Lifting Platforms
Not everyone is going to need a lifting platform, but if you regularly perform heavy deadlifts or Olympic lifts, one can help protect both your gym floor and your equipment. Available in rubber thicknesses from 30mm to 60mm, these platforms can be used on top of existing gym flooring or as a standalone lifting surface.

A deadlift platform provides a durable, cushioned surface that helps absorb and dissipate the impact of dropped weights, protecting both your gym floor and your equipment. Weightlifting platforms typically consist of two rubber strips that sandwich a central wooden platform where you stand, creating a stable surface for heavy deadlifts and lifting with Olympic weights.
The thicker the lifting platform mat, the more shock absorption and floor protection you get. For professional/commercial facilities, deadlift platforms tend to be 60mm to cover even the heaviest of weights.
Typically, most lifting platforms are between 30 and 40mm thick. This means you either need to build the additional height into your flooring or allow for a small step up in the area used for heavyweight workouts. Dropped weights also create noise and vibration, so it is worth considering whether you need acoustic wall panels for your gym. If you use our gym design, PT studio or home gym design service, we can help you factor considerations like these into your fitness space.
