Best Bike Racks for Basement Parking

What bike storage rack is best for end-of-trip facilities or basement bike storerooms?

Area Safe has a range of bike racks that are specially designed to accommodate as many bikes as possible in secure bike cages. The best planned bike storage rooms will use several different types of bike racks within the same bike compound for the best utilisation of space. Basements have many building services to contend with such as air vents, ducting, pump rooms, electrical cable trays and conduits, wire mesh fences etc, all of which tend to reduce the amount of usable space for bike racks. Area Safe recommends the following bike racks to make the best use of parking space in basements:
