Plaza™ High Density Bike Rack - Single Sided

The Plaza single sided bike rack was designed to address the shortcomings of existing “coat hanger" style racks. With it's “zero clearance" mounting capability, the rack can be installed directly next to a building or structure, maximizing space efficiency.

The Plaza's angled parking orientation minimizes bike-to-bike interference, allowing for easy loading and unloading and promotes a clean, orderly appearance. Each bike is provided its own parking location and is supported so handlebars can't twist, keeping bikes upright. The Plaza™ meets APBP bike parking standards allowing both the bike's wheel and frame to be secured using a variety of lock types.

The single sided Plaza is available in both six and four bike versions, and can be ordered in stainless steel or powder coated mild steel. The Plaza is easily and efficiently installed with two mounting anchors.

TGIC Powder Coat

This polyester-based finish is well suited for bike racks made from mild steel, and is available in a wide variety of colors. Powder coating serves as a protective barrier to the various environment elements that cause corrosion. To further increase corrosion resistance, Sportworks recommends an additional zinc plated undercoat be applied prior to the powder coating process. Zinc acts as a sacrificial anode to protect the base metal from corrosion should the powder coat become chipped.

PPA-571 Thermoplastic Powder Coat

This thermoplastic finish is also well suited for mild steel racks, and Plascoat’s special formulation (PPA-571) produces a more flexible and robust coating. When compared to polyester-based powder coatings, PPA-571 thermoplastic powder coatings are tougher, more resistant to chips, and naturally graffiti resistant. This finish is also available in a wide variety of colors.

Bead Blast

Unlike powder coating and galvanizing, this finish removes material during the application process, and is ideal for stainless steel racks. Small glass particles (media) traveling at high velocities impact the metal removing the outer surface, and resulting in a mildly-textured or matted finish. Similar to galvanizing, there are no color options available for this type of finish. Sportworks stainless steel bike racks represent the highest level of corrosion protection available.

Mild Steel

The primary alloying element of mild steel is carbon. This enables bending and forming, while maintaining strong mechanical properties. A finish is required for outdoor applications (galvanizing, plating, powder coating, thermoplastics, or painting) as unfinished mild steel will rust and corrode when exposed to air and moisture.

Stainless Steel

Stainless steel does not stain, corrode, or rust as easily as mild steel because it contains more chromium and nickel. A passive film of oxides prevents surface corrosion and blocks corrosion from spreading into the internal structure of the metal. Stainless steel can still corrode and discolor in certain environments, however the strength and appearance can withstand exposure in most outdoor locations.

Mounting Options Plaza 3010

Surface mount uses permanent or removable anchors to secure the bicycle rack mounting flange to concrete.

Concrete Wedge Anchor

Concrete Wedge Anchors, 1/2” Diameter x 4.25” Length, Stainless Steel, with 1/2-13 Hex Nut

Asphalt Anchor

Asphalt Anchor, 12” Length, Epoxy in Ground, Includes Epoxy, Hex Head Bolt 7/16”-14 x 2.5” Length and Washer

Breakaway Nut Pre Installation

The breakaway nut consists of a hex nut portion at the top and a smooth conical sleeve located just below. Install the wedge anchor using standard tools and then tighten the breakaway nut.

Breakaway Nut Installed

The hex portion of the nut will shear off when the design shear torque is exceeded. Once the hex nut shears off, only the smooth conical sleeve will remain. The tamper resistant anchor is now installed. The cone is shaped so standard tools will not be able to grip and remove the nut.
