45 lb Bumper Plates45 lb Bumper Plates Vulcan Bumper Plates are built to endure the rigors of Olympic Weightlifting and CrossFit workouts. Unlike lower-priced brands, our bumper plates are made of a harder and denser rubber compound, resulting in a much thinner profile that allows for more plates to fit on the bar. Other brands claim to have equivalent rubber hardness, but their 10 lb and 15 lb bumper plates often "waffle" easily when dropped. Additionally, they offer minimal or no posted warranty on their bumper plates and state that their plates are not made for dropping. Vulcan Bumper Plates are made to be dropped! The typical bumper plate has a thin pressed steel insert that can detach 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 2011, and to this day, we have replaced fewer than two dozen bumper plates out of thousands of tons sold. 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.45 lb Bumper Plates Specifications: Diameter: Made to IWF (International Weightlifting Federation) standard: 450 mm (17.7 inches); Material: Solid rubber bumper plates made from virgin rubber (not recycled); Bounce: Low bounce for safety; Platform Use: Safe for platform use; Testing: Tested to withstand 30,000 drops from a height of 9 feet without deformation or damage; Shore Durometer: A rating of 88.7 - 89.1.

I ordered two pairs of 45lb bumper plates. Quality of them is excellent. Weight is also the exact same on all 4. Overall, very pleased with the plates.

I bought a pair of 35 & 45 lbs., bumper plates after not having access to a gym due to the pandemic. I quickly realized that the quality of both items exceeded my expectation. I have seen many of the various plates on the market and Vulcan product quality is up there with the best. I was also impressed by their timely response to my order as many companies are now struggling to fulfill orders, Vulcan didn't disappoint.

Weight is weight but the Vulcan bumpers are my favorite thanks to them being thinner than my Rogue HG 2.0 and much cooler looking than my Rage Fitness Bumpers. Maybe I’m weird but I wipe off all my new bumpers and Vulcan had the least slick black oil on it of the three I’ve owned. Love these bumpers!

Great bumper plates! I’ve bought the 10,25,45s so far and I am hoping to get more to complete my home gym.

Good set of bumpers, pretty similar to Rogue HG2.0 but cheaper with shipping considered. Vulcan did good job of shipping in a decent amount of time.
