OLYMPIC PLATES

Olympic Plates are available in a variety of styles, colours, finishes, quality of casting, and accuracies as far as indicated and actual weight of the plate. Please review the following which will provide you with an idea of the variations possible:

Standard Steel Olympic Plate:  Painted finish:

                  

  GREY POWDER COAT                   STANDARD BLACK PAINT                                  YORK ISO GRIP                                GYMPAK EASY GRIP

Steel plates as above may be painted black or powder coated with a grey finish.  The actual steel plate may be extensively machined prior to being either painted or powder coated.  A machined plate has had all of the sharp edges produced during the casting process, removed prior to the paint or powder coating being applied.  Many manufactures have moved to manufacture a plate with a design the makes the plate easier to handle such as the Iso Grip plate manufactured by York or  the Easy Grip by Gympak

Note that the quality of the casting will determine the actual weight of the particular plate.  Just because the plate has a weight indicated on it, this does not mean that the posted weight is correct.  The plates that we provide are guaranteed to be + or - 1% by weight.   Also note that if greater accuracy is important for you application, you can spend extra money to purchase calibrated weights.  York manufactures just such a product as illustrated below.  The "two oval shaped" cups on the surface of the plate can be filled with just enough metal to provide the exact weight posted on the plate.

   YORK CALIBRATED PLATES

Olympic Plates are also available with a rubber coated finish. These plates have a core of cast steel that is then coated with rubber.  The design of the plate may vary from one manufacture to another with many manufactures producing designs that make the plates easier to pick up and handle.

     

Bumper plates are Olympic Plates that are formed entirely from rubber.  The rubber plates are formed under very high pressure creating an extremely high density product.  There is no steel in this product.  Unlike the rubber coated cast iron core plate, these plate will not break if dropped.
