Safety features
GRIN Base™ has many advantages such as storage efficiency and processing capacity, but the most important one is the safe environment. Considering the safety of both users and bicycles, it is equipped with various safety features including a highly safety shutter shape.
| Parking / Retrieval Door | The door only opens when bicycles passes through. This prevents users from entering the GRIN Base. |
|---|---|
| Side Guard | The guard prevents entry by children and ensures safety. |
| Insertion Slot | With the original mechanism of GIKEN, the slot opens only to the width of a tire when loading a bicycle, which prevents accidental entry and dropping of personal belongings. |
| Guide Rail | The sensors automatically detect and alert the user to take corrective action when the wheels are off the rail or when the rear wheel is locked, which will interfere with the transfer operation. |
| Pressure Sensor Mat | Sensor mat is designed to stop operation when a person is standing on the mat. If someone stands on the mat when a bicycle is passing through the door, the operation will be halted and the bicycle will be returned at a safe speed. |
| Earthquake Detection Sensor | An earthquake exceeding 100 gals will trigger an automatic halt to protect the bicycles. |
