Why choose a weight in cast iron rather than plastic or vinyl?
- Due to its density, cast iron is more compact than vinyl, allowing you to increase the number of discs on the bar (up to 32 kg on a dumbbell).
- Cast iron can be kept for life, unlike plastic or vinyl, which can last less than 1 year.
- Less affected by temperature variations, cast iron offers consistent use in different climatic conditions.
why choose cast iron weights?
- Cast iron is 5 times more resistant to impacts, falls and crushing than vinyl.
- Cast iron has a textured surface for excellent grip, even with wet hands, unlike plastic, which is often slippery.
Choosing our cast iron weights means opting for efficiency and reliability in your training.

Don't forget disc collars for your safety.
Install a disc collar on each end of your bar or dumbbell to work out safely.
They are sold as a pair (ref: 8574652). If you train with two dumbbells, you'll need four collars (two pairs).
Do not exceed 15 kg if using your bar in a vertical position.
Our advice for storing your cast iron weight training discs
Store your cast iron weights on a wall mount for discs (ref: 8796727) or a storage rack (ref: 8788246) to install indoors (such as in a garage).
You can also store them in the lower part of a piece of furniture.
Your weight training plates should be stored away from moisture, since cast iron can rust if exposed to water.
Your discs are easy to clean with a microfibre cloth when they have been stored for a long time.
