Case Studies
This is the new FalcoCargoBox manufactured, supplied and installed by Falco for registered charity - the Shoreditch Trust, on behalf of the London Borough of Hackney. Incorporating a dazzling, eye-catching branded theme wrap design, the FalcoCargoBox is located at the charities head office on Orsman Road, Hackney and provides users with secure accommodation for a wide variety of cycles including cargo bikes, e-cargo bikes, adaptive bikes and oversized bikes.
The specially designed FalcoCargoBox is fitted with the FalcoSmart locking-app, enabling users to operate the cargo hangar with their smartphone, omitting the need for physical keys, fobs or swipe cards.
As demonstrated here, one of the great features of the FalcoCargobox is how attractive it can look, with the smooth design of the locker enabling it to host a variety of patterns, images, maps, collages, optical illusions and themes.
The images attached show the new eye-catching FalcoCargoBox delivered and installed by Falco this summer.
The secure cargo bike locker makes use of a high security lock. The large double doors at the front of the locker coupled with a gas-assisted lid, provide wide accessibility for a variety of cargo bike shapes and sizes.
Introduced in 2021, the FalcoCargoBox was designed to provide secure cycle parking for the increasing trend for cargo and adaptive bikes and is the only product of its type currently available in the UK.
The FalcoCargobox is simple and easy to use. Two securely locked front doors open to provide easy accessibility from the front and an innovative gas-strut assisted lid can be opened to provide easy accessibility from above. Together when fully opened, the FalcoCargobox is an open and spacious cargo bike storage solution that is easily operated.
The scheme here for the Shoreditch Trust is the fifth FalcoCargoBox installation in the UK, with the first scheme launch taking place last year in Hackney offering the UK’s first public cargo bike hire scheme, operated by Beryl Bikes on behalf of the London Borough of Hackney. Other schemes include the UK’s first network of cargo bike lockers for the University of Bristol, a cargo bike locker for charity ‘Climate Action Ilkley’ and a cargo bike locker for NHS Grampian.
The FalcoCargoBox is just one of four Cargo bike storage products manufactured by Falco with the full range as follows:
- FalcoPod-Cargo – standard bike hangar without the bike racks.
- FalcoCargoPod - as above with an extended back for longer cargo bikes.
- FalcoCargoBox – specifically designed for larger cargo bikes as per the Ilkley scheme.
- FalcoLok-Cargo – a walk in store with space for two large cargo bikes and additional equipment.
