Manufactured from solid steel with a slim profile, calibrated plates allow significantly more weight to be loaded onto the bar. This makes them ideal for heavy squats, deadlifts, and bench press sessions where standard plates or bumpers would limit total load. The reduced width also creates a tighter, more stable setup on the bar, which is especially important when lifting at higher intensities.
 
Each plate features a rubber outer band which follows Olympic colour standards, making weight identification quick and easy in both training and competition-style environments. While the plates themselves are steel rather than coloured, the colour-coded bands retain the classic calibrated look lifters expect.
 
Steel calibrated plates are most commonly used in powerlifting-focused gyms, strength and conditioning facilities, and by athletes preparing for competitions. They are also a popular choice for lifters who want to replicate competition conditions in training and track progress with confidence.
 
Sold in complete 200kg sets, these plates are a practical, space-efficient solution for lifters who prioritise accuracy, performance, and heavy lifting.
 
We also offer a bespoke branding option on our steel calibrated plates, This allows your logo or branding to be added to the plates while retaining the same competition-style finish and performance. Bespoke branded plates are produced within the same 12 week lead time and are available for a one-off £150 branding fee per order.
 
Our steel calibrated plates are manufactured to order to ensure consistent quality and accuracy across every set. Due to this production process, please allow a lead time of approximately 12 weeks from order confirmation to delivery.
