15KG Olympic Weight Plate Pair

15KG Olympic Weight Plate Pair manufactured with heavy duty steel and encased with impact resistant rubber coating, to prevent damage to plates and floors.

These weight plates are extremely durable and can tolerate even the most demanding commercial environment.
The weight is clearly displayed with large numbers for quick identification.

• Weight: 15 kg per plate (30 kg total for the pair).
• Design: Usually rubber-coated to reduce noise and protect flooring, with a solid iron/steel core.
• Center Hole: 51mm–52mm (2 inch) diameter.
• Grip Type: Tri-grip (three cut-out handles) for easy loading and handling.
• Center Ring: Often reinforced with stainless steel or metal bushings for smooth loading.
• Usage: Suitable for Olympic barbells, plate-loaded machines, and functional training

A weight plate is a flat, heavy object, usually made of cast iron, that is used in combination with barbells or dumbbells to produce a bar with a desired total weight for the purpose of physical exercise.

Two general categories exist: “standard” plates, which have a center hole of approximately 25 mm (one inch), and “Olympic” plates, meant to fit on the 50 mm (two inches) sleeves of Olympic barbells. Standard plates are usually paired with adjustable dumbbells and Olympic plates with full-size barbells, although standard barbells and Olympic dumbbells exist.

Weight plates may incorporate holes for ease of carrying (called “grip plates”) or be solid discs (especially those used for competition). Non-competition plates often have variable diameters and widths, such as on the adjustable dumbbells pictured right, with heavier plates generally being larger in diameter, thickness, or both. Weight plates are typically round, although 12-sided and other polygonal varieties exist. Most plates are coated with enamel paint or hammerstone to resist corrosion; more expensive varieties may be coated with chrome, rubber, or plastic.
