The Ecolock Vertical unit is a practical helmet locker designed to provide secure storage for cycle users in shared facilities. Each unit incorporates individual lockable compartments sized for a helmet and a small amount of personal belongings, helping improve day-to-day usability in cycle hubs and associated welfare areas.
Its vertical arrangement makes it particularly useful where wall space or footprint planning is important, while still delivering multiple secure storage points within a compact format.
This vertical helmet locker format provides a practical way to add secure storage alongside cycle parking without taking up excessive floor space. The compartmented design supports organised user storage in busy, shared environments.
Typical applications include:
• Workplace cycle hubs and commuter facilities
• Education campuses with cycle parking provision
• Public-sector cycle compounds
• Staff welfare and changing areas
• Transport and mobility hub support spaces
As helmet lockers, these units help keep helmets and smaller personal items secure while reducing clutter in cycle storage areas.
The Ecolock unit is designed specifically to store the user’s helmet and a limited amount of personal belongings securely. This focused storage function makes it a practical addition to facilities that support regular commuting and active travel.
Storage benefits include:
• Designed for helmet storage and small personal items
• Individual lockable compartments for shared use
• Suitable for daily user turnover in managed facilities
• Supports tidier, more organised cycle hub environments
This makes it a strong companion product to Broxap cycle shelters, compounds and cycle hub systems.
The compartments can be specified with either a cam lock or hasp and staple arrangement, allowing the locking method to be matched to how the facility is operated.
Locking options include:
• Cam lock supplied with two keys per compartment
• Hasp and staple option for user’s own padlock
This flexibility supports both centrally managed locker allocation and user-managed access arrangements.
A key feature of the Ecolock Vertical design is that lockers can be nested together to suit user requirements and project layouts. This allows specifiers to scale storage capacity efficiently across different sites.
Configuration benefits include:
• Lockers can be nested together
• Flexible arrangement to suit user demand
• Scalable storage for growing cycle facilities
• Practical for phased installations
This is particularly useful for workplaces and campuses where cycle usage may increase over time.
The unit is constructed from 1.2mm thick mild steel press-formed channel section, pop riveted and spot-welded to provide a robust structure suitable for repeated daily use.
