Byk-Rak 1 Position (Solo)
Byk-Rak
Description
Commercial Grade Construction: The Byk-Rak frame is constructed with 304 stainless steel and the wall thickness is 3 mm. This makes for a cost-effective choice that will enable the rack to be durable for the everyday transit use. It is designed to go through a bus wash and requires very little maintenance.
Reliability: No reported malfunction of a bicycle that fell out of the bike rack due to the locking system. The patented locking system has 3 points of contact on the tire that has constant pressure applied with the gas shock. This shock is made by SUSPA who makes several model gas pressured shocks that are already on many bus applications.
Safety: A series of tests were administrated to determine the average loading and unloading speed of bicycles into the bike rack. These tests were completed by people who have no experience with the Byk-Rak system, using a variety of bikes, and included stowing and lowering the Byk-Rak from its stored position. Amazingly, the average time of operation for either loading or unloading was 10 seconds or less!
Products: We offer 2 and 3 position bike racks. We also have removable rail bike racks that are “modular” in design. This enables the maintenance department to replace large components instead of the entire bike rack. This will save time and money.
Finishes: We can offer both stainless steel and also mild steel powder coated bike racks. Our stainless steel racks can be powder coated to colour, electropolished (chrome like finish) and non-glare bead blasted (dull gray finish).
