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?

After waiting a couple of months after purchasing the 230 pound set to arrive, was a bit long for free shipping and my account was never updated. When it arrived I was very pleased with everything. My one issue is that my 10LB bumper plate doesn’t seem to fit properly on my barbell. It gets about a quarter of the way down and it stops. Thinking it might be a problem across the board I tried all the bumper plates, which all fit fine. I don’t understand how one plate wouldn’t fit properly. All the holes are the same size and all the other plates fit fine, so I know it isn’t the barbell. I am happy with the product, especially the price, until I need to add a ten pound plate, such a headache. Just a tip, WD40 doesn’t help. I don’t know if they test for fitting before the ship, but maybe the company might want to take this into consideration.

Quick shipment and let me pickup at another place midway through shipment. Boxes were damaged, but plates were flawless. This served me perfectly. I will definitely make another purchase.

Excellent. I showed up around 1:30pm and order was on cart...brought to my car and loaded. The whole pick-up was less than 10 minutes. I got this set on the same day I ordered it (ordered on line in the morning and picked it up in the afternoon). I wish everything went as smooth as this service.
