    You can check this by placing s glass of water as close as possible to the platform and record a close up video while deadlifting.
    Any noticeable vibration transmitted through the platform to the floor will disturb the water level.
    I'm currently deadlifting with a very slow eccentric to minimise any problems but this is very tiring.

    I'm thinking a pair of drop pads with a gym mat placed on top. This will provide a stable, horizontal surface for the pull and n/loading.
    I'm not sure about the effect this would have vibration suppression.
    I have a couple of thick rubber gym matts and I'm soon to add some ply on top. I don't know what they cost but can't remember it being expensive.

    The customs charge on the ss bar was 80 pounds for anyone who might be interested

    The price for me (I live in Greece) is more than $600 including shipping and customs.
    More than double the actual product price. Seems too much. I'll just get an atx ram bar or a strengthshop bar for a fraction of that.
    I wish I could buy it for a reasonable price.

    Including postage ? If that’s £430 all in I might take a punt on the DL bar.

    Postage and the bar were 356. Customs was 80.

    I thought that was good value tbh.

    Yes, that’s not bad at all. Far less than my estimation. How does it compare to the Strength shop bar-feel, spin, knurling, build quality etc ?
