Bike & Maintenance Stands
Showing the single result
Our bike stands are made in Britain for streets, schools, workplaces and residential schemes. Choose the galvanised Sheffield stand, its stainless steel version or the Secured by Design Sheffield stand, each with overground or underground fixings. For e-bikes, the e-bike charging stand charges two bikes at once, and the range also includes a public maintenance stand and a wash station.
Choosing a cycle stand
Most commercial schemes use Sheffield stands, which hold two bikes each and let both the frame and a wheel be locked to the stand. A Sheffield layout also opens out easily to wider aisles, so the same stand works for accessible spaces and cargo bikes. The other designs change the look, the material or the bikes a stand suits. Every stand below comes in an overground version for bolting to concrete and an underground version for root fixing.
Where floor space is tight, our two-tier racks, semi-vertical racks and vertical bike racks fit more bikes into the same store.
| Stand | Bikes | Material and finish | Width | Lead time | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Galvanised Sheffield | 2 | Mild steel, hot-dip galvanised to BS EN ISO 1461:2022; powdercoat optional | 750mm | 3 days – 3 weeks, depending on quantity | Most schemes |
| Stainless Sheffield | 2 | Stainless steel | 750mm | 1 – 4 weeks | Public realm and high-specification schemes |
| Secured by Design Sheffield | 2 | Galvanised to BS EN ISO 1461:2022, 10mm plate locking hoops; powdercoat optional | 750mm | 2 – 4 weeks | Secured by Design applications (Sold Secure Silver) |
| London stand | 2 | Steel, black polyurethane finish, tapping bar and reflective tape | 750mm | 2 – 4 weeks | Streets and footways, where the tapping bar helps visually impaired pedestrians |
| Crossbar | 2 | Galvanised mild steel; stainless option | 750mm | 5 – 10 days | Large quantities and short programmes |
| Safety Pin | 2 | 50mm stainless steel tube | 370mm | 2 – 3 weeks | Narrow strips and architectural schemes |

| Cargo stand | 2 cargo or utility bikes | Galvanised; RAL or stainless 304 / 316 | 1,500mm long | 2 – 3 weeks | The cargo and adapted cycle spaces LTN 1/20 asks for |
How far apart should cycle stands be?
Our standard is 750mm between Sheffield stand centres, because nine in ten of our clients ask for the most spaces a cycle store can take. LTN 1/20 Table 11-2 gives 1.0m as the minimum and 1.2m as recommended, and we supply to that spacing on request. LTN 1/20 also spaces cargo and adapted cycles 2.0m apart (11.4.8), which is the bay our cargo stand is drawn to. Stand-to-wall gaps, aisle widths and full layouts are in our cycle parking dimensions and spacing guide, and the provision tables are on the LTN 1/20 standards hub. The Sheffield stand DWG drops straight into a site plan, and our design team will draw the layout for free.
Secured by Design cycle stands
For a Secured by Design application, specify the Secured by Design Sheffield stand, which carries Sold Secure Silver certification and Police Preferred Specification status. Its locking hoops are 10mm plate, substantially thicker than on the standard stand, and it fixes with tamper-resistant anchors. It takes standard bikes, e-bikes and wider-tyre frames. Where e-bikes or high-value bikes need an extra fixing point, add the secure cycle ground anchor. It is 5mm steel held by two high-security Rawl bolts and works alongside our racks and shelters.
Galvanised or stainless, root fix or bolt down
Galvanised mild steel suits most sites, and we hot-dip galvanise to BS EN ISO 1461:2022 with a 75µm minimum coating. Where a stand has to match the scheme, we powdercoat over the galvanising in any RAL colour. Stainless steel comes in Grade 304 as standard and Grade 316 for coastal or high-exposure sites. Underground stands are root fixed into concrete pockets, so they suit tarmac, paving and grass; overground stands bolt down onto an existing concrete base. Our guidance on bases and fixings covers both methods.
E-bike charging, maintenance stands and wash stations
The e-bike charging stand charges two bikes at once from IP66-rated sockets. Each socket sits behind its own key-locked panel, so two riders can charge independently. The public bike maintenance stand carries eight tools on steel aircraft cables and is powdercoated in a RAL colour to suit the site, with galvanising underneath as an option for exposed sites. A bike wash station and a cycle stair ramp finish a basement store or an end-of-trip facility.
Where our stands are installed
At Canada Water in London, galvanised Sheffield stands sit in Cycle Store A beside two-tier racks, for users who cannot lift a bike onto an upper tier. Homebase Wandsworth has Grade 304 stainless Sheffield stands alongside Richmond shelters, bollards and benches. At Boldon House for Durham University, Sheffield stands with e-bike charging provision sit inside an Amazon Eco shelter.
Cycle stand questions
How many bikes does a Sheffield stand hold? Two, one on each side, with the frame and a wheel locked to the stand. The same applies to our London, Crossbar and other Sheffield-style stands.
Should we choose galvanised or stainless steel? Galvanised suits most sites and can be powdercoated to any RAL colour. Stainless Grade 304 gives a premium finish for public realm schemes, and Grade 316 is the choice near the coast.
Can stands go into existing paving? Yes. Underground stands are root fixed into concrete pockets and the paving is reinstated around them; where there is already a concrete base, overground stands bolt straight down.
