Secured by Design Semi Vertical Bike Rack

 
 
The standard Semi Vertical Cycle Rack delivers excellent security. The Secured by Design variant goes further. This product has been independently tested and certified to Sold Secure Silver standard and carries Police Preferred Specification status under the official UK police security initiative, a meaningful, documented upgrade for projects where security accreditation is a specification requirement or a planning condition
 
The physical upgrades are significant. Unlike a standard rack, every connection uses non-returnable security fixings, meaning the rack cannot be disassembled without specialist tooling. Ground anchoring is via expanding security bolts per stand, fitted with security armour ring caps to prevent tampering at the base. The heavier gauge framework and reinforced bike channels lock both frame and wheels securely to the rack, eliminating the weak points a determined thief would target.
 

Key Product Features:

  • Secured by Design Accredited: Sold Secure Silver certified and recognised as a Police Preferred Specification product under the official UK police security initiative.
  • Tested for High-Risk Environments: Certified to Sold Secure Silver standard following independent physical testing against an enhanced tool list, designed to simulate a determined attack. Suitable for higher-risk installations including communal areas, transport hubs & open-access locations.
  • Non-Returnable Security Fixings: Connections use non-returnable fixings, preventing disassembly without specialist tooling.
  • Tamper-Resistant Ground Anchoring: Expanding security bolts per stand fitted with security armour ring caps, securing the rack at its base.
  • Uprated Security Hoops: The locking hoops are manufactured to a greater gauge than the standard Semi Vertical Cycle Rack, securing both frame and wheels at the critical contact points.
  • High-Capacity Format: Doubles parking density within the same footprint as a single-tier system, suited to constrained internal areas.
  • Modular Format: Available in single-sided and back-to-back configurations to suit varying site layouts and capacity requirements.
  • Durable Construction: Hot-dipped galvanised steel to BS EN ISO 1461:2022 for long-term corrosion resistance.
  • Bespoke Finishes: Galvanised as standard, with optional polyester powder-coating in any RAL colour.

Product Description

Secured by Design Semi Vertical Bike Rack

The Semi Vertical Cycle Rack is a compact, high-capacity storage solution that maximises cycle parking density without the lifting effort of a two-tier system. Our Secured by Design variant builds on this proven design with Sold Secure Silver accreditation and Police Preferred Specification status, giving architects, developers and contractors a security-certified racking solution for projects where independently accredited cycle storage is required.

 

Independently Tested Security

The Sold Secure Silver rating means this rack has been independently tested against a defined tool list, including heavy manual and light electrical tools. For specifiers working to Secured by Design guidelines, local planning conditions or client security briefs, it provides documented evidence of attack resistance and a clear, auditable compliance route that standard, non-certified racks cannot offer. Built-in high-security locking hoops allow both frame and wheels to be secure to the rack, delivering reliable theft deterrence across all configurations.

 

Standard & E-Bike Configurations

The Secured by Design Semi Vertical Cycle Rack is available in two configurations to suit project requirements:

  • Standard: Designed for conventional bicycles, with integrated high-security locking hoops and all fixtures and fittings supplied for assembly. Ideal for residential developments, commercial offices, schools and secure cycle rooms.
  • E-Bike: Engineered to accommodate the increased weight and frame profiles of electric bicycles, with integrated twin-gang 13A 240V charging sockets as standard. Built to support modern commuting patterns and future-ready transport infrastructure.

Both configurations feature staggered rack heights for improved accessibility and are available in single or back-to-back layouts to maximise capacity within the available space. The e-bike variant requires a minimum ceiling height of 2.2m, making it well suited to basements, car parks and covered cycle stores.

 

Flexible & Scalable

The modular format means racks can be extended indefinitely to match current and future demand. Whether you need a compact installation for a small office or a large-scale deployment across a residential scheme, the system scales without compromising on security certification or build quality. Quantity discounts are available for bulk orders.

 

Durable & Low Maintenance

Constructed from hot-dipped galvanised steel to BS EN ISO 1461:2022, the rack is built for long-term performance in high-traffic internal and external environments. Optional polyester powder-coating in any standard RAL colour allows the rack to complement the architectural setting of the site.

I was skeptical to begin with (big project costing a lot of money) but all fears were allayed once I started to converse with James and the team. Along with the fact that it wasn't my project to begin with, I had picked it up from someone else who had left the school and had all the quotes.

I found the service offered by The Bike Storage Company professional, accommodating and delivered to timescale. The guys in the office were responsive to emails and actually answered questions regarding the installation and the engineers that came to put up the bike shelter actually took on board site specifics in terms of the student start and finish times and also cordoned off the works to ensure safety. Really great service offered and I'd be happy to come back and get any other projects done in the future which I think the school is planning to do. We've also seen a massive increase in student's that ride to school as well which is great!
