Overview of the TITAN Dual Station Heavy Bag Boxing Stand

 
The TITAN Dual Station Heavy bag Boxing stand enables you to operate two heavy boxing bags at the same time. It scales up to a maximum of 300 lbs. to take the heaviest bags. The T-shaped design also allows you to move freely around each bag for the full boxing experience. The full specifications of this station are:
 
- Twice the utility of a normal single-arm boxing stand
- Tough steel construction will last for years with proper care
- Sleek powder-coated black paint job adds rust resistance
- Weight capacity (in conjunction with the Boxing Stand) is 300 lbs.
- Stabilizer bar gives additional strength to your boxing stand
 
- Base Plate: 12" x 12"
- Height: 88" or 102"
- Arm Length: 44"
- Capacity: 300 lbs.
- Weight: 115 lbs.
- Material: 11 Gauge Steel
 
 
 
This is a great station to get if the ceiling in your gym is too high to install bags by drilling them overhead. When you get 3 - 6 of these in one line you can train a class without limiting them in circling around the bags. This station is massive and once it is installed it is near to impossible to move. Good for very heavy punches and kicks. Bad if you want a more modular design for your gym.
 
 

Pros of the TITAN Dual Station Heavy Bag Boxing Stand

 
 
  • Outdoor / indoor
  • Symmetric design
  • Bag swings free
 
The dual station heavy bag boxing stand from TITAN can be installed indoors or outdoors on any surface you may like. All you need is the proper equipment to drive the anchors into the ground. If you are not familiar with how to do this and do not have the equipment I recommend that you get a handyman/woman to do the installation for you.
 
This boxing stand is symmetric in its design which makes it easier to keep people apart for group training and organize space. Putting a couple of these up in a line can create a safe and controllable group training environment where athletes can bob and weave while still being observed by the coach.
 
Compared to other installations where you might have the uprights getting in the way or you are too close to the wall,  in this setup, the bags are swinging freely. Definitely worth it, especially if you have no other place to mount your boxing bags.
 

Cons of the TITAN Dual Station Heavy Bag Boxing Stand

 
 
  • Anchored to ground
  • Big construction
  • Price
 
This boxing stand needs to be anchored to the ground. This means you either need to spend money on someone who has the tools, rent the tools, or buy them yourself. If you are a savvy builder yourself that is no problem, but if you are not this will add another $100 - $300 to the buy price depending on which route you pick and who is available in your local area. Once you have installed it, it will stay where it is and not move anywhere else. This is great when you are a world-class martial artist who abuses this thing daily. Not so great if you run 5 - 6six classes a day with varying skill levels and class sizes. Then you might want to move it out of the way from time to time.
 
The construction is big and therefore not ideally suited for any basement gym or dingy dungeon with low ceilings. Pay attention to the height and if your ceiling is already low, you might as well utilize it to hang bags from. No need to get this rig, if you can plaster your ceiling with sandbag anchors as these also are not in the way, once you remove the bag for a bigger class.
 
Remember that you are paying $300 just for the rig in this setup. For that money, you can get a complete kit of gloves, guards, and a bag in some shops. Just be smart about what else you can get for your money, especially if you have to equip an entire boxing / martial arts gym for multiple purposes.
 

Alternatives to the TITAN Dual Station Heavy Bag Boxing Stand

 
 
 
 
The heavy-duty four bag boxing stand is the flagship boxing stand from TITAN. You will get a complete rig with four eye hooks to put a bag on. This is the ideal station for a home gym of a dedicated martial artist who wants to have variation in the bags he/she trains on. It can also be a good station to house all of your specialty punching bags in a space-efficient manner. The disadvantages of this rig are that the uprights can be in the way of a proper boxing drill and that you pay almost $600 just for infrastructure and no bags. If you can install them on the ceiling it is cheaper and more modular.
 
The adjustable heavy bag boxing stand is the one bag alternative to the dual station. If you lack the space for the dual station and clearly want a bag on a massive stand, go for this one. Otherwise, get the Dual station as the amount of hassle to install is the same, but the price is only minimally higher. In return, you get two hooks to hang bags from.
 
The dual station for boxing speed bag and heavy bag from TITAN is the free-standing option that can take a speed bag and heavy bag. This rig does not need to be bolted to the ground and provides two eyehooks for your bags.  Besides, it comes in at about $160 which is a considerable amount of money to save compared to the dual station for $400. If you have an honest look at your physic and your technique, do you really need a fish trailer hook to keep your bag in place? In most cases, the answer will be no. Still, this station is more likely to move around when you give it a proper beating.
 
The RDX free standing punching bag is an option that provides a pinching bag with suction cups for indoor use. The base can be weighted down with sand or water. For the price of the dual station, you can get about two of these.  The advantage is that these stand by themselves and can be moved out of the way if you need to. The disadvantage is that the base provides you to get really close to the bag for practicing close uppercuts or moving in and out of clinches.
 
The RDX Heavy punching bag can be gotten in various sets. For nearly $200 you can get a full set with gloves, a punching bag, and 15 other pieces to get it mounted to the ceiling or wall. If you are a beginner this is a better option to get your boxing gym started as long as you can drill the bag into the wall or ceiling.
 
The RDX hanging filled face is a special bag that simulates the shape of a body. This can also be gotten with anchors to mount it to a wall or the ceiling. If you are looking into the dual station to be able to have different bags in your gym, you might want to consider this as an alternative.
 

Conclusion for the TITAN Dual Station Heavy Bag Boxing Stand

 
This is a good investment for a gym that needs to provide for multiple free-swinging boxing bags and can build an alleyway with three to six of these. Especially if your ceiling is too high to hang any bags from. If you have low ceilings you are probably better off to get a proper anchor for your heavy bags for overhead. If you want to keep things modular in your gym this station is not a good option as it needs to be anchored to the ground.
