Hansu Deep Dish Plates

Name: Hansu Deep Dish Plates
Brand: Hansu Power
Rating: 4.89 (3 reviews)

Hansu’s Deep Dish Plates are a budget-oriented take on the vintage “deep dish” cast plate design popularized by Rogue – a wide, extra-thick rim originally meant to protect old wooden lifting platforms from dropped weight, now prized mostly for its retro look. They’re built from ductile iron (a stronger material than standard cast iron, and at the time only the second brand after Rogue to use it) with a gray hammertone enamel finish and silver weight lettering, sold in pairs across three sizes: 25, 35, and 45 lb. Their dish is noticeably shallower than Rogue’s – about 1.56” thick versus Rogue’s roughly 1.97” – which saves real bar and rack space as plates stack up, at the cost of the deepest “vintage” look. One reviewer who weighed a batch of ten 45 lb plates found them accurate to within about ±2% of the stated weight, in line with the manufacturer’s claimed tolerance, though the 50mm center hole runs looser than advertised. The lineup skips 100 lb plates and change plates entirely, so a full set needs another brand to round it out. As of this writing, no manufacturer or regional distributor has a current listing for these plates – treat them as a discontinued/hard-to-find SKU rather than a live buying option.

What is a Weight Plate?

What weight plates are

Weight plates load your barbell — but “plate” covers two very different tools. Bumper plates are rubber discs around a steel hub, all the same ~450mm diameter, built to be dropped from overhead without damaging your floor or bar; they’re the default for Olympic lifting and CrossFit. Iron/steel plates are denser and thinner per pound, cheaper, and quieter to load, but most aren’t made to be dropped — better for slow, controlled powerlifting-style work.

What actually matters

Bumper vs. iron. Buy bumpers if the bar might hit the floor; iron (or rubber-coated iron) for controlled lifts and compact loading.
Weight tolerance. How far a plate strays from its stated weight (±1% is tight, ±3% loose). It barely matters for general training but adds up if you chase a specific total — which is why serious lifters add small change / fractional plates.
Collar fit & bounce. The center hole should fit your bar’s sleeve snugly; rubber durometer (around 88 Shore A) controls how “dead” a dropped plate lands.
Coating & set composition. Virgin rubber holds up and smells less than recycled crumb rubber; plan a starting set (usually a pair each of 45/25/10/5 lb plus change plates) around the lifts you actually do.

Who it’s for

Every barbell gym needs plates. Most home lifters should start with a bumper set, then add iron, change, or specialty plates as a second purchase once they know what their training is missing.

Hansu’s deep dish plates pair ductile-iron construction with a shallower, more space-efficient dish than Rogue’s competing plates, and the one detailed hands-on look found them weighing in within about ±2% of stated weight. Value was the standout dimension at launch — priced well under comparable deep dish plates once shipping was factored in — though the center hole runs looser than advertised and the lineup skips 100lb and change plates, so a full set needs another brand to round it out. The bigger issue today is availability: no manufacturer or regional distributor currently lists these for sale, so treat the strong early value proposition as historical rather than something you can act on right now.

+Functionality: a shallower 1.56" dish (vs. roughly 1.97" on Rogue's deep dish plates) saves meaningful bar and rack real estate as plates stack up (Basement Brandon)
+Build quality: ductile-iron construction with a hammertone gray finish and silver lettering that reviewers call more aesthetic than plain cast iron (Two Rep Cave, Basement Brandon)
+Build quality: weight accuracy measured within about ±2% across a sample of ten 45lb plates, in line with the claimed tolerance (Basement Brandon)
+Value: historically priced well below comparable deep dish plates once free shipping was factored in, undercutting a landed Rogue pair by roughly $40 (Basement Brandon)

−Versatility: only offered in 25lb, 35lb, and 45lb — no 100lb or change plates, so completing a full set means mixing in another brand (Two Rep Cave, Basement Brandon)
−Build quality: center hole tolerance runs looser than advertised (~50.5mm+ vs. a stated 50mm), noticeably looser than machined plates (Two Rep Cave, Basement Brandon)
−Durability: no long-term wear data available — the deepest coverage found is a first-impressions video, not a long-term test (Basement Brandon)
−Value: the product now appears discontinued — no current retail listing exists from the manufacturer or any regional distributor, so the historical value can't currently be acted on
