Outriggers are the most durable and dynamic wall-mounted fixtures on the market. They require a minimum amount of mounting surface area but return the maximum amount of storage and display space. Though they may come at a higher price point, the investment is worth it. Here’s why.
Outriggers are different than most other wall-mounted fixtures because they protrude significantly from the wall they’re mounted to. Essentially, they are posts that mount to the wall, extend horizontally a few feet and then descend to the floor in the vertical plane. The distance they extend from the wall provides your merchandising space.
Outrigger systems are typically made of steel or chrome tubing, which is much sturdier than most of the other wall-mounted fixtures available. Additionally, outrigger systems transfer the weight of the display to the floor, not the walls. This allows for more and heavier merchandise to be displayed than would be on a gridwall or slat grid system.
Outriggers are most often accessorized with two basic pieces of hardware: hang-rails, used to display clothing, and shelves, used to display associated accessories or folded clothing items. The outrigger system’s structural tubing has evenly spaced slots throughout for affixing display accessories at adjustable heights.
Outriggers are most often seen as a fixture of choice in high end or boutique retail clothing stores. They’re truly made for displaying hanging clothing items, and they’re built to last. If you’re interested in investing the money up-front in fixtures, outriggers are a great choice.
