Not sure where to put this but this is a hybrid product. It takes the Abmat crash cushions and turns it into mobile jerk blocks that you can move around. Yes, the dreaded jerk blocks have dust on them and are too heavy to move problem is solved. Take a full set of blocks from abmat and put them onto a furniture dolly. I used a non-standard size but they still commercially make them. 18x30 dolly. Vestile brand is what I have. This is a game changer if you have extremely limited space. Also the blocks work as pylo boxes when needed. Cheap compared to fabricating your own casters and dolly set. Make sure the dolly’s you get have a rubber grip to be able to have enough traction to move the blocks without knocking the whole stack over. Most dolly’s come with a dolly hook, get it and use it if you have different abled people moving them around. Also make sure you get a dolly that has a wheel or two that lock. This will help keep
the blocks from moving when dropping the weight.

Heavy duty hand made and nearly indestructible. Built when lumber was cheaper. If you want plans let me know.

Simple design but great to give the raise needed. Used floor rubber leftover pieces as the top

I made enough of these blocks that I can use them as Jerk blocks when stacked. The can also hold drinks, slings, and iPads.

Built these to be able to do jerks as well as Olympic lifts from the blocks. They have held up to the test of time with over 10 years of weights falling in them.
