Vulcan 280 lb Bumper Plates SetBumper Plate Set Vulcan Bumper Plates 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, allowing more plates to 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 can come out over time with repeated drops. Our inserts are forged solid steel and anchored into the plate. We were the first to introduce this technology in 2010, and many of those original bumper plates are still in circulation. One noticeable feature of our bumper plates is how snugly they fit together on the bar, along with the dead blow/low bounce effect they exhibit when dropped. This creates a distinct sound compared to the clanking and basketball-like rebounding typical of lesser brands. Bumper Plate Set Specifications: Olympic Weight Plate Diameter: Made to IWF (International Weightlifting Federation) standard diameter 450 mm; Material: Solid rubber bumper plates made from virgin rubber (not recycled).; Bounce: Low bounce for safety.; Platform Use: Safe for platform use.; Testing: Vulcan Bumper Plates have been tested to 30,000 drops from a height of 9 feet without deformation of the insert or damage to the rubber surface.; Shore Durometer: A rating of 88.7 - 89.1 What is Shore Durometer? See Here.; Weight Plate Dimensions: Diameter: 450 mm (17.7165"); Collar opening: 50.4 mm; ; Insert Type: Forged stainless steel, not thin pressed or stamped steel like some others. Inserts are actually anchored into the rubber, unlike most which are simply pressed in.; Design: Thinner, low-profile design which allows for fitting more plates on the bar.; Weight Plate Tolerance: 1% of claimed weight.; Use: Suitable for weightlifting, strength training, commercial gym, or home gym use.; Set contains: ; 45 lb (two pair), 25 lb, 15 lb, and 10 lb (one pair); Warranty: 36 months on 45 lb and 25 lb Bumper Plates; 1 year on 10 lb and 15 lb bumper plates;

Very nice to receive plates that are not greasy, have no smell, and are defect-free. I've already come back for more.

so far so good with the weights, I'm glad that I can purchase additional weights at any time. Other sets I saw online you were not able to do that.

Great product, low bounce even when dropped overhead. I'm certain they will last a life time.

The bumper plates are of high quality and got to my location very fast. We have used them quite a bit over the last few weeks and so far have had no problems.

We purchased the 280 lb bumper plates for our home gym and we are VERY pleased with them. We shopped around for a set of plates for a while and Vulcan had the best price and free shipping....you can't beat that! The plates were backorded when we purchased them but once the plates came in they shipped very quickly. There was a problem with the shipper losing 2 boxes and Vulcan was very quick to respond and sent out new weights. Vulcan's customer service was top rate! The plates are well-made and we recommend others in the market for bumper plates to buy Vulcan's weights!
