The Broxap high density cycle rack is designed for projects where cycle parking demand is high but available footprint is limited. Developed with a particular focus on inner-city and urban environments, it provides a practical way to significantly increase capacity compared with conventional stand layouts.
Its semi-vertical arrangement helps make better use of available space while supporting organised, accessible cycle parking for a wide range of users.
This space saving cycle rack stores cycles side by side in a semi-vertical configuration, allowing a compact parking layout that increases density without requiring a large expansion of the parking area. The design is particularly effective in sites where every square metre matters.
Key layout benefits include:
• Semi-vertical cycle storage to reduce footprint requirements
• Side-by-side parking layout for efficient space use
• Suitable for constrained internal or external cycle parking zones
• Practical format for urban and high-demand locations
This makes it a strong compact cycle rack option for developments where standard Sheffield-style layouts would limit overall capacity.
A key usability feature of the system is dual-side access. Cycles can be accessed from both sides of the rack, helping improve circulation and reduce congestion in busier cycle parking areas.
Access and user benefits include:
• Access from both sides of the rack
• Improved circulation in shared-use parking areas
• Suitable for higher turnover cycle parking environments
• Efficient use of aisle space in planned cycle stores
This dual-access format supports everyday practicality while maintaining the density advantages of a high density bike rack.
The rack includes a specially shaped trough designed to accommodate a wide range of tyre types, helping provide secure and stable support for different bicycles commonly used in public and commercial settings.
Trough design benefits include:
• Accommodates a wide variety of tyres
• Suitable for racing, hybrid and mountain bike styles
• Helps hold cycles firmly in the rack
• Supports mixed-user cycle parking environments
This makes the system a practical high capacity cycle rack for workplaces, residential schemes, transport interchanges and public facilities where bike types vary.
The High Density Cycle Rack is designed to substantially improve parking density compared with more traditional stand installations such as Sheffield or Harrogate-style layouts. By reducing the footprint required per cycle, the rack can help maximise cycle numbers within the same site area.
Capacity planning advantages include:
• Designed to significantly increase cycle parking density
• Particularly suited to inner-city and urban projects
• Can nearly double capacity versus conventional stand footprints (site layout dependent)
• Supports more efficient use of premium floor space
This can be especially valuable for cycle hubs, new-build developments and retrofit schemes where expansion area is limited.
The product description notes a cycle locking hoop for securing cycles to the stand, supporting secure day-to-day use in shared parking areas. The rack is also available in a range of size options, allowing configurations to be selected to suit project capacity requirements.
Options and specification notes:
• Available in a range of size options
• Cycle locking hoop for securing cycles to stand
It is often specified alongside Broxap cycle shelters, access control systems, CCTV and locker solutions to create a complete high-density cycle parking area.
Dimensions
• Width: 1540mm
• Height: 1741mm
• Length: dependant on configuration
The configurable length allows the rack system to be adapted to site layout and required cycle numbers.
Where used in the appropriate situation, the High Density Cycle Rack can contribute towards gaining ENE8 credits under the Code for Sustainable Homes. It is also noted as BREEAM and Code for Sustainable Homes compliant.
Compliance-related information includes:
• Can contribute towards ENE8 credits (where applicable)
• BREEAM compliant
• Code for Sustainable Homes compliant
This can support projects where cycle parking provision contributes to wider sustainability and active travel goals.
With semi-vertical storage, dual-side access and a tyre-accommodating trough design, Broxap’s high density cycle rack provides an efficient solution for high-demand cycle parking across the UK & Ireland. Suitable for urban developments, transport locations and commercial cycle stores, it offers a dependable way to increase capacity where space is limited.
