250g = Blue
500g = Red
These Microloaders are engineed for accuracy of weight which makes them more expensive than any cast plate equivalent, it also makes them significantly more durable being made from steel rather than cast so they will never break if dropped and they are CNC machined so the weight tollerence is extremely tight.
Typically used by weight trainers adopting specific training routines which require very small weight increments week by week rather than a more typical routine of adding bigger weights and dropping a rep. off the set then building back up to the original rep range before increasing weight.
Micro loaders are naturally more expensive than cast weights due to labour involved in the machining of these plates however with the rising cost of cast iron the difference is becoming less noticeable.
Note: These plates are made in batches so typically available "from stock" however should stock be depleted unexpectedly there could be a delay of some weeks as production needs to be fitted into the manufacturing schedule but we will of course notify customers of any production/despatch delay.
