Olympic Competition Collars

Specifications

• Made from high-quality steel or precision-cast metal for maximum strength and durability during heavy lifting.

• Each collar weighs 2.5 kg, ensuring compliance with International Weightlifting Federation (IWF) standards for Olympic competition (total 5 kg when both are on the bar).

• Designed for Olympic barbells with a sleeve diameter of 50 mm (2 inches), fitting securely and preventing weight plates from shifting.

• Innovative lever locking or spin lock systems enable fast and secure attachment/removal of collars for quick plate changes during competition or training.

• Carefully calibrated for precise weight, maintaining competitive accuracy with tolerances as low as +10g / -0g per collar.

• Standard dimensions allowing more space for weight plates on the bar.

• IWF, IPF, and other major federation certifications for use in international and national competitions.

• Available with anti-corrosion coatings and rubber lining to protect equipment and improve grip on barbell sleeves.

Uses

• Secures weight plates firmly on Olympic barbells, preventing movement or accidents during intense lifts such as snatch, clean & jerk, and deadlift.

• Ensures accurate total lift weight, as the collar weight is included in competition scoring and official records.

• Enables fast plate transitions between lifts thanks to specialized locking mechanisms, minimizing downtime during events and training.

• Protects gym floors and equipment by reducing plate slippage and potential impact during lifting or drops.

• Essential for both competition and serious training in Olympic weightlifting, powerlifting, and strength-sport gyms.

• May be used in commercial gyms for enhanced safety and professionalism, especially for advanced athletes and trainers.
