Brompton Bike Hire
Turn-key manufacture, on-site installation and maintenance package for Brompton Bike Hire.
Modern, Iconic British Design, brought to life by ICEE.
The Brompton Bike Docking Station is a highly secure, modular enclosure, capable of storing hire cycles for use across major cities and towns. These iconic docking stations were meticulously designed by the team at Seymour Powell, and then manufactured and brought to life by ICEE.
Leveraging the latest manufacturing techniques, ICEE rapidly fabricates and assembles the Brompton Bike Docks, deploying them across UK sites as required. Our turn-key solution allows Brompton to have one point of contact at all times, for the complete build and management of the docking stations. Our 24 hour Field Support Team offer enhanced support at all times.
The Brompton Bike Docking Stations are brought to life by our turn-key design, manufacture and installation service.
Firstly, our in-house design team worked with the group at Seymour Powell, as well as Brompton, to ensure the design was manufacturable across our fabrication process. This included incorporating tolerances, manufacturing profiles and nesting the design across our CNC fleet of machinery. Once this crucial first stage is complete, our modern, innovative manufacturing process begins.
This starts with our Fibre Laser, who takes sheet metal and profiles it into shapes and parts, ready to be folded. Utilising fibre laser is a rapid way to profile bulk sheets of different metals, meaning we can produce the Brompton’s faster than ever before. After this, the profiled sheets are cleaned, and prepared for folding. This stage is where the components of the docking stations begin to come to life, as the angles and formations are created.
Once folded, any parts needed for welding are sent to our dedicated fabrication workshop, in which we utilise the latest MIG, TIG and SPOT Welding methods. Different parts are then assembled, and all components sent off to be powder coated. Once powder coating is complete, the components move to our assembly and integration workshop, where all assembly, both electrical and mechanical, is complete.
All products are then electrically tested and inspected, before being packaged ready for our field team to begin installation on site.
