Weight plate 50 mm | cast iron rubberized

The price is per piece — the scope of delivery includes a single weight plate (starting from CHF 5.-). For an even loading of a barbell or curl bar, you need each plate twice; adjust the quantity above accordingly to 2, 4, or more.

Yes, if your bar has a 50 mm sleeve. The stainless steel inner ring with a 51 mm hole diameter fits securely on all standard 50 mm Olympic barbell, dumbbell, and curl bars, as well as plate-loaded machines. They are not suitable for 30 mm bars—there are separate 30 mm collars for those.

No. These cast iron plates are rubberized and are gentler on floors than bare cast iron, but they are not drop-safe — they are no substitute for bumper plates. For deadlifts or Olympic lifts with drops from a height, you should use drop-safe HiTemp Bumper Plates — robust, color-coded, and built precisely for that. These cast iron plates are ideal for bench presses, squats, and machines.

All three are airdroppable and differ in material and application. The HiTemp Bumper Plates (from CHF 20.–) are the robust, color-coded all-rounders with the best price-performance ratio. The solid rubberized black (starting from CHF 25) rely on a simple, uniform design. The Urethane Competition Bumper Plates (starting at CHF 35.-) are IWF-compliant, 100 % odorless, and exceptionally slim—leaving more space on the bar for competition and performance training.

The plates are available in 7 increments: 1.25, 2.5, 5, 10, 15, 20, and 25 kg. This allows you to load in fine steps from your warm-up weight to your heavy set. You select each weight above as a separate option — availability of individual increments may vary.

Starting from 5 kg, the plates have two grip openings — this makes picking them up, changing them, and carrying them much more convenient. The small 1.25 and 2.5 kg plates are too narrow for this and come without grips. Thanks to the holes, the larger plates can also be used for functional exercises such as Russian twists or front raises.

The diameter grows with the weight: 5 kg measures 24 cm, 10 kg 30 cm, 15 kg 36 cm, 20 kg 43.5 cm, and 25 kg 45 cm. Only from about 20 kg do the plates reach the typical „floor height“ of a loaded barbell — lighter plates sit correspondingly lower.

Yes. The rubber coating dampens rattling during loading and protects the floor, bar, and equipment from scratches and dents — quieter and gentler than bare cast iron plates. They are ideally suited for controlled setting down of the bar, just not for dropping it hard.

The rubberized version is quieter, protects the floor and devices, and feels of higher quality. The cheaper blank cast iron disc is more compact in diameter and odorless, but louder and less gentle. For home gyms with sensitive flooring, the rubberized one is usually the better choice.

Best on a record stand — that keeps them sorted, close at hand, and protects the floor. Fitting is the Weight plate rack 50 mm. This way the plates are not lying around loose and you can find every weight immediately.

As with all rubberized weights, a slight rubber odor may occur initially, which will subside after a few weeks. Briefly airing out the training room in the beginning is usually sufficient.
