The bike rail is our classic grid style rack featuring nine inch stalls between the one
inch vertical spacer bars.
The bike rail design allows the bicycle to be positioned farther into the rack so that
the wheel and frame can be securely locked with a standard bike U lock or bike locking
cable.
This system is best suited for heavy use where high security and maximizing space is most
important.
The bike rail is considered to be the strongest and most durable rack system in the industry.
The standard bike rail system is offered in a wide range of sizes to accommodate up to
24 bikes.
Additionally, longer systems can be requested with special connectors and supports to accommodate
even more bicycles.
The bike rail system is fabricated with a combination of high quality industrial grade
tubing which is MIG welded for superior strength.
This method of hand fabrication produces the highest possible structural strength and deters
bicycle theft.
Each bike rail has a durable plastic sleeve placed on the top rail to protect the finish
of the bicycles.
While the standard bike rail selections will usually accommodate the needs of most organizations
and institutions, bike security racks can do custom designs when requested.
Even in securing the bike rail system is achieved with some options.
Because of its massive weight, the bike rail system can be securely positioned standing
alone on grass or gravel.
However, most planners usually consider the more secure options.
One is by using the installed security caps that are standard equipment on all surface
mounted systems designed to be positioned on concrete or pavement.
These security caps allow a bolt to be placed into a masonry wedge anchor.
The head of the bolt is sealed with hydraulic cement to prevent the bolt's removal.
The most secure option is the regular version below grade mounted bike rack where the system
is strategically embedded 24 inches deep into concrete or asphalt.
The bike rail system has a durable black powder coating as a standard finish.
However, a separate hot galvanizing treatment is also available and recommended for racks
that will be subject to extremely heavy use.
After galvanizing, the racks may then be powder coated.
While most organizations and institutions choose the black powder coat finish, bike security
racks are also offered in over 20 color options to align with an institution's color choice
and to enhance the environmental aesthetics.
And finally, the bike rail system is also offered in a stainless steel option that can
be ordered upon request.
