About Garment Racks

Garment racks help store clothes in tight spaces; helping organise clothes, keeping them neat and ready for use. Garment racks have a horizontal bar to hang different types of clothes including coats, jackets, shirts, and trousers. This example shows a classic garment rack - 1.6m high with shoe-rack and castor wheels to allow for easy movement. Garment racks can typically store more coats and jackets than coat stands, and garment racks are more stable. Garment racks are used in businesses and clothes shops where there is a high turnover of items on the clothing rack. When looking to buy a garment rail, make sure that the horizontal bar is capable of holding the weight of the clothes, as many garment racks can only support a few kilograms. Remember coats are heavy, for typical garment rails - look for the rail being capable of holding between 200 to 500 lbs or approximately 100 to 250 kgs. Garment rails are also useful for carrying clothes, being used by many dry cleaners and clothes shops - for this reason garment rails usually have wheels or castors.

What to look out for when buying a garment rack

Garment racks usually have wheels to allow shop-keepers to move large amounts of clothes easily around the shop for visual merchandising reasons (to change the layout and presentation of the shop). When you purchase a garment rack ensure the horizontal bar is strong enough for the clothes. Read the instructions or see the label on the rack to see what maximum weight the rail can hold.
