Case Studies

The new FalcoSafe cycle lockers at Milton Keynes Railway Station have proven to be a great success. Falco has had a close working with Milton Keynes Council for many years and the partnership has strengthened following the positive response from the users of the FalcoSafe cycle lockers. Installation cycle lockers Two years ago Falco installed 80 of FalcoSafe Round cycle lockers after high demand from regular commuters for a secure area to store bicycles. These cycle lockers proved to be a huge success after no bicycles were stolen or vandalised in these 2 years and word began to get around. More demand arose for the cycle lockers which prompted Milton Keynes Council to commission 70 more of the lockers which Falco installed last month. Personal cycle locker These cycle lockers were personalised with the ‘Cycle MK’ Milton Keynes logo and the cycle lockers are leased out to the public for a small annual fee. The demand for these lockers is so high that Milton Keynes still has a rented waiting list for more of the personalised cycle lockers to be installed at the station. More about the FalcoSafe cycle locker The FalcoSafe cycle Locker is a robust and secure cycle storage unit which protects bicycles and mopeds from the destructive effects of vandals and weather conditions. The steelwork is hot dip galvanised to BS EN ISO 1461 to provide long lasting protection and Milton Keynes decided to have the doors powder coated in one of our many RAL colours. Any number of cycle lockers can be linked together and in addition, the lockers can also be placed back to back. This great flexibility allows you to choose your own combinations and lengths. The standard cycle locker is suitable for securing with a user’s padlock and with coin return.

Near to Blackfriars Bridge within view of the dome St Pauls Cathedral, the City’s commuter station for the Thameslink line welcomes Falco’s latest installation and the cost effective cycle racks blend in well against their urban surroundings. The FalcoLevel was the product identified to meet the station’s demands as space was the main constraint.  The FalcoLevel is a two tier cycle parking system that can allocate twice as many bikes as any other traditional cycle parking products. This is particularly convenient for locations with minimum space due to its unique design. There is a growing requirement for “two tier” cycle parking systems; especially in areas of high popular densities such as; stations, shopping centres and schools. The FalcoLevel can accommodate any type of bicycle, from town bikes to mountain bikes and there is a dedicated locking point so that bikes can be chained to the cycle rack to maximise security. The lower rack has a sloping wheel channel, so the user does not have to bend between the levels which makes this Falco cycle parking system simple and easy to use for all ages. There is also the option to have the FalcoLevel powder coated in any of the 192 RAL colours that Falco provides. The commuters of our capital can now be reassured that their bicycles are securely parked as they carry out their work schedule!
