Case Studies
This is the bespoke cycle hub Falco recently designed, manufactured, supplied and installed for Ullapool Harbour in Ross-shire, Scottish Highlands.
Ullapool Harbour first approached Falco with a requirement to provide visitors with secure cycle parking which also doubled as a waiting shelter so that cyclists can park their bike and take shelter whilst waiting for the ferry. The steel frame of the cycle hub was to be powder coated in the same colour as the existing building next door to create a consistent co-ordinated theme.
The cycle hub is based on the best selling ‘FalcoHub’ design, the shelter provides visitors with up to ten secure cycle parking spaces using the traditional Toaster cycle rack as well as two FalcoNorma benches and branding vinyl graphics.
The cycle hub is manufactured from 100% recyclable hot-dip galvanised steel and powder coated in RAL 7035 Traffic Grey to enhance durability. The glass is manufactured from reinforced safety glass which is toughened, laminated and heat soaked.
The image attached shows the newly installed cycle hub at Ullapool Harbour on a typical cloudy highland afternoon!
