A clothes hauler is a motorized system used to organize and transport clothing along a mounted rail. It can be used in both industrial and home settings, but the cost of a home conveyor belt can be high. The system can be mounted to the ceiling or have heavy-duty bases for support.
Anyone who has stopped by a dry cleaner is likely familiar with a clothes hauler, which is a system used to organize and transport clothing along a mounted rail. This motorized system will feature a ceiling-mounted rail that will allow hanging garments to be hooked onto hangers via specially designed trolleys with hooks. The carts will move along the track, which may be circular or looped in some other way. Garments can be moved along the conveyor belt until the user finds the garment he is looking for.
Larger clothes hauling units are almost always motorized, but smaller models intended for use in home closets may be motorized or non-powered. The rail is similarly mounted regardless of its location, but home closet garment transport systems tend to be much smaller and simpler in terms of layout. In the home, a clothes hauler can help maximize usable storage space by keeping clothing clean, organized, and accessible. However, the cost of a home conveyor belt can be quite high, so it’s not always the most cost-effective way to stay organized.
In industrial or dry cleaning settings, the garment conveyor may go from the back of the facility to the front; this allows workers in the rear of the facility to assemble or disassemble garments as needed, and allows a customer service representative at the front of the facility to find and pick garments for collection or delivery. Garments can be labeled and organized in a specific location on the conveyor belt to make identification much quicker and easier for customer service representatives.
Sometimes the clothes hauler won’t be mounted to the ceiling at all, but instead will have heavy-duty bases that support the hauler system. These bases usually take the form of metal legs spaced along the length of the conveyor and provide a stable surface when loaded or unloaded. Sometimes the legs will need to be bolted to the floor for added stability and safety; this is usually the case with larger systems that will hold a significant amount of weight. Smaller, closet-sized systems probably won’t need to be bolted to the floor. The number and location of these legs will generally depend on the design of the carrying system; straight conveyors will require fewer legs, while conveyors that have larger curves or sweeps will require more legs.
