Product Information
Full details
These SPORTNOW Olympic Tri-Grip Weight Plates (20kg total, composed of two 2.5kg plates) are designed for fitness enthusiasts looking to add versatile and durable weight options to their home gym or existing barbell setup. The key benefit is their robust construction, floor protection, and easy handling via the tri-grip design, allowing for seamless transitions between exercises and quick loading. A minor caveat is that the 20kg refers to the total weight of two 2.5kg plates, so users seeking a single 20kg plate will need to purchase multiple sets. Key features include solid steel construction with a protective PVC coating, a universal 2-inch center hole, clear kilogram markings, and ergonomic tri-grip handles.

FAQs
What is the total weight if I buy one set?
One set includes two 2.5 kg plates, for a total of 5 kg per set.
Are these plates sold individually?
These are sold as pairs. The '20kg' refers to a set containing two 2.5kg plates, totaling 5kg. To reach 20kg on a barbell, you would need four such sets (8 plates total).
Can I use these with a standard (non-Olympic) barbell?
No, these plates are designed specifically for Olympic barbells with a 2-inch (5 cm) sleeve diameter. They will not fit standard 1-inch barbells.
How do I clean the PVC coating?
Gently wipe the plates with a damp cloth. For tougher grime, use a mild soap and water solution, then rinse and dry thoroughly. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
Will these scratch my hardwood floors?
The PVC coating is designed to protect floors. However, always exercise caution, and ensure the floor is clean and free of grit before placing plates down.
Can the tri-grip holes be used for exercises?
Yes, the ergonomic hand grip holes are designed for easy handling and can be used for various exercises such as plate squats, twists, and overhead presses.
What is the warranty period for these weight plates?
Please refer to the product packaging or manufacturer's website for specific warranty details, as this information is not provided in the product description.
Troubleshooting
Plates feel loose on the barbell.
Ensure you are using a compatible Olympic barbell with a 2-inch sleeve. Always use a secure barbell clamp or collar to firmly secure the plates.
PVC coating appears sticky or discolored.
Wipe the plates with a damp cloth and mild soap. Ensure they are thoroughly dried. Avoid exposure to excessive heat or certain chemicals.
Difficulty loading plates onto the barbell.
Check that the barbell sleeve is clean and free from debris. Ensure the plate's center hole is clear. The 2-inch opening is standard for Olympic equipment.
