Rolling Apparel Racks and Portable Grids

If you sell apparel, it can be a real pain to set up displays on-site at events. With rolling apparel racks and portable grids, you won’t have to worry. You can take your time arranging displays in-store to your satisfaction, and then simply roll them into your truck or fold them for transport. Once you arrive, all you have to do is roll them to your booth or erect them in place for instant merchandise display.

Grids can easily be used to display smaller items, as well, when you add baskets or other bins. You can place loose merchandise in bins and stack them for transport, then simply hang them on your portable grid wall on-site. You can also find trade showcases and racks that close or fold to keep items secure during transport, feature wheels or handles for easy portability, and open up to display wares already arranged neatly inside.
