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.

I'm very pleased with this set. Though it's only been a few weeks, they seem like very durable, sturdy bumpers that will have a long life. They look and feel great. I had one question about my shipment and I got a response to my email almost immediately, even though it was pretty late at night. I appreciate Vulcan's attention to detail and quality products. I will be buying more in the future.

I received my set very quickly and have used for several workouts now and they have been great. I can tell they're very durable and they should last for a very long time.

First, these are high quality weights--I got them, wiped them off, and used them the same day. Low bounce, quiet, good for drops, and they are very sturdy. The weight variances are all quite accurate, too. Vulcan may not get as much mention as Rogue or Fringesport, but they really are offering a superior product at a better price. These bumpers are perfect for any setting from a garage gym to a commercial affiliate or strongman dungeon. Also, Vulcan helped me out when FedEx lost my first shipment: they took care of everything, and the replacement set was delivered speedily. I will recommend Vulcan to anyone who's looking to purchase fitness equipment, and I expect I'll buy from them again in the future.
