A new standard in plate performance

Eleiko IWF Competition Plates set a higher standard for performance and durability utilizing our proprietary SBR rubber, a new patented design which distributes impact force, and precision engineered zinced steel hubs. A bigger edge radius makes it easier to pick up the plate from the platform or floor and the grooved rim supports a firm grip for better handling.

Slimmer Profiles The plates are thinner to support heavier lifts. The thickness for each plate is 35mm - 10 kg, 39mm - 15kg, 50mm - 20kg and 58mm – 25kg. You can load 215 kg onto the 15 kg bar and 290 kg onto the 20 kg bar. This redesign allows +20 kg to be added to current world record lifts. Precision Engineered Plates range from 10kg – 25kg and are approved by the IWF and certified for competition. We calibrate them beyond the IWF standard and now hold an exacting tolerance of +/- 0.05%. The plates measure 450mm in diameter with a 50.5mm (+/- 0.5%.) center hole for a precise and secure fit on the bar sleeve.

Print and Customization Plates have a smooth surface more easily tailored with custom designs for competitions and training facilities. The print is also more durable for longer lasting graphics as well. Plates can be tailored with custom prints on the rubber or decals on the hubs.

Previous versions of our competition plates were tested with 5,000 drops. We test plates by dropping them from 2 meters onto our wooden competition platform. With the new plates, we reached 100,000 drops with no damage. We increased the warranty to an industry leading 10 years.
