Falco has simplified and strengthened its two-tier cycle parking offering by merging the FalcoLevel-Premium+ and FalcoLevel-Eco into one unified product family. Previously presented as two separate systems, both designs have now been intelligently re-engineered to share a single standardised lower rack and frame, with the upper rack specification determining whether the solution is ‘Premium+’ or ‘Eco’. This refinement not only simplifies specification for Architects, Contractors and Project Managers, but also delivers greater consistency across installations, improved manufacturing efficiency and clearer product selection based on performance and budget requirements. At the core of the new FalcoLevel system is a redesigned, standardised lower structure used across both variants. The updated base frame now features integrated adjustment feet within the support posts, allowing precise levelling...
