Description
The compact Hiplok anchor. Same grinder resistant material and same Diamond rating as the AX1000, with a rotating base but no arm. Right for a bike that is parked in the same spot every day, with a D lock or a chain through it.
Hiplok make it from Ferosafe, the composite in their 1000 series locks, and say it takes an angle grinder at least 20 times longer to get through than a standard anchor. The base turns through 360 degrees so you can get a lock on from whichever side the bike ends up. Without the arm it sits flat against a wall, so you can park closer to it and keep the floor clear. It fixes to concrete or brick, floor or wall, inside or out.
A D lock through it is the simplest set up. With a long cargo bike you may want a chain to reach the frame, or the AX1000, whose arm does the reaching for you.
What you get
- Sold Secure Powered Cycle Diamond and ART 4 star, tested with the supplied fixings
- 360 degree rotating base
- Eight high security expansion bolts and plugs, the ball bearings, a 16 mm drill bit, a drilling template, instructions and a user guide
- Works with the D1000, the DX1000 or any D lock that fits, and with a chain
- Lifetime warranty when registered within 30 days
Hiplok say the ball bearings are optional for the install, but the anchor needs them to hold its Sold Secure Diamond rating. Shop collection or local delivery.
Fitting
It needs to go into concrete or brick with nothing hollow behind it, and you need an SDS Plus drill. Not got one? We can put you in touch with an independent local tradesperson who fits these, usually around £120 for this anchor, for homes within about three miles of the shop. Awkward spots are quoted on the day, and you pay them directly. Email us to arrange it. There is more on what to check before drilling in our ground anchor guide.
A good match for a Tern HSD or Quick Haul kept in a side return, or a Veloe Multi in a garage. The OnGuard Mastiff is the chain we would put through it.
Anchors and chains can go on a Cycle to Work voucher alongside a bike. Call 020 8347 5534 or pop in if you want to talk through where your bike lives.
