230 lb Bumper Plate Set230 lb Bumper Plate Set Vulcan Bumper Plates Sets are built to endure the rigors of Olympic Weightlifting. Unlike lower priced brands, our Bumper Plates are made of a harder and denser rubber compound. As a result, our Bumper Plates have a much thinner profile and more plates can be fit on the bar . Others claim to have equivalent rubber hardness, but their 10 lb and 15 lb bumper plates "waffle" easily when dropped. The typical Bumper Plate has a thin pressed steel insert which will come out over time with repeated droppings. Our inserts are forged solid steel and anchored into the plate. We were the first to introduce this technology in 2010 and to this day we still have gyms using the original Vulcan Bumper plates from our first batch. One of the things you will immediately notice when lifting our bumper plates is how snugly they fit together on the bar as well as the dead blow/low bounce effect they exhibit when dropped. It's a very noticeable sound compared to the clanking rattling noise and basketball-like rebounding you will experience with lesser brands. Bumper Plate Set Specifications: Made to IWF (International Weightlifting Federation) Standard diameter 450mm (17.7165 inch).; Solid Rubber Bumper Plates made from virgin rubber not recycled rubber.; Low bounce for safety; Safe for platform use; Vulcan Bumper Plates have been tested to 30,000 drops from a height of 9 feet without any deformation of the insert or damage to the rubber surface.; Shore Durometer A 88.7 - 89.1 What is Shore Durometer? See Here.; Plate diameter: 450mm (17.7") - Collar opening: 50.4mm; Insert type: Forged Stainless Steel, not a thin pressed or stamped steel like some others Inserts are actually anchored into the rubber, unlike most which are simply pressed in; Plates have a thinner, low-profile design which allows you to fit more on the bar; Weight tolerance: +/- 1 % of claimed weight; For: Weightlifting, strength training, commercial gym, or home gym use; Warranty: 36 months on 45 lb, and 25 lb Bumper Plates; 1 year on 10 lb bumper plates; Set contains: 45 lb, 35 lb, 25 lb and 10 lb bumper plates (one pair of each); Contact Us if you need a quote for shipping outside the Continental US.

was quoted free shipping on a $1500 order, ordered first week of august. was not informed until september that there would be an extra $100 fee for shipping, which was never quoted to us. Paid $100 fee for shipping immediately, was still 2 weeks before delivered to our school. when finally delivered to our school, they had no way to get 1000+ lbs off of the truck, so they just dumped it in front of our weight room, and our students had to unload all of it into the weight room. if you are ordering in bulk from this company, you are getting yourself into a huge mess. vehemently do not recommend.

Corey, We definitely did not quote you free shipping. It clearly states on the product page that there is an additional charge of $65 per set. We only charged you $100 instead of the $260. We called your school and notified them of the fuel surcharge but unfortunately the message was not given to you or either you failed to respond to it. You did not respond to email we sent you either. There was other faculty that did call on your behalf and finally rectified the payment that was required. Corey, please read the product page that you ordered from as well as your order confirmation that you received. It clearly states that YOU and not the driver are responsible for unloading the truck unless you request a lift gate which you did not. We are sorry this was an inconvenience for you but it could have been easily resolved if you had responded to our emails and calls as well as reading the website and your order confirmation.

I purchased a 230 lb bumper plates set and the Vulcan One bar. Everything shipped Fed Ex and only took five days from placing the order to receiving the shipment. The bumper plates are great quality (low bounce and noise when dropped on rubber mats). The bar is very nice as well. The knurling has that perfect balance of providing solid grip, but without destroying your hands and shins. The spin on the bar is also very nice for cleans and snatches. I will definitely be purchasing more plates in the future.

Researched alot of sets as a gift for my sons home gym and decided to purchase from Vulcan. He said that he liked Rogue and that would be what he would buy. After receiving the bumper plate set he said that he was surprised at the quality and design of the Vulcan plates and said he really liked them a lot.
