Bicycle Parking Facility for Sale

A bicycle parking facility purchase is worthwhile when you have a structural need for bicycle parking: at your business premises, school, sports club, or for an event that returns each year. We supply single-sided and double-sided bicycle racks, Sheffield stands and bicycle hoops, new or used, and can install them on location if required. Delivered from Almkerk, throughout the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany.

A good bicycle parking facility is a one-time investment. Our racks are made of steel built to withstand intensive use and all weather conditions, and are available in finishes such as hot-dip galvanised, powder-coated or stainless steel. You will not notice the difference in the first month, but you certainly will in the tenth year: no rust, no sunken feet, no rattling brackets. A facility that looks well-maintained also helps keep the surrounding area tidy, as cyclists will naturally place their bikes in the designated spaces when that is the most convenient option.

When purchasing a bicycle parking facility, it is important to look beyond the price per rack. The questions that truly matter are: how many bicycles need to be accommodated at peak times, how much space is available, does the facility need to be movable or permanently anchored, and how important is theft prevention? A school has different requirements from a railway station, and a festival organisation managing its own racks has different needs again from a municipality.

We think through those considerations with you, drawing on what we use ourselves every day. Everything we sell is also deployed in our own rental projects. Equipment that is loaded and unloaded thousands of times on festival sites, and that goes on and off a trailer many times a year, proves its durability in practice. That hands-on experience informs every piece of advice we give you.

Take capacity seriously before you place an order. Count the number of bicycles parked on both an average day and a peak day, including any bicycles left beside the existing racks, as those in particular reveal how many spaces you are short of. A facility designed for peak demand prevents ad hoc parking from simply returning after a few weeks. If you are unsure of the numbers, we are happy to work them out with you based on your count and the available space.

The range consists of four main categories. Single-sided bicycle racks are placed against a wall or fence, with bicycles entering from one side only. Double-sided racks stand freely in the space and make the most efficient use of it, with bicycles on both sides. Sheffield stands are U-shaped hoops that secure a bicycle at two points, the standard choice for public spaces where theft prevention and an open appearance matter. Bicycle hoops are the robust variant for locations that need to withstand a certain amount of impact.

Within these categories, you determine the specification: the length of the sections, the finish, and whether the bicycle parking facility stands freely or is fixed to the ground. This allows us to put together exactly what suits each location. If you are undecided between two options, we will set out the differences in capacity and price side by side, so that you can make your decision based on figures rather than gut feeling.

Are you expecting fluctuating numbers, for instance because usage is still expected to grow? In that case, a modular setup is a sensible choice: you start with the spaces you need now and expand later using the same sections. This way, you avoid both a half-empty bicycle parking facility and a shortage in the second year.

Alongside new bicycle parking facilities, we also sell used units from our own rental fleet. These racks have been inspected, straightened and are complete, and cost considerably less than new ones. For many buyers, this is the most sensible route: a bicycle parking facility that is technically sound, with only the kind of wear and tear that quickly reappears on any outdoor bicycle parking facility anyway. You can find the current availability at used bicycle parking facility.

Buying new has its own merits. You decide on the exact specification and finish, everything is unused, and for larger quantities we produce the bicycle parking facility precisely to your specifications. For representative locations, such as the entrance to an office building or a municipal project with visual quality requirements, new is usually the logical choice.

There is no wrong answer; there is, however, an answer that suits your situation and budget better. Request both options in your quotation and you will see the price difference in black and white, allowing you to make the decision yourself. If you are looking for individual bicycle racks rather than a complete bicycle parking facility, please also visit bicycle rack purchase.

The rule of thumb is straightforward. If you use the bicycle parking facility year-round or your event recurs frequently, purchasing is more cost-effective in the long run: you pay once and that is that. If you only need the spaces for a few days or weeks per year, hiring is the better choice, as you only pay for the days the racks are in place and you have no storage requirements. You can find out how that works at bicycle parking facility hire.

Many clients combine both options. A municipality purchases a permanent bicycle parking facility for the station square and hires additional temporary spaces during the summer festivals. A festival organisation purchases a base stock for its own site and hires extra capacity on top during peak periods. Because we both sell and hire, you do not need to deal with two separate suppliers, and the systems integrate seamlessly.

Not sure which option suits you? Work through the figures with us. You tell us how often and for how long you use the bicycle parking facility, and we set the hire cost over several years alongside the purchase price. This costs you nothing, and the outcome is often surprisingly clear-cut. That way, you can be confident that purchasing a bicycle parking facility is a decision based on solid numbers.

When making that calculation, also consider what is required around the bicycle parking facility itself. A purchased facility requires a location that you manage yourself, and for an event that also involves assembly, dismantling, and storage for the remainder of the year. Those who would rather not take on that work in-house opt for hire with assembly included. Those who have a permanent site manager and storage space will typically recoup the cost of a purchased bicycle parking facility within just a few seasons.

It starts with your enquiry: the location, the number of spaces required, and optionally a photo or site plan of the area. This is followed by a quotation containing:

• the type of bicycle parking facility and specification, new or used
• the number of sections and the capacity in bicycle spaces
• the delivery time, usually directly from stock
• the transport costs to your location
• optionally: installation and assembly by our own team

Once agreed, we schedule the delivery. Small quantities are delivered in our own van, while large orders are transported by trailer; our fleet complies with current European regulations and is therefore permitted to enter low-emission zones as well. If you opt for installation, our fitters will position the bicycle parking facility level and securely, anchored where required and freestanding where possible.

Our support does not end at delivery. Additional sections can be ordered at any time, as the systems remain available. And should your needs ever outgrow your own bicycle parking facility, you can simply hire extra spaces from us. That way, one phone call is always enough, whatever changes, from a single additional section to a second bicycle parking facility at a new location.
