Questions We're Asked
What do dealift platforms look like? How thick do they need to be? How heavy are they? What size are they for my home gym? Do I really need a weightlifting platform?
All questions we get frequently asked prior to customers purchasing. So we thought we'd quickly resolve those here for you:
What Are They?
Essentially they are 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 - which is where you stand.
How Thick?
Typically most 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 heavy weight workouts.
The thicker the platform mats, the more shock absorption and floor protection you get. As with most things, the more you pay the better the quality of the platform.
