No dust exists either since systems have an open wire design that provides airflow. Hanging hospital lab coats and marching band jackets remain wrinkle-free and clean. Stored items are easily accessible and visible as well, helping speed retrieval.

Facilities that need to save floor space should invest in mobile configurations. Units have polyurethane casters with rubber donut bumpers that facilitate safe relocation to simplify the process. It frees up the floor, allowing you to put the existing footprint to more efficient use.

• Aluminum options provide an optimal choice if you want a lighter solution with the strength to resist corrosion and are simple to maintain.
• Alternatives have the power to regulate the access and keep aisles free from obstructions while rolling up and down. You also avoid creating safety hazards and wasting space, which often happens with swinging hinged doors.

Choosing to integrate doors with manual operation does not add to the cost, so you avoid paying extra for quality security. Motorized door options vary in price but provide the best theft protection to ensure you get the most wear from uniforms in storage.

The durable storage cabinets include ample shelf space and a hanging rod large enough to store, organize, and preserve uniforms in one place. If you need more or less space to prevent wrinkle damage, the shelves and hanging brackets are adjustable. Units also include closed side panels strong enough to eliminate dust and minimize light exposure. The contents inside the cabinets remain clean and safe to wear whenever you need them.

Compact Garment Storage Racks

Customers often ask employees to check for out-of-stock items in “the back.” Unfortunately, many retail backrooms are cluttered, disorganized, and difficult to navigate. But with limited amounts of space, retailers don’t have many options when it comes to storage. Sliding mobile garment racks are an easy way to instantly increase storage space with one simple solution.

What takes up the most space in your backroom? You might have already noticed that the aisles between rows of shelving and racks take up a significant amount of space. Additionally, employees don’t need to access all aisles at the same time. For the most part, no one is using a great majority of the shelves at any point.

By mounting wire shelving on floor tracks, the sliding mobile garment racks eliminate the need for this extra space. When not in use, the racks remain compacted together in a small footprint. Employees simply slide the shelves across the floor tracks and open an aisle where it’s needed. This means that there is no extra space wasted, and employees can still access the storage area easily. And if you decide to expand the system at a later date, it’s easy to add additional shelving units. The sliding storage racks are great for retail backrooms, lab coats, costume storage, choir robes, uniforms, and much more.
