Weightlifting Platforms
Not everyone is going to need a weightlifting platform but if you want to protect your gym floors and Olympic weights then you may need a
a deadlift platform appropriate for your strength area to protect the plates as much as the floor. From 30mm to 60mm thick rubber matting, they can be used on top of gym flooring or on their own.

Choosing Your Deadlift / Weight Lifting Platform
Weightlifting platforms add an additional layer of protection for your floor. Designed to absorb and dissipate the energy of loaded Olympic bars, they consist of two rubber strips that sandwich a central wooden platform area that you stand on.
Typically, most lifting platforms are between 30 and 40mm thick. This means you either need to build that into your flooring, or simply have an area where there is a small step up for your heavyweight workouts. If you use our gym design service, we can help you factor considerations like these into your fitness space.
Depth of Lifting Platform
The thicker the lifting platform mat, the more shock absorption and floor protection you get. For professional / commercial facilities, deadlift platform tend to be 60mm to cover even the heaviest of weights. As with most things, the more you pay the better the quality of the platform. We stock weightlifting platforms from top brands like Exigo to ensure you’re only getting the best for your workouts.
