Sportworks mounting rails allow 3-5 inverted U racks to be joined into a single unit that parks 6-10 bikes. These rail mounted units are ideal for temporary and modular applications, and also for surfaces that do not accept ground anchors. Common applications include on-street bike corrals, campuses, events, seasonal placements, and surfaces such as pavers, tile, and gravel.

Mounting rails are compatible with all Sportworks inverted U racks, except the Oahu and Circular racks. Unlike traditional steel designs, Sportworks mounting rails utilize a low-profile aluminum extrusion with clear anodized finish that is strong, lightweight, reduces slip and trip hazards, and excludes dirt with integrated end caps.

Finishes

Clear Anodize

Anodizing is an electrochemical process that converts the metal surface into a decorative, durable, corrosion-resistant, anodic oxide finish. Aluminum is ideally suited to anodizing, although other nonferrous metals, such as magnesium and titanium, also can be anodized. The anodic oxide structure originates from the aluminum substrate and is composed entirely of aluminum oxide. This aluminum oxide is not applied to the surface like paint or plating, but is fully integrated with the underlying aluminum substrate, so it cannot chip or peel.

Extruded Aluminum

Aluminum extrusion is a technique used to transform aluminum alloy into objects with a definitive cross-sectional profile for a wide range of uses. The extrusion process makes the most of aluminum's unique combination of physical characteristics. Its malleability allows it to be easily machined and cast, and yet aluminum is one third the density and stiffness of steel so the resulting products offer strength and stability, particularly when alloyed with other metals.
