Loadable Dumbbell Handles
5 products
Loadable dumbbell handles are the backbone of a flexible strength setup. Designed for control and versatility, they let you load or unload weight plates to adjust resistance - giving you the function of a full dumbbell set in one compact design.
Ideal for home gyms, PT studios and commercial facilities, loadable (or adjustable) dumbbell handles are a cost-effective, space-saving solution that scale with your training. Choose from standard 28 mm or Olympic 50 mm dumbbell handles to match your existing plates.
Since 2009, Little Bloke Fitness has supplied commercial-grade gym equipment trusted by lifters, PTs and gym owners across Australia. Every handle we stock has been tested and refined for balance, comfort and long-term durability — gear built to perform day in, day out.

FAQs About Dumbbell Handles
Are loadable dumbbell handles and weights better than fixed dumbbells?
Loadable dumbbell handles are more cost-effective and space efficient, but fixed dumbbells are quicker and more convenient to use, particularly for drop sets and super sets.
Do I need standard or Olympic dumbbell handles?
Our standard dumbbell handles will fit plates with 29-32mm centre holes. Olympic handles fit plates with 50.3-52mm centre holes and are better for heavier training. Often it comes down to what equipment you already have that’s compatible, and budget.
Are collars included with dumbbell handles?
Yes, all our handles include high-quality collars to ensure plates stay safely secured during lifts.
What’s the maximum load for dumbbell handles?
Load capacity varies by handle length and shaft type. Check individual product specifications for exact weight ratings.
