AMERICAN BICYCLE SECURITY COMPANY

American Bicycle Security Company (ABS) manufactures, at their own facility, the widest product line in the industry. We produce tailor-made solutions to every situation, from a single bike rack to a city block of bicycle lockers. We have worked with city planners, architects and designers, corporations and engineering firms on building security systems from planning to installation.

Models 351, 351P & 352 are our top of the line bike lockers, more durable, more attractive and lower maintenance. Preferred choice by transit agencies across the country.
  • Fiberglass reinforced plastic construction is highly resistant to impact and scratching
  • The finish never needs painting, will not rust or corrode and is extremely resistant to most stains
  • The standard key-lock mechanism is completely internal and resists tampering
  • Reduced costs due to low maintenance and long life
  • High security due to built-in door locks with concealed hinges, locking bar from top to bottom of door



Structure and Finish

Molded composite lockers shall be manufactured with fiberglass reinforced plastic with a solid color stipple texture finish. Finish allows easy removal of graffiti and is resistant to impact, scratches and U.V. damage. Lockers shall not use an external or internal frame. Walls and top shall be double wall construction for high strength and insulation from the elements, roof shall be crowned for water run off and all corners are curved. Finish does not need painting, resists impact plus chemicals and stains. Materials will withstand extremes in temperature and other weather/environmental conditions. Interior walls shall be OSB exterior board. The locker body components shall be joined by internal fasteners. Seven standard colors or OPTIONAL CUSTOM COLORS matched to your sample.

Safety-View Security viewing windows & walls

300 & 350 Series Lockers – New or replacement


With the growing concern about security at Transit Center and Rail Stations you don’t need to also worry about what is in your bike lockers!
  • The Safety-View™ window and walls from American Bicycle Security Co. allow transit police to see what is in the locker at a glance while not compromising the security of the bike inside
  • Safety-View™ window and walls in acrylic or 16 gauge perforated steel, powder coated black for maximum visibility, perforation hole size was chosen to allow maximum visibility without room for cutting tools. (Other special order materials for window can be specified, ie: stainless steel)
  • Safety-View™ window size provides complete view with minimal weather exposure on the bike

Stand Out – Be Recognized – Graphics
  • Immediate recognition & awareness with your logo in view of the public or your employees
  • Logo becomes part of the locker finish in manufacturing, not a painted-on after thought
  • With the same high quality gelcoat with UV inhibitors used in the finish of the lockers your logo can’t be peeled or scrapped off by vandals
  • Many single color logos can be done at no additional cost with your locker order
  • Send the color and logo on a CD, diskette or print  for scanning and we will take it from there

PN# 010 – Heavy Duty pad lock system will accommodate high security pad locks (padlocks not included)
PN# 012 – Master keyed "T" handle locks with three user keys and removable lock cylinders
PN# 013 – Coin or Token operated locks for collection or return
PN# 015 – MEDECO™ Stainless Steel high security T-Handle lock

Door hold back/check system – This attachment will keep door open when parking or removing bike and also will keep door closed. Recommended for lockers with padlock and coin-operated locks. Keeps doors from swinging open with wind or closing if lockers are on a slope.


Electronic Bike Charging Station
Our “Green” answer...


With a world wide focus on alternative energy sources and the necessity of alternative transportation, the electric bike has proven a realistic and affordable source of transportation, applying to commuters, recreation and law enforcement.

Solar Charging Stations for electric assisted bikes are based on the popular BIKE-SHELL® 352 all fiberglass lockers redesigned to accommodate a solar powered generating system to give that boost when away from home.

The Solar-Shell™ charging stations incorporate PV (Photovoltaic) panels, electronics and plug-in for battery charging. They arrive with panels preset at the proper angle for optimum exposure at your latitude.
  • Uses PV (Photovoltaic) panels, controller unit, a Solar/Cell maintenance free sealed gel battery and 12 VDC to 110 VAC inverter outlet to accommodate battery charging
  • Fiberglass reinforced plastic is highly resistant to impact and scratching
  • Finish never needs painting, will not rust or corrode and is extremely stain resistant
  • The standard key-lock mechanism is completely internal and resists tampering
  • Reduced costs due to low maintenance and long life


Specifications:
System– The basic unit is composed of a PV (photovoltaic) panel, controller unit, 12V to 110V inverter and a Solar/Cell maintenance free sealed gel battery (for photovoltaic applications). In simple terms, the PV panel maintains the charge in the battery, the 12V battery power is converted to 110V through the inverter which powers the internal battery charger on the bike. By having the battery, there is power available to charge in low sun light conditions.
All of these components were designed as an integrated system for this application to provide maximum output and battery charging capability. These components are all integrated into the new Solar-Shell™ locker.

Design– One of the unique features of the new Solar-Shell™ locker is that the angle of the PV panel can be adjusted to optimize year-round sun based on the geographic latitude at which the locker is located. You provide the latitude and our technicians will see that the PV panel is set when it arrives. Our current locker allows PV panel angle adjustment to accommodate latitudes of the continental US and other countries which fall into the same latitude band in both the Northern & Southern hemisphere. 
Other latitudes accommodated upon request.
 
Circuitry– Electrical building codes are not a problem with the system operating at a safe 12 volts DC. The bike charging unit plugs directly into a U.L. approved inverter. For protection to the electrical components we have a controller module with automatic shut down circuitry which prevents damage to the electronic components under a number of situations. And should the system go into an automatic shut down, it is self initializing which means it will resume charging on its own. Other voltages can be readily accommodated for International applications.

Optional Features
  • Heavy Duty pad lock system that will accommodate high security pad locks
  • Safety-View™ windows and walls to check contents of lockers, acrylic or perforated metal
  • Coin or Token operated locks for collection or return
