Olympic rubber-coated weight plate HMS 2.5 kg (model 17-6-204)

Olympic rubber-coated weight plate HMS 2.5 kg (model 17-6-204) is a metal barbell plate with a protective rubber coating designed for use on Olympic bars. The plate provides a compact 2.5 kg loading option for strength training, powerlifting and functional workouts. Its rubber exterior reduces noise and protects training surfaces while the central sleeve fits standard Olympic bar sleeves for secure mounting and compatible stacking with other Olympic plates.

Advantages

The rubber coating helps absorb impact and minimizes floor damage and noise during loading and unloading. The metal core ensures dimensional stability and maintains consistent weight distribution. The plate’s profile and finish allow easy handling and quick change of loads on Olympic barbells, and its 2.5 kg size is suitable for fine weight increments when progressing lifts.

Suitable for

• Incremental weight increases in barbell exercises
• Strength training, powerlifting and Olympic-style workouts
• Home gyms and commercial facilities where floor protection and noise reduction are needed
• Combining with other Olympic rubber or iron plates for balanced loading

Key specifications

• Weight: 2.5 kg
• Construction: metal core with rubber coating
• Compatibility: designed for Olympic bar sleeves (standard internal diameter for Olympic plates)
• Finish: protective rubber exterior to reduce noise and protect flooring
• Use type: designed for barbell loading and free-weight training

How to use

Slide the plate onto the sleeve of an Olympic barbell and secure it with appropriate collars or clips. Use the plate in combination with other Olympic plates to achieve the desired total load. Ensure the plates are fully seated on the sleeve and balanced on both sides before performing lifts. Inspect the rubber coating regularly for cuts or significant wear and replace plates if the integrity of the core or coating is compromised.

Usage recommendations

Store plates on designated racks or vertical posts to prevent deformation. Avoid dropping plates from overhead positions onto hard surfaces to extend the life of the rubber coating. Clean rubber surfaces with mild soap and water and avoid aggressive solvents.
