The defining feature of the Stromness cycle rack is its alternating high and low wheel positions. This staggered arrangement reduces handlebar clash and enables closer spacing between cycles without compromising usability.
In operation:
• Cycles in the high position are loaded into trough supports and secured by a wheel retainer.
• Cycles in the low position are held by a wheel retainer set at 350mm centres.
This configuration increases parking density while maintaining accessibility, making it ideal for locations where ground area is at a premium.
Typical applications include:
• Railway stations and transport interchanges
• Retail parks and supermarkets
• Business parks and office developments
• Education campuses
• Leisure centres and sports facilities
• Residential apartment schemes
The Stromness cycle rack can be specified to suit a variety of installation environments.
Surface Mounted
• Base plated for fixing to concrete or tarmac
• Suitable for retrofit projects
• Minimal disruption to existing hard landscaping
Wall Mounted
• Ideal for covered cycle stores or enclosed compounds
• Maximises usable floor area
• Suitable for sheltered or internal parking zones
The choice of mounting option allows contractors and specifiers to adapt the system to both new build and refurbishment schemes.
The Stromness outdoor bike rack is available in a wide range of capacities to suit different site requirements.

The Stromness system is commonly specified as a commercial bike rack in developments where organised, high-capacity cycle parking is essential. Its modular nature allows it to be installed beneath cycle shelters or within secure compounds.
It is often paired with:
• Cycle shelters for weather protection
• Access control systems in residential schemes
• Signage and wayfinding elements
• Bollards and perimeter protection
This integrated approach supports structured and accessible bicycle parking across diverse site types.
