Gods Of Grip
Olympic Short Loading Pin
Choose options
Our Olympic Short Loading Pin is the compact version of our competition-proven Olympic Loading Pin. Standing at just 230mm (9"), it's designed to increase range of motion, improve access to competition crossbars and allow athletes to make better use of their leg drive.
The shorter design is particularly useful for shorter athletes or anyone who prefers a lower starting position. By keeping the weight closer to the floor, it allows for a longer pulling motion while maintaining a strong, natural lifting position.
Like our premium standard-height model, this loading pin features a precision laser-cut steel base with the weld positioned underneath. The flat upper surface allows weight plates to sit flush against the base, helping protect your plates and providing a consistent loading experience.
Designed and manufactured by us in the UK, each pin features our signature GripLock™ textured finish, vibrant yellow Gods of Grip branding and a convenient attachment lug for quick carabiner changes.

I mainly do powerlifting, but have used this in my homemade diy pulley system. It is a lot better than the generic ones you can buy from Amazon or other sites. I have used it quite a bit since purchasing.
Bought the shorter loading pin to increase motion on rolling handle lifts. Does the job well and you do notice how much extra you have to pull. Great product recommended! You can see from my picture how much shorter compared to a standing height loading pin.
What can you say about a loading pin?
It is solid and well made, the shorter length makes it good for exercises where you don't use a.ton of weight but apart from that it does exactly what it says on the tin.
Every gym should have one.
Awesome product.
Absolute quality item perfect for the job.
Good quality robust loading pin
I love it and it's exactly what I wanted. This one I will using more for my Darth vader head or steve the skull. Space runs out quick for vertical bar lifts
Great kit. Thank you
Surrounded by Chinese loading pins it's nice to have a pair of UK made loading pins. Because it's quite short it gives a deeper range of motion on doing deadlifts. Only flaw is the black paint. It is not iron but steel so you probably don't have to worry about red rust when the black paint wears off but I would've preferred a pure carbon steel option with no paint look and smell, just pure carbon steel. Overall 9.9/10
First of all I just want to say the God Of Grips have been really helpful with me on my journey so far, I am quite new to grip so was not sure which products would be best for me to start with. I emailed the service and the next day received an email from Tom who really helped guide me.
The reason I am leaving a review on this item is due to the flat base style, whilst shopping around you will notice every other brand of loading pin has the knobble metal at the bottom I presume is weld, this can bump into the weight plate and damage it which I was very concerned about due to recently buying new weights too (going all out for my new hobby).
Whilst It may cost a little more for this convenience I think long term its a good idea. So I would recommend this item and the others I purchased.
Wanted an 18 inch pin which is between the tall and short so got in touch and received it within the next week. Great service and quality item
I got this item several weeks after the expected day ,it didnot fit the purpose so returned it couple of days later .I have send
several emails asking for refund but have had no response . I wouldn't buy from this company ever and would not recommend it all to anyone else
Hi J Sharma,
I've just looked into this and can confirm the return has been received back and refund processed.
Thank you
I ordered a short loading pin and they sent me a standard loading pin which is the long version not what I ordered I already have a long one…not happy with that because it came from England to Nz…not like I can return it
Ideal pin, I actually prefer using this over regular loading pin. Nice design the 'lug' is big enough to easily hook / unhook the carabiner.
I struggle to use a regular loading pin as it only gives me a very short range of motion. This is perfect for helping me feel like I get a full lift. It's really helped me get stronger with my lifts.
Needed a smaller pin for our cable machine due to the height of the machine. We’ve loaded it upto over 100kg so far but feel it could take way more.
very sturdy loading pin tall enough for bumpers too which is great. forgot a carabiner so had to get one but it arrived quickly after order
I can not describe how much better the quality on this pin is to one I've purchased a few months ago. Really nice well worth the money
Best loading pin in my collection, will be using this regulary.
Top quality fabrication, nice design.
Feels really well made and the lug is a nice size for easy switching of grip tools
solid pin, made really well.
Grabbed the Loading Pin & Carabiner. Great stuff, great quality with a very smooth and decent weld. The carabiners are huge and sturdy too, easily clipping onto my other attachments and homemade pulleys!
Immensely impressed with this. Absolutely solid welds and nice sized eye.
recommended - going down well at gym - cheers
Great bit of kit
Heavy duty equipment, not like the cheap stuff i've seen elsewhere. This is the dogs bollocks.
We already have a couple of loading pins but this seems to be the best quality wise, really impressed.
Nice solid loading pin flat base to as my other one from another company is a bit raised so very happy
