Why Should I Use Industrial Clothing Racks in my Store?
With retail being an extremely competitive industry, it’s important to ensure that your clothes sit perfectly in your store. Whether they’re on a shelf, hanging rail, or mounted to the wall, industrial racks are the most sturdy and long lasting option on the market. The type and style of racks or shelves you choose will significantly affect the ambiance of your store and the buying process.
A fantastic feature of these storage units is their versatility. They come in different sizes, adjustability features, different styles and colours, and they will hold your products exactly the way you want them. Their height and length can be adjusted, amongst other useful features, and their long shelf life guarantees a budget friendly investment in the long run.
Bent Rail vs Freestanding Racks
These are the most common types of racks you’ll find in retail stores. They are designed to hold clothing, accessories, toys and a variety of other products. Bent rail racks can be freestanding or wall-mounted. They are easy to assemble and maintain and come in a variety of heights and styles. Depending on the design, they can also be used to display larger items like shoes or even large equipment. Bent rail racks are great for clothing and accessories, but they don’t work well if you need to store smaller items such as toys or tools.
Should I Include Double Hanger Racks on the Shop Floor?
These racks are designed to hold clothing that has two hangers. They can be freestanding or wall-mounted and are often designed to hold two garments side by side. These racks are great for shops that sell a lot of shirts or other items that come with two garments, such as jackets or pants. Double hanger racks are also useful for storing items like towels or other items that come with two pieces. Racks that double as shelves are great for storing smaller items like clips, accessories or even batteries and other supplies. Double hanger racks are often used as part of a modular system that can be customised to suit your needs.
What are Single Hanger Racks Used For?
These racks are designed to hold clothing that has a single hanger. They can be freestanding or wall mounted and are often used in conjunction with double hanger racks. They are perfect for one piece garments such as shirts and coats and they are super easy for customers to navigate. Single hanger racks can often be found at the end of a series of double hanger racks to hold smaller items like belts, scarves and accessories to the suggested outfits. A fantastic tactic to upsell is to consider these for your shop floor.
Are Wall Mounted Racks Sturdy?
Wall-mounted racks are designed to hold clothing or other products that aren’t hung on hangers. These storage units are great for displaying gloves, hats, bags, shoes, smaller appliances and other products that don’t need to be hung on a rack. Wall-mounted racks come in a variety of materials including plastic, wire and metal. They can be designed to store smaller or larger items, so the only limitation when designing with us, is your imagination! Due to our carefully sourced materials and quality craftsmanship going into each custom wall mounted rack or clothing rail, they are an extremely sturdy option, as long as the wall you’re mounting them to are suitable.
Are Industrial Clothing Racks a Good Investment?
Absolutely! They are a fantastic addition to every shop floor with long lasting features to ensure that your garments can be displayed as they deserve. You should have a plan for your store when deciding which racks will be the most useful. Choose your racks based on what you sell, where you sell it and how you want your products to be displayed. Industrial clothing racks come in a wide variety of materials, styles and configurations. You can find racks that are designed to hold everything from clothing to tools, appliances and even sporting goods. Whatever racks you choose, make sure they’re well-made and will last for years of heavy use.
