Free Standing Vertical Bike Rack
Vertical Bike Storage Stand for Space-Saving Installations
This vertical cycle rack functions as a practical vertical bike storage stand, designed to maximise capacity in areas where floor space is limited. By storing bicycles upright, it significantly reduces footprint while maintaining secure, stable parking for commercial, residential and educational environments.
Bike Vertical Storage Solutions for Space-Constrained Environments
Our vertical cycle racks provide efficient bike vertical storage designed to maximise capacity in compact commercial and residential developments. By storing bicycles upright, these systems significantly reduce floor footprint while maintaining secure and accessible parking.
Space-Saving Bike Wall Racks for Commercial and Residential Projects
Our vertical system functions as high-performance bike wall racks, designed to maximise storage capacity while minimising floor space usage. By utilising vertical wall-mounted positioning, this solution is ideal for apartment blocks, offices, schools and secure cycle stores where efficient layout planning is essential.
Bike wall racks are particularly effective in constrained indoor environments, allowing developers and facilities managers to significantly increase capacity without expanding the footprint of the cycle storage area. Engineered from durable, galvanised steel and built for repeated daily use, this system delivers long-term reliability in high-traffic settings.
Whether installed as part of a new-build scheme or retrofitted into an existing cycle room, our bike wall racks support BREEAM-aligned developments and modern active travel infrastructure.

Frequently Asked Questions
Here are answers to common specification and installation questions regarding the Vertical Cycle Rack.
What is the main advantage of a vertical cycle rack?
Vertical cycle racks store bicycles upright against a wall, significantly reducing the floor area required per space. This makes them ideal for high-density bike rooms and constrained internal layouts.
Does the system require lifting?
Yes. Bicycles are lifted into an upright position for storage. Depending on the configuration, guided mechanisms may be included to improve usability and stability during operation.
Where is the Vertical Cycle Rack typically specified?
It is commonly specified for apartment developments, office buildings, student accommodation and secure cycle rooms where maximising capacity within a defined footprint is essential.
How does this differ from a two tier system?
Unlike two tier racks, vertical systems store bicycles against a wall rather than stacking them. This can simplify layout planning while still delivering high-density storage in certain room configurations.
Does this support planning and active travel requirements?
Yes. By increasing the number of cycle spaces within constrained areas, vertical racks help developments meet required cycle parking quotas and support sustainable transport objectives.
What preparation is required before installation?
Installation requires fixing into a structurally suitable wall substrate and may also require floor fixing depending on configuration. Technical drawings and spacing guidance are provided to ensure compliant installation.
