The following companies are recognized as featured USPA equipment companies for 2025.
In 2024 alone, USPA paid out $12,066 to support Team USA lifters at IPL Worlds in Greece and IPL Tested Worlds in Las Vegas. Your $500 annual fee goes 100% toward supporting Team USA lifters, ensuring they have the resources they need to compete at Nationals and Worlds.
If your company specializes in lifting gear and you’re interested in being featured on the USPA Featured Equipment list, we invite you to apply using the link below:
IMPORTANT: Please be advised that being listed as a featured supplier does not guarantee that all equipment from these companies will meet the necessary criteria during gear checks at USPA-sanctioned events. It’s your responsibility to make sure any equipment you purchase meets the USPA Rulebook specifications. We advise checking your equipment’s compliance to prevent issues during gear checks.
As of January 1, 2024, we will no longer have an Approved Equipment List.
Vendors are no longer required to submit gear items for approval. Instead, vendors simply apply to be part of the Featured Equipment List, pay the associated fee, and do not have to undergo the previous gear inspection and approval process.
However, it’s crucial that vendors ensure their gear complies with USPA standards and guidelines as specified in the USPA Rulebook. This maintains the integrity and reliability of the Recommended List for our powerlifting community.
Simply click on the “Apply Now” button on the top of this page. There you’ll find the USPA Featured Equipment List Application Form which you can fill out.
Following the form submission, you’ll be prompted to pay the $500 annual fee. Upon successful payment, your company will be listed on the USPA Featured Equipment List for the year 2024.
Vendors who wish to have their gear remain on the Featured Equipment List for the subsequent year (2026 and beyond) will need to renew their listing annually. It’s crucial to note that listings will not be automatically renewed. Instead, vendors will receive a reminder email, prompting them to renew their listing by submitting a new application and paying the annual fee. Vendors who do not renew their listings will be removed from the Recommended Featured List after their one-year term expires.
