Record holder: the Sidea selection

A weight plate rack is not just a piece of furniture. It is an organisational system that directly affects the smooth running of every training session. When weight plates are tidy, accessible and stable, you avoid wasting time searching for the right plates and reduce the risk of injury from equipment left on the floor. The Sidea range includes solutions designed to withstand intensive daily use, compatible with 50 mm Olympic discs — from solid rubber bumper plates to technical-grade polyurethane discs — in settings ranging from professional weight rooms to CrossFit boxes, right through to well-equipped home gyms.

Who is the record holder for?

Anyone who works with barbells and interchangeable weights needs a dedicated storage system. However, requirements vary depending on the context.

In professional gyms and CrossFit boxes, where 10–20 athletes are training at the same time, the weight plate rack must allow for rapid multiple access, withstand continuous loading and unloading cycles, and withstand bumper plates being thrown or placed down forcefully.

  • The vertical column disc rack takes up less floor space and is better suited to smaller spaces, but requires the discs to be lifted vertically in order to insert and remove them. The horizontal-arm rack allows discs to be slid sideways, making it more convenient for sessions involving a high volume of load changes, but it takes up more space in terms of width.
  • Yes, provided the bumper plates have a standard 50 mm inner hole — which is the universal Olympic standard. The factor to bear in mind is the thickness of the plates: solid rubber bumper plates are thicker than cast iron or polyurethane plates of the same weight, so the number of plates that can actually be loaded onto each column may vary from the rack’s nominal capacity.
  • It depends on the thickness of the discs used. With standard 20 kg rubber bumper plates (each approximately 55–60 mm thick), a rack with a usable length of 50 cm can hold around 8–9 discs. With polyurethane or cast iron discs, the same space can easily hold 12–15 of them. Always check the usable length of the racks before purchasing.
  • Not always, but it depends on the total weight of the loaded discs and the product’s inherent stability. Disc racks with a wide base and a low centre of gravity remain stable without being secured up to a certain load. In high-traffic environments — such as CrossFit boxes and weight rooms with many users — securing the rack to the floor adds a useful level of safety, especially if the rack is positioned in high-traffic areas.
  • It is common practice to arrange the discs from heaviest to lightest, from the inside to the outside of the rack, so that the discs used most frequently are always within easy reach. In a gym with multiple barbells, a central, shared disc rack is more efficient than several individual racks spread out across the room. Keeping discs of the same weight on the same column reduces errors when loading the bar, particularly during group sessions.
  • No. The inner diameter of Olympic discs is 50 mm, whilst that of standard discs is 28–30 mm. On a 50 mm rack, 28 mm discs slide freely without being held in place, rendering the rack unusable and potentially dangerous. You need specific racks for each size, or dedicated adaptors if you want to use both types in the same space.
