Two Tier Bike Rack Lift Assisted – Gas Assisted Double Decker Bike Storage

Our Two Tier Bike Rack Lift Assisted systems provide high-capacity bicycle parking with effortless usability. Designed and manufactured in the UK, these gas-assisted two tier cycle racks use integrated gas struts or hydraulic lift mechanisms to help raise and lower bikes onto the upper tier.

This advanced double decker bike rack system makes parking heavy bikes—including mountain bikes and e-bikes—simple, safe, and efficient. Ideal for commercial developments, residential apartments, railway stations, universities, offices, and public cycle hubs, lift-assisted racks maximise cycle parking capacity while improving user accessibility.

If you need a high-density bike storage solution in the UK, these lift-assisted two tier bicycle racks deliver exceptional convenience and durability.

Why Choose a Lift Assisted Two Tier Bike Rack?

High-Density Bicycle Parking

A two tier bike rack system effectively doubles bicycle parking capacity without expanding your floor space. This makes it the perfect solution for:

• Commercial developments

• Transport hubs

• Apartment blocks

• Universities and schools

• Office cycle parking areas

• Public bike storage facilities

With urban cycling increasing across the UK, space-efficient cycle parking systems are essential for modern infrastructure.

How Does a Lift-Assisted Two Tier Bike Rack Work?

Smooth Lift Mechanism with Gas Struts

Each upper-tier rail features integrated gas struts that counterbalance the weight of the bicycle. This means users can lift bikes onto the upper rack with minimal effort, improving accessibility and safety.

The gas-assisted lift system provides:

• Smooth lifting motion

• Controlled lowering

• Reduced physical strain

• Safe and reliable operation

This makes the system especially useful for heavy bicycles such as e-bikes or mountain bikes.
