HMS weight plate polyurethane 27.5 kg — single 27.5kg plate, model 17-66-200

The HMS weight plate polyurethane 27.5 kg — single 27.5kg plate, model 17-66-200 is a heavy-duty coated plate designed for barbell and strength training. The plate features a polyurethane outer layer that protects against corrosion, reduces noise on contact with gym floors and other equipment, and helps limit surface damage during regular use. Its weight and dimensions are suited for Olympic-style barbell systems and for adding substantial load increments to free-weight workouts in both commercial and home gym environments.

Advantages

The polyurethane coating provides high resistance to wear, abrasion and moisture compared with bare metal plates. The solid construction ensures stable weight distribution and minimal deformation under repeated loading. The protective finish reduces impact noise and prevents direct metal-to-floor contact, contributing to longer equipment and floor lifespan. The plate’s compatibility with standard Olympic bars allows quick and secure load changes.

Suitable for

• Olympic-style barbell training and progressive overload workouts
• Strength training in commercial gyms and home gym setups
• Heavy compound lifts such as squats, deadlifts and bench press
• Situations where floor protection and noise reduction are required

Key specifications

• Net weight: 27.5 kg
• Outer coating: polyurethane for impact and corrosion resistance
• Designed for use with Olympic barbell sleeves
• Construction: solid plate with durable outer layer for repeated loading
• Intended use: free-weight strength training in commercial and home environments

How to use

Slide the plate onto an Olympic bar sleeve and secure it with appropriate collars or clamps before beginning any lift. Ensure the barbell is balanced by adding equal weight to both sides. Use standard safety practices such as spotters for heavy lifts, proper lifting technique and controlled movements. After use, store the plate on a dedicated rack or vertical storage post to avoid unnecessary impact and to maintain the polyurethane finish.

Usage recommendations

Avoid dropping the plate from excessive heights onto hard surfaces to extend the life of the polyurethane coating. Clean the surface occasionally with a mild detergent and a soft cloth; do not use harsh solvents or abrasive brushes. Inspect the plate periodically for damage to the coating and ensure the bar sleeve area remains free from debris for smooth mounting.
