We've been supplying bumper plates since 2006, and we've tried all the different designs. What works for weightlifting might not stand up to cross training, where the reps are much higher and the plates are hitting the ground a lot more. Long lasting bumper plates differ in two main ways:

-The use of higher quality Shure hardness 92AhA rubber

-Adequate centre support with 200mm diameter steel hubs

These plates utilise a large central hub to distribute the impact load when the plate hits the floor. These bumpers wont twist/buckle on impact, so the centres won't fall out with long term use. We use high quality rubber which is able to handle multiple impacts in a commercial environment. As a result, these plates are rated for 30,000 cycles.

Bumper plate thicknesses:

-10kg: 30mm

-15kg: 42mm

-20kg: 51mm

-25kg: 57mm
