Case Studies
These are the latest Falco cycle hubs and cycle parking infrastructure installed this month for five sites across the NHS Grampian Health Board of regional hospitals in Aberdeen.
Adopting the traditional FalcoHub design, the new 8m x 3m trio of cycle hubs are coupled with the Falco Toaster cycle rack, providing up to twenty simple and practical cycle parking spaces for staff, patient and visitor use.
Each cycle hub is clad in an eye-catching and powder coated, pierced steel in RAL 6017 Turquoise Green and fitted with a mechanical code lock at each entrance providing secure access to all three hubs.
In addition to the trio of cycle hubs, Falco also supplied a popular 4m powder coated FalcoQuarter cycle shelter with Toaster cycle rack providing up to ten cycle parking spaces and a FalcoVert-Pro semi-vertical cycle rack for up to six bikes.
In addition to the NHS Grampian hospitals shown here, Falco has also recently supplied cycle parking infrastructure for NHS Queen Margaret Hospital in Dunfermline, Newham University NHS Hospital, Royal Berkshire NHS Hospital in Reading, Salford Royal NHS Hospital, NHS Greater Glasgow & Clyde and Heatherwood NHS Hospital in Ascot.

The FalcoHubs as shown here at NHS Grampian, are contemporary cycle stores manufactured from a combination of a galvanised steel frame and powder coated pierced steel, designed to be sympathetic to the surrounding area. The FalcoHub was developed by Falco’s in house design team to ensure it met the client’s specification including structural calculations so that the whole design meets the UK/European CPR regulations EN1090 and is CE marked as per UK law.
