Weight Plate Cast Iron 20 kg, Sportop, 26 mm Bore

Sportop Weight Plate Cast Iron 20 kg with a 26 mm bore is a solid, single-disc plate designed for strength training on standard straight bars with a 26 mm sleeve diameter. Manufactured from cast iron, this 20 kg plate provides consistent mass and a compact profile suitable for barbell exercises at home or in a commercial gym. Its 26 mm central hole fits most non-Olympic bars and allows secure stacking for progressive loading during squats, deadlifts, bench press and other compound lifts.

Advantages

The cast iron construction ensures durability and long service life under frequent loading and handling. The 26 mm bore is made to precise dimensions to reduce play on compatible bars and to facilitate easy plate changes. The plate's solid design offers a compact form factor that saves space on the bar and enables close-loading for balanced weight distribution. Its uniform mass and finished surface contribute to predictable performance during repetitions and sets.

Suitable for

• Barbell squats and deadlifts on 26 mm sleeve straight bars

How to use

Slide the Sportop 20 kg plate onto a compatible 26 mm sleeve bar until it rests securely against the bar collar or previously loaded plates. Use spring or locking collars to secure the plate and prevent axial movement during lifts. When changing load, remove collars first and slide plates off one at a time, keeping hands clear of the bar path. For storage, stack plates flat or use a plate tree to avoid surface damage.

Usage recommendations

Inspect plates periodically for cracks or severe corrosion before use. Pair the 20 kg plate with matching-diameter plates for even loading and keep collars tightened for safety. Avoid dropping cast iron plates from height; use appropriate lifting technique and protective flooring to reduce impact and prolong plate life.
