Bikes can occupy a great deal of storage and floor space. You can create a more effective storage system by simply repurposing some of your indoor space. If you’re tired of these big items taking over the limited room you do have, keep reading to learn how to store a bike indoors!
Two Ways to Store a Bike Indoors
There are many indoor storage variations between commercial retail spaces, workout centers, police stations, and other facilities with large bike fleets. But a common trend we is that most aren’t using their “empty” spaces to their advantage. Our following recommendations to store bikes will help you make use of the shelving units you already have so you can avoid a costly remodel.
1. Overhead Bike Storage
When you are searching for a way to add storage to your business, look up. Are you noticing a lot of dead, empty, unused space? Rather than letting this go unused, transform your high ceilings into an indoor storage space. Loading your storage rack is as easy as placing your bicycle onto a hook. Then, through the push of a button, you can send your bike hanger back into its overhead place.
This space-saving method not only moves bicycles out of aisles and already-maxed-out storage rooms, but it also keeps items out of harm’s way at the floor level. The best part is that you can make use of your existing shelving, so installation is minimal. Often, it takes less than an hour to integrate an overhead bike storage rack! Configuration options are endless; you can build a custom bike lift suited to your specific needs.
2. Wall-Mounted Bike Storage
If you do not have overhead space, we still have a system for you. A wall-mounted bike rack may better suit your facility! This is often an ideal situation for polce with limited storage options. Like ceilings, wall space is often underutilized despite it being a perfect heavy-duty storage solution. Look for an automated mount with bike hooks with direct attachments. Wall-mounted storage options tend to be better if you need frequent access to your bikes. Rather than having employees climbing ladders constantly, you can minimize accidents through a wall-mounted bike shelf!
Finding the Best Indoor Multi-Bike Storage for Your Space
