Frequently Asked Questions
Here are answers to common specification and installation questions regarding the Two Tier Cycle Rack.
What is the main advantage of a two tier cycle rack?
Two tier systems double the number of bicycles stored within a given footprint by utilising vertical space. This makes them ideal for developments where high parking capacity is required within constrained internal areas.
Are two tier racks easy to use?
Yes. Modern two tier systems are designed with assisted lifting mechanisms to improve usability. Gas-assisted or spring-assisted options may be specified to support smoother operation.
Where are two tier cycle racks typically specified?
They are commonly specified for apartment developments, office buildings, transport hubs and education campuses where maximum cycle capacity is required within defined bike rooms or sheltered compounds.
Does this system support planning compliance?
Yes. Two tier racks are widely accepted by local authorities as an effective way to meet required cycle parking numbers while maintaining compliant circulation and accessibility standards.
Can the racks be installed within shelters or enclosures?
Yes. Two tier racks are frequently installed within cycle shelters, security mesh enclosures and dedicated internal bike rooms as part of a complete cycle storage solution.
What preparation is required before installation?
Installation requires fixing into a structurally suitable concrete slab or floor base. Adequate ceiling height and circulation space must also be considered during layout planning. Technical drawings are provided to support compliant installation.
