SET HOLDER





GMS Systems announces the launch of a wire set holder to handle a batch of hanging garments. A coded cable tie is used to seal the set of garments on hangers (goh), which is broken at store receiving, allowing the set holder to be recycled.

The set holder can be used to replace set hooks or by anybody involved in the distribution or handling of garments.

Operation

A batch of garments on hangers (goh) are placed on a rail. The set holder is then slid over the hanger ends and a cable tie is applied to secure the seal bar onto the batch of hangers. The set holder is 190mm long, holding an average 20 garments.  

The set holder is now ready for use and the set of garments can be transferred onto another rail, trolley or vehicle by lifting the handle. This can be done using one or two hands.

The cable tie (or seal) is cut at the final destination and the set holder can be slipped off the rail and returned for re-use.

The set holders are supplied in a box containing 1000 units.
