How To Use A Two-Tier Bike Rack
Two-tier bike racks are becoming increasingly common in the UK. Borne out of the Netherlands, they’re a high-density parking rack designed to double the capacity. But do you know how to use this bike parking solution?
Here’s how to use the Two-tier rack
Step 1: Pull out the upper parking tray
Pull out the upper tier of the rack using the rubber handles. Then lower the rack. The gas strut will hold the parking tray in place.
Step 2: Place the front wheel on the rack
Next, place the front wheel of your bike onto the two-tier rack. There is no need to lift the weight of the entire bicycle, just get your front wheel on the tray.
Step 3: Push your bicycle onto the tray
With the front wheel in the channel of the rack, you can push the bike on to the rack using the momentum of the bicycle.
Make sure the front and rear wheels sit securely inside the front and rear wheel stoppers.
Step 4: Lift the upper-tier back up
Using the soft-touch rubber handles, the gas strut will support the weight of the bicycle, removing the risk of the rack falling on you and making lifting easy.
Lift until the bike is horizontal, and the rack will again hold in place.
Step 5: Push the tray into place
You can then push the rack with your bike back to the original position.
The unique aspect of the space-efficient and cost-effective “Two Tier Bike Rack” makes it exclusive which has resulted in a growing requirement for it; especially in areas of high population densities such as stations, shopping centres, schools, car parks and offices.
For all bike types
The Two-Tier Bike Rack can accommodate all types of bicycles, such as mountain bikes and road bikes, which can be chained or D-locked on to the Two-Tier Bike Rack for added security. The bicycle is well supported by wheel channels and the back wheel is stabilised by a gutter to lock the bicycle firmly into place.
Simple and easy
The lower cycle rack has a sloping wheel channel, so the user does not have to bend between the levels which makes the two-tier cycle rack system simple and easy to use for all ages.
