Salpomec designs and delivers gravity rail systems for moving garments on hangers (GOH) efficiently through warehouses, distribution centres and other garment handling operations.
Gravity rail systems can be used as a standalone transport solution or integrated with powered conveyors, storage, sorting, finishing and loading systems as part of a larger GOH logistics solution.
A gravity rail system transports garments on hangers along rail sections using gravity.
It provides a simple way to move garments between different areas of a facility and can be designed around the available space, garment flow and required handling process.
Gravity rail systems can also be connected with powered conveyor systems when different transport methods are required within the same garment handling operation.
Gravity rail systems can be used in different parts of a garment handling operation where garments need to move between processes or handling areas.
Typical applications include:
The rail layout is designed according to the required garment flow, facility layout and available space.
Gravity rail systems provide a straightforward way to move garments on hangers between different areas of a facility.
Key benefits include:
By combining gravity rails with other garment handling equipment, different transport methods can be used where they are most suitable within the same operation.
Gravity rail systems can be integrated with powered garment conveyors, storage areas, sorting systems and other garment handling equipment.
This makes it possible to combine different transport methods within the same facility and use each solution where it best supports the garment flow.
Salpomec designs the interfaces between different parts of the system as part of the overall layout, helping garments move smoothly between transport, storage and processing areas.
Salpomec has over 40 years of experience in developing gravity rail systems for garment handling.
We have been involved in the development of trolleyless garment transport and have delivered solutions for both individual applications and large-scale garment logistics projects.
Previously also known under the Magic Tube name, our gravity rail technology continues to be developed around efficient garment flow and real operational needs.
