The 360 Strength 0.5kg Olympic Rubber Coated Weight Plates are sold as a pair, providing 1kg of total weight for Olympic barbells and compatible plate-loaded equipment. Their smaller weight increment makes them particularly useful for adding weight gradually when progressing between heavier plate sizes.
Manufactured from cast iron with a moulded rubber coating and stainless steel centre bushing, the plates are designed for regular strength training in home gyms and low volume light commercial training environments.
Features
Each plate is manufactured from cast iron with a 3mm moulded rubber coating. The rubber outer surface helps reduce noise during handling while providing an additional layer of protection for the plate and surrounding equipment.
A pressed and flared stainless steel centre bushing reinforces the centre hole and provides a durable contact surface when the plate is repeatedly loaded onto and removed from Olympic sleeves. The 51mm centre hole is designed to fit standard 50mm Olympic barbells and compatible plate-loaded machines.
The 0.5kg plates use a solid design with a raised outer edge, providing a practical grip point when picking up, loading and storing the plates. At 146mm in diameter and 23mm thick, their compact size also allows them to be added alongside larger Olympic plates without taking up significant sleeve space.
Weight markings are embossed in both kilograms and pounds on each side, making the plate size easy to identify when selecting or returning weights. Each plate is manufactured to a weight tolerance of ±3%.
Training Applications
The 0.5kg Olympic Rubber Coated Weight Plates are particularly useful for making smaller increases in barbell weight, with the pair adding a total of 1kg to the bar. They can also be used as part of a complete Olympic weight plate setup across a wide range of strength exercises.
Perfect for:
- Progressive barbell loading
- Squats
- Bench presses
- Deadlifts
- Overhead presses
- Plate-loaded machines
Ideal Training Environments
