Clothes Rail FAQs & Buying Guide

A heavy-duty steel rail with at least 160kg capacity is best for heavy coats. Unlike cheap imports that bend, Displaysense rails are independently weight-tested and built to last in homes and stockrooms alike.

Single rails are flexible and portable. Double-tier rails maximise vertical space. Extendable rails suit long garments. For commercial use, always choose industrial-grade steel with locking castors.
