Custom Built Bicycle Racks
A SECURE, DURABLE AND ATTRACTIVE SOLUTION
More Australians are riding a bicycle to ease traffic congestion, save money and time, and improve their health and quality of life. And with Australian bicycle sales continuing to outstrip motor vehicle sales in recent years, we have seen a growing demand in our community for well built, practical and secure bicycle parking stands and racks.
Cyclists themselves are also looking for a secure place to park their bikes but unfortunately a lot of public facilities are poorly designed, forcing cyclists to lock their bikes to a tree or nearby post which becomes a hazard to pedestrians. “Cyclists look to high quality bike stands that do not damage their bikes and allow locking of the wheel and frame to deliver maximum 24 hour security,” says Chris Peal, Key Account Manager, Chess Engineering.
As a result of enquiries from councils, government bodies, schools and businesses, Chess Engineering has developed a custom-designed bike stand to cater for the increasing number of cyclists. The design serves communities in all kinds of markets whether it‟s residential apartments, recreation centres, secondary schools, TAFE colleges and universities, workplaces, retail shopping centres, train and bus interchanges.
The Chess-designed bike rack features include:
- Australian-designed and manufactured by a leading team of experienced engineers
- Custom-designed – product can be tailored to fit location and space constraints, bike capacity, design preferences and environment
- Maximum protection – racks are designed to support the bicycle frame and the wheel delivering high security to the bike owner
- Design can be built for single or double sided access
- ISO9001 certification guaranteeing a high quality finish
- A variety of heavy duty, weather and tamper resistant materials and finishes available including galvanized mild steel to powder-coated to stainless steel grades
- See your proposed bike stand in 3D before it‟s finished with Chess' CAD format
- Easy to install and relocate
- Attractive appearance compliments any setting
“Our design is customised to suit the client's needs exactly, unlike many competing products which are off-the-shelf type racks built to fixed dimensions and bike capacities offering limited flexibility to the customer,” says Chris.
Being a full service engineering company and not just a bike rack retailer means Chess can deliver specific design requirements for customers. They have qualified personnel on-site to cut, bend and weld in a variety of materials and finishes ensuring improvements to functionality and design. “We are currently filling an order for 35 bike racks across Sydney, each custom-built to suit a wide variety of environments,” says Chris.
“Helping to create bicycle-friendly cities is one of the most effective measures to help Australians fight climate change, the obesity epidemic, congestion and make our cities more liveable. Our tailored product is contributing to a greener tomorrow,” says Chris.
