Polyurethane coating vs Rubber coated weight plates
Polyurethane tends to last longer than rubber due to several key factors:
Durability: Polyurethane is more resistant to abrasion, tearing, and wear than rubber. It has a superior ability to withstand repeated stress and impact without degrading or deteriorating. On the other hand, rubber is more prone to cracking, splitting, and becoming brittle over time, especially when exposed to harsh environmental conditions.
Load-Bearing Capacity: Polyurethane has a higher load-bearing capacity than rubber. It can support heavier loads without permanent deformation or compression set. This characteristic makes polyurethane an ideal choice for applications that involve heavy machinery, equipment, or dynamic loads. Rubber, although capable of bearing loads, may experience more compression set and permanent deformation under similar conditions.
Resilience: Polyurethane has superior elastic properties compared to rubber, allowing it to return to its original shape after being subjected to stress or deformation. This resilience helps polyurethane maintain its performance characteristics over a longer period. Rubber, although elastic, may exhibit higher hysteresis and experience more permanent set, resulting in reduced resilience and longevity.
Due to these factors PU is a much more highly desired material for use in commercial gyms.

Recently purchased an adjustable bench, concept 2 rower, 8 x floor mats and a hex bar.
Shawn was very helpful in helping me choose what equipment would best suit me for my home gym needs.
Order was packed and dispatched incredibly fast.
All equipment is of high quality. Adjustable bench was very easy to put together with clear instructions.
Overall a 5 star experience. Thanks Shawn and the Kinta Fitness team!

Simply outstanding. I bought high quality gym flooring (24 slabs of 1m2 each) and they promptly and efficiently coordinated with me the delivery date, keeping me informed all the way. Highly recommended.

I've been looking for a Tactical Weight Plate Carrier Vest for a few weeks now, with no luck.
After speaking to Aidan regarding further information on their Tac-Vests, he provided me with quick responses, all the information I required and the options they had available. Their vests were also incredibly well priced against the big brands.
Extremely friendly and helpful staff members. I'll leave a review on the Tac-Vest when I've given it a few months of training sessions. Definitely recommend Kinta for advice on gym equipment and service!
