Quality platforms for heavy weight use areas are considered to be ideal for Elite Athletes to perform their necessary heavy explosive power exercises on. These 80mm thick platforms are ideal for commercial environments where free weight training will take place but where you need to reduce the noise of impact and/or vibration. Using a platform like this will prolong the life of costly Olympic bars and rubber training discs. (N.B. The use of metal discs is not recommended.)Platform construction: The centre, 1 metre section, is made from a solid oak layer on a plywood base. This section is flanked both sides with black reconstituted rubber tiles (solid) 48mm thick with a cruciform finish in 500mm squares. Under the SBR rubber we use a durable foam and then a harder rubber to dampen noise and vibration The platform is then held in place by a ramped sectional steel frame surround. The SBR rubber mats are manufactured to our own specification to ensure that the density of the mats optimises the lifting experience. Energy from the drop is returned as approx 1/3 bounce. 1/3 directly into floor and 1/3 through mat and into the wider floor. The lifting surface is available with different finishes:- a lacquered solid oak floor covering;- our new extreme grip surface provided by a birch plywood base covered by an extremely hard wearing phenol film with a wire mesh pattern to give you a high grip surface- a 7mm Plastic layer in one of the following colours(Graphite, Blue, Red, Yellow, Green or Grey); These platforms are available as either 3m x 2m or 3m x 3m (lifting surface measurements) as standard but special sizes can be made or platforms fitted side-by-side to fill an area.There is an option to add your own logo to all the platform options if you provide artwork.
