PU BUMPER PLATE
Color-coded according to IWF standards. This bumper plates line is made with polyurethane coated. Polyurethane is the best material to produce plates. This material offers outstanding resistance, extraordinary compactness, reduced rebound, no smell, bright colors, no scratches or imperfections, perfect coupling with the steel plate. PU plates are the best possible solution in terms of reliability, aesthetics, and general quality. Thanks to the high density of the material, PU plates are thinner than other standard plates. This feature allows the loading of a barbell with over 350 kg, as if it were a metal plate, but with the benefit of softer support.
As you can see from the picture down below, in the same loading space available (we took as an example the 9015/8 barbell) using the classic Rubber Bumpers which have a thickness of approximately 93.5mm, it’s possible to load 4 Discs of 25Kg each, reaching a total weight including the barbell, of 220Kg. Using instead the PU Bumper plates which are less thick (about 51mm), it’s possible to load 7 for each side, reaching a total weight of 370Kg!
Looking from this perspective, tipical of the Powerlifting, the PU Bumpers can be considered even better than the thinner metal discs: the PolyUrethane cover will be less aggressive on the Lifting Flooring, wearing it a lot less than the metal discs, making it more versatile and adapt to other uses in the Weight Lifting spaces.
For aesthetic reasons, PU Bumper plates are also available in black monochrome with logos and white numbers: 9040/4, 9042/4, 9043/4, 9044/4, 9046/4.
