Frequently Asked Questions
Here are answers to common specification and installation questions regarding the Gas Assisted Two Tier Cycle Rack.
What is a gas assisted two tier cycle rack?
A gas assisted two tier cycle rack is a high-density storage system that allows bicycles to be stored on two vertical levels. The gas-assisted mechanism supports smooth lifting and lowering of the upper tier to improve ease of use.
Where are two tier racks typically specified?
Two tier racks are commonly specified within residential apartment bike stores, commercial cycle rooms, transport hubs and university campuses where maximising capacity within limited floor space is essential.
What are the space-saving benefits?
By stacking bicycles vertically across two levels, the system effectively doubles parking capacity compared to single-tier racks, making it ideal for developments with constrained internal areas.
Does the rack support planning compliance?
Yes. Two tier racks can form part of a compliant cycle storage strategy where space efficiency is required to meet planning conditions relating to cycle provision.
What installation preparation is required?
Installation requires a structurally suitable floor slab capable of supporting the rack system and associated loading. Detailed fixing specifications and layout drawings are provided to support contractor planning and compliance.
What warranty is included?
The Gas Assisted Two Tier Cycle Rack is backed by a 10-year manufacturing defects warranty, providing long-term assurance for developers and facilities managers.
