Retail Or Commercial Clothing Storage Solution

Why store clothes overhead?

From expansive department stores to intimate boutiques, you can custom-design pipe and fitting clothing racks to suit the specific needs of your backroom storage.

A clothing storage solution for a business can be expensive. Here are seven benefits of overhead storage:

  • Storing clothing consumes retail floor space fast. The empty air space you are paying for can suddenly become valuable storage area.
  • Clothes are safe and secure, free from wrinkles, dirt, damage and theft.
  • Ladder climbing invites trouble with dropped clothing and injuries.
  • Items are easy to see and count which makes inventory a breeze.
  • Aisles stay open and clear.
  • Double your storage overnight without a remodel or even moving your shelving.

How does overhead storage work?

  • With a push of a button, your clothes come to you. Loading and unloading is easy because hangers are at eye level.
  • Push the button and they are up and out of the way.
  • You can have lifts that mount to your wall or lifts that mount to your ceiling.

What is an overhead lift?

  • The overhead lift bolts into your ceiling. Because of this, the hang bar lowers right down to eye level.
  • The lift is a modular design and comes in eight foot sections, which makes it easy to get the optimal machine for your area.
  • A lift can be 40 feet long if five sections are bolted together.
  • Each section supports a eight feet long hang bar.
    • First option, a single hang bar that comes down, which is excellent for narrow aisles.
    • Second option, an ‘over-under’ setup which is two hang bars, one below the other. this doubles your storage with a single machine.
    • Third option, the ‘T bar’ setup where a spreader bar holds hang bars side by side.
    • Another option is  a combo of the ‘T bar’ along with the ‘over-under’ setup. This will hold a LOT of clothes in a minimum amount of space.
