5ft Clothes Rails:
The Professional Capacity Standard
A 5ft clothes rail is 152cm wide — matching the footprint of a standard double wardrobe — and independently SATRA-tested to hold 160kg of spread weight. Wider than a 4ft but easier to transport than a 6ft, it is the most popular size for open-wardrobe bedrooms, retail stockrooms, and market traders needing a heavy-duty portable rail that fits in most estate cars when dismantled.
The 5ft clothes rail is the professional capacity standard — substantial enough to replace a double wardrobe, compact enough to pass through doorways and fit in most estate cars when dismantled. Our 5ft black heavy-duty clothes rail is independently SATRA-tested to hold 160kg of spread weight, built from 32mm industrial steel, and finished with a hardwearing epoxy powder coating.
Available in the 5ft black rail and 5ft white rail. For double capacity, our 2-tier 5ft extendable black rail and 2-tier 5ft extendable white rail double hanging capacity within the same footprint. Protect seasonal garments with our 5ft clear PEVA clothes rail cover.

Why Choose a 5ft Clothes Rail
160kg SATRA-Tested Load
Built from heavy-gauge 32mm industrial steel with a hardwearing epoxy powder coating. Will not buckle under winter coats, leather jackets, or full retail merchandising stock — independently SATRA-verified to 160kg.
Transport and Event Ready
Unlike 6ft bars (183cm), a disassembled 5ft rail's 152cm bars fit into most estate cars and SUVs with the rear seats down — the preferred choice for market traders, fashion events, and anyone needing heavy-duty portable storage.
Upgrades to Two-Tier
Our 2-tier 5ft extendable kits convert a single rail into a double-capacity system instantly. Ideal when seasonal collections grow or when stockroom density needs to increase without adding floor space.
Double Wardrobe Width
At 152cm wide, the 5ft rail matches the footprint of a standard double wardrobe — providing an open-plan alternative that keeps clothing aired and accessible without the bulk of enclosed furniture.
Mobile with Heavy-Duty Castors
Fitted with smooth-rolling castors, 5ft rails can be repositioned effortlessly even when fully loaded — ideal for retail floor reconfiguration, event setup and takedown, and cleaning around fixed display areas.
Black and White Finishes
Choose black for an open-wardrobe industrial aesthetic or boutique retail display, or white for a clean minimalist bedroom look. Both use identical 32mm steel construction and SATRA-tested load ratings.
Which 5ft Rail Is Right For You?
Open Wardrobe, Stockroom or Market?
For open-wardrobe bedroom use, the 5ft matches a standard double wardrobe width and looks cleaner than 6ft rails in domestic spaces. For retail stockrooms, the 2-tier 5ft extendable doubles capacity. For markets and events, 152cm bars fit most estate cars dismantled — better than 6ft. All models available in black and white with matching rail covers.
For Open Wardrobe Bedrooms
Our 5ft black rail and 5ft white rail are the most popular open-wardrobe sizes — matching a standard double wardrobe footprint at 152cm. Protect seasonal garments with our 5ft clear PEVA rail cover between seasons.
For Retail Stockrooms and High Volume
Our 2-tier 5ft extendable black rail and 2-tier 5ft extendable white rail double the hanging capacity within a 152cm footprint. The most efficient stock density option in the 5ft range for busy retail stockrooms and fashion studios.
For Markets, Events and Portability
The 5ft is the sweet spot between capacity and car-friendliness. The 152cm dismantled bars fit in most estate cars and SUVs with seats down — much more practical than 6ft bars for regular market traders, pop-up fashion sellers, and exhibitors who transport their own rails.
