Compare weight plates for your home or commercial gym, including Olympic plates, standard plates, bumper plates and fractional plates. Start with your bar or machine's loading size, then choose the weights, materials and quantities for your setup.
Match your plates with compatible barbells. Planning a larger facility? Speak with our commercial gym fitout team.
Choose weight plates for your equipment
-
Olympic and standard plates: Match the stated centre hole diameter to your bar sleeves or machine loading pegs. Do not rely on the category name alone.
-
Bumper plates: Check the intended lifting use and the manufacturer's dropping restrictions. A bumper plate does not make every floor or lifting area suitable for dropped weights.
-
Coated and cast iron plates: Compare the finish, grip design, dimensions and care requirements listed for each product.
-
Fractional plates: Compare smaller weight increments and check compatibility with your bar.
Plan your plate set
Check whether each price is for a single plate, a pair or a package. Read the package breakdown rather than assuming the total weight includes a bar. Consider the increments you need and how the plates will be stored.
Compare plate thickness with your available sleeve length. For a shared gym, consider the number of training stations and how many people will need the same weights at once.
Weight plate buying questions
Will these plates fit my barbell or machine?
Check the plate's centre hole measurement against the loading sleeve or peg specification. Ask our team to confirm compatibility if either measurement is unclear.
Can all weight plates be dropped?
No. Follow the manufacturer's guidance for the plate, bar, flooring and platform. Coating alone does not confirm that a plate is designed for dropping.
How do I compare plate packages?
Compare the number of plates, weight of each plate, total package weight and included accessories. Confirm delivery options for your postcode before ordering.
