Vulcan Bumper Plates are built to endure the rigors of Olympic Weightlifting and CrossFit® workouts. Unlike lower-priced brands, our plates are made from a harder and denser rubber compound, resulting in a thinner profile that allows for more plates to fit on the bar.

Others may claim equivalent rubber hardness, but their 10 lb and 15 lb bumper plates often “waffle” easily when dropped. Typically, bumper plates have thin pressed steel inserts that can come out over time with repeated drops. Our forged solid steel inserts are anchored into the plate. We introduced this technology in 2011, and to date, we have replaced fewer than a dozen plates out of multiple tons sold.

One noticeable feature is how snugly our bumper plates fit together on the bar, along with a dead blow/low bounce effect when dropped. This creates a much quieter experience compared to the clanking and basketball-like rebounding noise of lesser brands.
