rack monthly to ensure they remain tight.
Storage: If the platform is installed in a non-climate-controlled garage, monitor the wood for signs of expansion or contraction; avoid direct exposure to water.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does the platform include the speed bag? A: No. The platform, swivel, and mounting hardware are included, but the speed bag itself must be purchased separately.
Q: Can I mount the Monster Lite version to an Infinity (2x3") rack? A: No. These brackets are specifically formed to wrap around a 3x3” upright. Using them on a smaller upright will result in instability and potential damage to the hardware.
Q: Is the height adjustable once it is installed? A: The height is adjustable by moving the entire bracket assembly up or down the holes on your rack's upright. This requires loosening and re-tightening the mounting bolts.
Q: Why choose Red Oak over plastic or laminate platforms? A: Solid Red Oak provides a denser, heavier surface that absorbs less energy, resulting in a "true" rebound that is much faster and quieter than hollow or synthetic alternatives.
