Iconic Cast Iron Weight Plates

If you are putting together a space that has to work every day rather than look good once, the Iconic Cast Iron Weight Plates is worth a close look. It forms part of our weight plates lineup.

What you are getting is a weight plate designed to be used properly and often. It is listed with cast iron construction.

Who it suits

This one suits expanding an existing weight set, and building out a lifting platform. If that describes your setup, it will earn its place.

Getting it in place

Allow floor protection where plates are loaded and unloaded regularly.

Before you decide

Rubber or bumper plates can be dropped and protect flooring; cast iron is more compact for the same weight and usually cheaper.

We stock 57 weight plates between R108 and R8 514; this one is in the middle at R472.

Return plates to a tree rather than stacking on the floor — it is safer and easier on the plates.

For context on how often adults should be training muscle groups, the World Health Organization physical activity guidelines are a sensible, independent starting point.

If you are planning a full setup, Free Weights, Weight Plates, Weights & Bars and Barbells are the sections that usually go with this.

Commercial and home equipment differ mainly in duty cycle — how many hours a day the frame, bearings and upholstery are designed to take. Equipment built for occasional use will usually survive a home routine comfortably but will not last on a busy floor, and the difference shows in the parts you cannot see rather than the finish.

If you want the Iconic Cast Iron Weight Plates checked against your setup before you commit, get in touch. We would rather spend five minutes on measurements than arrange a return.
