Standard garment racks

Retailers and commercial laundries need heavy-duty garment racks that will withstand daily wear and tear. Standard clothing racks are typically available in chrome or black finishes and are the most economical of all garment racks.

I recommend: For a wide variety of standard clothing racks, check out Store Supply Warehouse, or LowPriceFixtures.com. Gershel Bros. New & Used Store Fixtures sells used garment racks in addition to new models. HooksandRacks.com requires no minimum order when purchasing garment racks. 

Portable clothing racks

Portable clothing racks get banged up and stuffed with clothes every day, which is why they need to be strong and durable. Look for portable clothing racks with industrial grade casters of 3½ to 4 inches; smaller casters don't roll as easily.

I recommend: Find portable clothing racks with weight load capacities of 250 to 500 pounds at Sean James Enterprises.

Specialty garment racks

If you're looking for unique alternatives for garment racks and clothing displays, you're in luck. Several garment rack vendors offer clothing racks in interesting shapes and styles to help your apparel and your establishment stand out.

I recommend: Gershel Bros. New & Used Store Fixtures stocks a number of specialty garment racks that are adjustable to fit your particular needs.

Wood clothing racks

Considered ideal for upscale establishments, wood garment racks can lend an air of sophistication to your product line and to your retail store.

I recommend: D.K. Conde Wood and Trio Display offer wood clothing racks, wood clothing gridwalls, wood shelf racks and wood slatwall merchandisers along with other standard garment racks.

Lightweight garment racks for office use

If you need clothing racks to store employee coats and garments, consider lightweight models with eight to 12 clothes hangers.

I recommend: For small garment racks, check major office supply stores, such as Office Depot.
