Why Choose Tri-Grip Weight Plates?
The clue is in the name: three integrated handles cast into each plate. Those grips turn the most awkward part of barbell training — picking plates off the floor, carrying them across the gym and threading them onto the sleeve — into something you can do securely with one hand on smaller plates. Loading and unloading between sets gets quicker, and there is far less chance of a plate slipping from your fingers onto your toes.
Our Olympic rubber tri-grip plates start from £7.99, so upgrading from bare metal does not carry much of a premium. The handles also make the plates themselves useful for carries and raises when the bar is racked.
Rubber-Coated Cast Iron: Built for Busy Gyms
Each tri-grip plate is cast from iron and finished in a tough rubber coating. The iron core keeps the plate slim and accurate on the bar; the rubber skin is what your floor, rack and other plates will thank you for. Set a coated plate down on rubber tiles or lean it against a rack and it stays quiet and mark-free, which is why this style is a fixture in group training studios and commercial facilities as well as home gyms.
One thing the coating does not do is make them droppable — for lifts you bail out of at the top, look at our bumper plates instead, or compare every style in the full weight plates collection.
Do Tri-Grip Plates Fit Olympic Bars?
Yes — these plates have the Olympic 50mm bore, sized for standard 7ft barbells and every other 2"-sleeved bar we sell. That covers the 7ft 20kg bar, the space-saving 6ft bar, the hex trap bar and the EZ curl bar in our bars collection, so a single stack of tri-grips serves your whole setup.
Because the bore is the industry standard, they also sit happily alongside any other Olympic plates you already own. If you are weighing up a wider purchase, our weights and bars range shows plates, bars and accessories in one place.
Tri-Grip Plate Sets With an Olympic Bar
If you would rather order once and start training, our bundled sets pair tri-grip plates with the right bar. The 107.5kg tri-grip set with 7ft Olympic bar is £320 and covers most lifters' first year or two of progress; the 157.5kg set at £450 adds the extra plates heavier squats and deadlifts demand. For arm work, the EZ curl bar and tri-grip bundle is £119.

Tri-Grip Weight Plates FAQs
What are tri-grip weight plates?
Tri-grip plates are weight plates with three handle cut-outs cast into the plate. The handles give you a secure, ergonomic hold for lifting plates off the floor, carrying them and loading them onto the bar. Ours are cast iron with a protective rubber coating and start from £7.99.
Will tri-grip plates fit my Olympic barbell?
Yes — our tri-grip plates have the Olympic 50mm bore, which fits standard 7ft barbells and any bar with 2" sleeves, including the 6ft, EZ curl and hex trap bars in our bars collection.
Are tri-grip plates rubber coated?
Yes. Each plate is cast iron at its core with a tough rubber coating over the top. The coating protects your flooring, racks and the plates themselves from knocks and scrapes, and keeps plate changes quieter than bare metal on metal.
Can tri-grip plates be dropped like bumper plates?
No. The rubber coating protects against everyday knocks, but the plates are still cast iron and should be lowered under control. If your training involves dropping the bar — Olympic lifts or heavy deadlifts — choose bumper plates, which are built for it.
Can I train with tri-grip plates off the bar?
Yes — the three handles make the plates easy to hold on their own, so many lifters use them for loaded carries, plate raises and similar movements between barbell work. The same grips are what make racking and unracking plates so much easier.
Do you sell tri-grip plates as a set?
Yes. The 107.5kg set with 7ft Olympic bar is £320, the 157.5kg set is £450, and the EZ curl bundle is £119. See all options in our weight plate sets.
