Olympic Plates

Three moulded handles turn a heavy plate into something you can carry safely with one hand. Tri-grip plates are the most practical format for home gyms, because plates get loaded, unloaded and moved far more often than they get lifted on a bar.

KEY FEATURES

Three ergonomic handles for safe one-handed carrying
Cast iron core with a thick bonded rubber coating
Olympic 2-inch bore fits all standard Olympic barbells
Rubber coating protects flooring and reduces noise
Weight range from 1.25kg to 25kg
Doubles as a standalone weight for carries and lunges

PRODUCT OVERVIEW

Handling is the underrated part of plate ownership. A 20kg bare cast iron disc has no grip point at all, so it gets pinched between fingertips and dropped on toes. Tri-grip plates solve that with three moulded cut-outs, which makes loading a bar at chest height on a rack meaningfully safer, and makes carrying two plates across a garage a non-event.

The rubber coating over a cast iron core adds floor protection and noise reduction, and it stops the iron rusting in a damp space. The trade-off against bare cast iron is thickness: a rubber-coated tri-grip plate takes more sleeve length per kilogram, which becomes a limitation only at genuinely heavy loads.

TRAINING APPLICATION

Beyond barbell work, tri-grip plates are useful implements in their own right. The handles make plate front raises, plate lunges, overhead carries, halo circles and plate-loaded step-ups straightforward, which is why they are common in functional and circuit settings. On the bar they serve every standard lift, from squats and presses to rows and rack pulls.

HOW TO CHOOSE?

Choose tri-grip if you value handling safety, train alone, or move plates frequently between a rack and a bar. Choose bare cast iron if you are chasing maximum loadable weight per sleeve or the lowest cost per kilogram. Choose bumper plates if you drop the bar. Tri-grip is generally the best all-round choice for a home gym that is not focused on Olympic lifting.

FAQs

What does tri-grip mean?

Three moulded handles cut into the plate body, allowing it to be carried and loaded safely with one hand.

Can tri-grip plates be dropped?

They are more forgiving than bare cast iron, but they are not bumper plates. Do not drop them from overhead or use them for Olympic lifting.

Do they fit a standard one-inch bar?

No. These have an Olympic 2-inch bore for 50mm barbell sleeves.

Are they good for exercises without a barbell?

Yes. The handles make plate carries, front raises, halos and lunges practical, which is why they are popular in circuit training.

Questions & answers

Will Tri-Grip Olympic Weight Plates fit my bar?

Tri-Grip Olympic Weight Plates have a 2-inch (50mm) bore, so they fit any Olympic barbell, EZ curl bar or trap bar with 50mm sleeves. They will not fit 1-inch standard or spinlock bars.

What are the dimensions of Tri-Grip Olympic Weight Plates?

Tri-Grip Olympic Weight Plates measure: 1.25kg 16.5cm diameter, 2.4cm wide; 2.5kg 20.5cm, 3.2cm; 5kg 25cm, 3.7cm; 10kg 32cm, 4.6cm; 15kg 36cm, 5.2cm; 20kg 41cm, 5.8cm; 25kg 44cm, 6cm. The rubber coating makes them thicker than bare cast iron, so they use more sleeve length per kilogram.

Which Tri-Grip Olympic Weight Plates set should I buy?

Tri-Grip Olympic Weight Plates sets: 15kg (4×1.25kg, 4×2.5kg); 45kg adds 2×5kg and 2×10kg; 60kg (2×5, 2×10, 2×15kg); 75kg (4×1.25, 4×2.5, 2×10, 2×20kg); 100kg (2×5 to 2×20kg); 150kg adds 2×25kg. Choose by the loads you will use. Each set shows its own price on this page as you select it.

How much do Tri-Grip Olympic Weight Plates cost per kilogram?

Tri-grip plates hold a steady cost per kilogram across the sets, and the heaviest pairs work out a little cheaper per kilogram than the lighter ones. Of the three Olympic formats, tri-grip is the dearest per kilogram, cast iron the cheapest and rubber bumper in between. Every pair and set shows its own price on this page when you select it, so the comparison is always against current figures.

Can I drop Tri-Grip Olympic Weight Plates?

No. Tri-Grip Olympic Weight Plates are rubber-coated cast iron, more forgiving than bare iron but not bumper plates. Do not drop them from overhead or use them for Olympic lifting. For cleans, snatches or dropped deadlifts choose Olympic Bumper Weight Plates.

Do Tri-Grip Olympic Weight Plates protect the floor and reduce noise?

Yes. The bonded rubber coating on Tri-Grip Olympic Weight Plates cushions contact with flooring, reduces the clatter of loading and stops the cast iron core rusting in a damp garage. Rubber matting under the bar is still recommended for any heavy work.

How are Tri-Grip Olympic Weight Plates delivered?

Tri-Grip Olympic Weight Plates ship free anywhere in Great Britain, including the Scottish Highlands and Islands; Northern Ireland is priced by weight at checkout. Order by 2pm Monday to Friday for same-working-day dispatch; standard delivery takes 2 to 5 working days after dispatch, and express (Great Britain only where available, priced by order weight and shown at checkout) takes 1 to 2 working days.

What are the returns and warranty terms for Tri-Grip Olympic Weight Plates?

You have 180 days to return Tri-Grip Olympic Weight Plates. You pay return postage unless it is faulty; if it is faulty or incorrect the return is free. Cover is your statutory consumer rights rather than a separate manufacturer's warranty. Prices include VAT. Klarna is offered at checkout on eligible orders; trade quotes on request.

What can I do with tri-grip plates without a barbell?

Plate front raises, plate lunges, overhead carries, halo circles, plate-loaded step-ups and Russian twists: the three moulded handles make a plate a safe hand-held implement, which is why tri-grip plates are common in circuit and functional settings.

What is in each tri-grip plate set?

15 kg set: 4 x 1.25 kg and 4 x 2.5 kg. 45 kg set: 4 x 1.25, 4 x 2.5, 2 x 5 and 2 x 10 kg. 60 kg set: 2 x 5, 2 x 10 and 2 x 15 kg. 75 kg set: 4 x 1.25, 4 x 2.5, 2 x 10 and 2 x 20 kg. 100 kg set: 2 x 5, 2 x 10, 2 x 15 and 2 x 20 kg. 150 kg set: 2 x 5, 2 x 10, 2 x 15, 2 x 20 and 2 x 25 kg.

What does tri-grip mean?

Three moulded handles cut into the plate body so a heavy plate can be carried and loaded safely with one hand. A bare 20 kg cast iron disc has no grip point at all, which is how plates get pinched between fingertips and dropped on toes.

How much sleeve length do tri-grip plates use?

More than bare cast iron: the 25 kg tri-grip is 6 cm wide against 3.66 cm for the 25 kg cast iron plate, and the 20 kg is 5.8 cm. On a 39 cm sleeve that limits how much weight fits, which only matters at genuinely heavy loads.

Do tri-grip plates rust?

The rubber coating over the cast iron core stops the iron rusting in a damp space and protects the floor, but store them dry: rust from wet storage is a warranty exclusion.

Are tri-grip plates suitable for Olympic lifting?

No. They are more forgiving than bare cast iron but they are not bumper plates, so do not drop them from overhead or use them for cleans and snatches; buy the Olympic Bumper Weight Plates for that.

Which plates should a home gym buy: tri-grip, cast iron or bumper?

Tri-grip is generally the all-round choice for a home gym that is not focused on Olympic lifting: safer handling, quieter, floor-friendly. Choose cast iron for maximum loadable weight per sleeve or lowest cost per kilogram, and bumpers if you drop the bar.
