Vulcan Bumper Plates are built to endure
the rigors of Olympic Weightlifting and Cross-Fitness Training workouts. Unlike
other brands, our Bumper Plates are made of a harder and denser rubber
compound. As a result, our Bumper Plates have a much thinner profile and more
plates can be fit on the bar.
Others claim to have equivalent rubber
hardness, but their 10lb and 15lb bumper plates "waffle" easily when
dropped. The typical Bumper Plate has a thin pressed steel insert which will
come out over time with repeated droppings. 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 less than a dozen bumper plates out of
multiple tons of plates sold.
One of the things you will immediately
notice when lifting our bumper plates is how snugly they fit together on the
bar as well as the dead blow/low bounce effect they exhibit when dropped. It's
a very noticeable sound compared to the clanking rattling noise and basketball-like
rebounding you will experience with lesser quality brands.
