?Gas springs support the upper tiers of two-tier bike racks, helping the user safely lower and raise their bicycle.?

Without gas-assisted lifting, the upper tier becomes not only difficult to use, but a hazard to both users and passers by.?

A typical bike can weigh anywhere between 8-30kg. Taking into account this weight, in combination with the weight of the rack, a non-gas rack presents an injury risk during its operation.?

Above all else, a gas spring ensures that the user comes first and we are able to make sure as many people as possible are able to use the racks.?

For any bike store or facility, in any instance, we only recommend specifying gas-assisted two-tier bike racks.?

Some users will find two tier racks intimidating to use and therefore under utilised. Furthermore can two tier racks store non-standard / adapted cycles?
