The Industrial Athletic Kids Bar is a very tiny 3kg. This piece of excellence is designed for little people and their aspirations (potentially delusions!) of strength and fitness.
Please note that although the normal warranty conditions obviously apply, this bar is designed as a technical aid and a fun piece of gear also. Realistically, there should be minimal weight applied to ensure the safety of the child user... use your better judgement on this one please.
Barbell Warranty Specifics
Maintenance is key for any piece of gym equipment and important for barbells. Regular maintenance will keep your equipment in prime condition and last a lifetime. Regular oiling between the shaft and sleeve with 3 in 1 oil is essential for good rotation
Incorrect usage (misuse) of barbells includes but is not limited to:
- Dropping unevenly onto a non-Olympic platform surface, spotting arms, power rack, box etc
- Dropping the bar with no bumper plates (empty bar)
- Dropping the bar with weight plates other than bumper plates
- Dropping the bar in a way that part of the bar makes contact with any surface prior to the bumper plates
- Storing the bar for a prolonged period of time loaded with weights
Key indicators for barbells that have been used for purposes that are unintended, and void warranty, include
- A slight or gradual and consistent bend in the shaft. Incorrect storage such as leaving the barbell loaded with weight for a prolonged period of time will cause this style of damage thus rendering misuse rather than a manufacturing fault
- A bend that is off centre is the result of trauma caused by the uneven dropping of the bar. Generally accompanied by a localised surface deviation or colour change on the shaft
