Black Rubber Weight Equipment Mat 4′ X 6′ X 1/2″ – Rubberlogix (RL-4612)

Rubberlogix 4′ x 6′ x 1/2″ Black Rubber Weight Equipment Mat – So you’ve got some moderately heavy dumbbells and an Olympic barbell set you like to perform deadlifts, squats and other Olympic style lifts with. Without proper gym flooring in place, dropping these heavy weights can seriously damage floors, break dumbbell handles and bend Olympic bars. A Rubberlogix 4′ x 6′ x 1/2″ mat is thick enough to absorb the impact caused by medium to heavy free weights in garage gyms and commercial gyms. Each mat is Recycled and Made in the USA from pulverized granular rubber made from reclaimed passenger tires and a polyurethane bonding agent. For extremely heavy Olympic style lifting it is best to use 4′ x 8′ x 3/4″ mats which are common in deadlifting platforms.

I see that shipping cost is based on my destination, so what will be my “delivered” price per mat?

Weighing 72 pounds each, single heavy-duty gym mats require additional handling with UPS for ground shipments due to size and weight. Mats ship from our warehouse in North Carolina, so total pricing to Eastern states will be less than that to Central, Southern, or Western states. If you are only ordering a single mat, you can estimate your total DELIVERED price (price of mat AND shipping cost together) to be the following based on major metropolitan regions:

• $179.00 – West Coast
• $149.00 – East Coast

*Shipping cost per mat is greatly reduced as the quantity of mats is increased.

Using multiple 4′ x 6′ x 1/2″ rubber mats to cover an entire floor:
For complete floor protection under your free weight and cardio equipment areas, heavy duty recycled rubber gym equipment mats will do the job and then some. And since the mats are so big and heavy there is no need to use adhesive. Normally during the manufacturing process block mats are cut by hand, and are not always going to be exact dimensions in length and width, or have edges that are totally squared. In the case of a single mat or only a few mats, this is not generally noticeable. However, when multiple mats are laid side-by-side and end-to-end across a gym floor, the end user may experience gaps here and there resulting from less precisely cut edges being positioned next to each other. These gaps can trap dust and dirt, and in general create a less than ideal visual appearance. In many livestock and other industrial applications where function outweighs aesthetics (such as horse stalls and machine shops) this does not matter. However, in a fitness setting (such as a crossfit box, commercial fitness center, or military base gym) where 4′ x 6′ or even 4′ x 8′ block mats are utilized as “jumbo” loose-lay tiles to cover a large surface area of flooring, a more finished look is often desired. In this bulk purchase scenario it is recommended to have the mats “trued” to consistent size during manufacturing. The process of “truing” via waterjet cutting puts the mats through a very precise method of production for straight, sharp edges and square corners, allowing much more consistency from mat to mat greatly reducing visible gaps and any other seam inconsistencies when installed. When requesting your flooring quote, let your IRON COMPANY® flooring sales rep know if your mats need to be trued.

Truing Lead Time: Please allow additional 4 week truing lead time prior to shipping since trued mats need to be custom produced to order and put through waterjet cutting process
