A platform protects the floor slab, extends barbell and bumper plate life, and significantly reduces noise and vibration transmitted through the building. Oak or rubber lifting platform — which is better? Oak centre inserts give a firm, consistent surface underfoot and are the traditional competition standard. Full rubber platforms absorb more impact and noise, which suits facilities in shared or multi-storey buildings.
