Rails for hanging clothes on are an essential everyday work item for both clothes shops and garment storage warehouses. Not all such rails are the same though, with some being made of lighter materials than others.
When you are choosing rails for your warehouse or store, you will have to decide whether to buy hard-wearing or lightweight ones. Here, we will look at why the former will be the best option overall.
Long lasting
Companies are sometimes tempted to buy clothing rails that are made of lighter materials on the grounds that they are usually cheaper than sturdier ones. There is a reason for that though, and it is because these low-cost, lightweight rails are almost certain to become damaged and degraded within a couple of years.
That is especially true if they are being moved around a busy warehouse or shop, where they will inevitably be bumped fairly regularly. By contrast, garment rails made of hard-wearing materials like tubular steel are guaranteed to last for a very long time, which will make them a more economical purchase in the long run.
Safer
Many cheaper, lightweight garment rails are made from wood. Not only are they far less durable than steel ones, but they also pose a genuine health and safety risk.
Imagine your warehouse or store was to experience a fire. In those circumstances, having lots of garment rails made out of wood will help the fire to spread and could put the lives of your employees at risk.
Furthermore, if this happened in a store, it would be members of the public that were placed in danger as well as your staff. This is something that you could then be held financially liable for.
Heavy duty garment rails that have been made out a material such as powder coated tubular steel will present no such risk. Steel is also a very environmentally friendly material, being completely recyclable, so this will allow you to present your business as one that is committed to sustainability.
Choosing heavy duty steel garment rails designed and built on-site will be the best storage solution for both clothes warehouses and shops.
