Abmat Sled Spacer
AbMat’s Sled Spacers allow you to easily and efficiently add and remove plates from your sled. The circular foam discs slide on between plates to create a small gap just wide enough to easily remove the plates when you’re done with your workout, eliminating the need to try and pry the plates apart. They also reduce damage to the plates—especially metal ones that are prone to chipping due to blunt impact—by providing a cushioned barrier when you drop a new plate on. An added benefit is that sled spacers effectively reduce unwanted sound.

These are perfect for their intended use! Especially if you are training for Dinnie stones or something and need to load 2 x 100lb plates vertically. Would recommend!

This is a simple piece, but it actually makes sled work a lot smoother. It keeps the plates elevated and stable, which makes loading and unloading easier and helps everything sit more securely during pushes and pulls. I noticed it right away on heavier sets where plates can shift around. Not something you have to have, but definitely a nice upgrade if you use a sled regularly.

Nice item to use with the Fringe mammoth belt squat to make plate removal easier

These are excellent. There are cheaper and DIY options, but it’s not like these are super expensive. I grabbed a big pack of them and use them all the time for my yoke and sled

These are very useful and versatile. Anytime you want some space between plates or a little more shock absorporation these work really well.

Functionally these work very well. I used them to separate my Tribewod steel plates on a vertical plate rack. Makes grabbing the plates infinitely easier and safer but they do seem quite expensive for what they are. 🤷♂️

I love these little things! There are sooo many uses for them. I use them on the barbells before I put on any plates, so they are a bit quieter in my basement gym. I use them on deadlifts to move the plates farther out and get some more barbell whip. I use them on squats because my Rogue rack is annoyingly wide and I often would hit the rack while walking a barbell out. I use them on plate storage on my rack to reduce metal on metal rattling....Cheap upgrade to any home gym!

These are super nice for their purpose, but very expensive. I use them every time I belt squat. An alternative I once saw recommended was 2in hitch receiver silencer pads (pictured on the right). I got an 8 pack for less than $10 on Amazon and the added bonus of the only smell stronger than a fresh horse stall mat.

Yeah, you could easily cut some of these out of foam and achieve the same thing, but why not get a stack already made and spend that time on something else. They work great in stacking scenarios for sure. I use them to place between my wall mounted weight horns and the Calibrated ATX chrome plates do the bolts don’t scratch up the plates. I use them also between each plate on horn for easy grabs.

These offer a huge quality of life improvement for loading top loaded farmers, yoke, silver dollar deadlift, and anything where plates are vertically sandwiched together. Some plates to have more defined notches that give a gap between plates, but most plates will have little to no seam between them when top loaded. These offer a tad of space to make unloading so much easier. They also provide a bit of protection between plate on plate contact, but I’m less worried about that.
