Fixture Frames & Wire Displays for Retail

Table des matières

Aperçu & Cas d'utilisation

Why this solution for retail environments

Able Hardware designs and builds fixture frames and wire displays that stand up to daily retail traffic while presenting a clean, premium look on the sales floor. We combine automatic/robotic MIG for carbon steel with TIG where cosmetic stainless welds matter, then finish with controlled powder coating for batch-to-batch color consistency across international rollouts. Kd (abattre) construction, concealed fasteners, and signage-friendly details speed installation and simplify planogram updates.

Typical applications in retail (luminaires, displays, rolling racks)

Gondola bases/uprights, slotted panels, and shelf frames
Wire shelves, paniers, séparateurs, and peg/slatwall accessories with 25–50 mm grid pitch
A-frames and nesting tables for seasonal/promotional displays
Rolling racks with low-noise casters for apparel and back-of-house movement
Signage holders, price rails, tablet stands, and color-matched accessories

Préparation de surface & sélection: Steel prepared per ISO 8501; coating systems chosen for indoor ISO 12944 C1–C3 environments (sales floor to BOH).

Options de fabrication

Mig automatique / robotique (et tig si spécifié), gabarits & luminaires, répétabilité

Robotic MIG cells standardize arc parameters and bead geometry on carbon steel frames, enabling stable takt times for high-volume programs. TIG is applied to 304 stainless or visible cosmetic joints. Custom jigs and datum pads control variation, alors que CNC-machined mounts enable fast, repeatable assembly in store or DCs.

OPS secondaires: coupure laser, pliant, usinage; revêtement & KD packaging

Découpe au laser produces price-rail windows, machines à sous, and sign pockets; press-brake forming et formage de fil shape brackets and baskets; Usinage CNC tightens critical interfaces. After finishing, fixtures are KD-packed with barcoded labels, illustrated assembly sheets, protective wrap, and corner guards; pallet densities are optimized to reduce freight cost and damage.

Types & Géométrie

Common assemblies for retail (cadres de luminaire, wire shelves/baskets, signage holders, rolling racks) & bandes de dimensionnement

Fixture frames: Tube-and-plate bases with slotted or pegboard back panels; hole patterns aligned to 25 ou 50 millimètre increments for universal accessories.
Wire shelves & paniers: Primary wires Ø4–Ø6 mm with cross wires Ø3–Ø4 mm; edge hems or rod stiffeners to meet 10–80 kg per-shelf targets. Anti-snag wire ends specified for apparel and soft goods.
Signage holders: Laser-cut frames (A5–A1), bolt-on or magnetic brackets; concealed fasteners to maintain brand aesthetics.
Rolling racks: H- or Z-base frames with toe guards, ergonomic handle height, and low-noise casters; optional ESD/grounding features for electronics retail.

Qualité & Essai

Ce que nous vérifions (Vermont, Dft, dimensional/AQL cosmetics; PT / MT / RT en option) et documentation (WPS / PQR, Coc)

Prix & Délai de mise en œuvre

MOQ, pilot runs, Conducteurs de coûts indicatifs (Pas de prix difficiles)

We support pilot runs for NPI and scale to wholesale rollout volumes. Indicative cost drivers include: grade de matériel (Q235/S235 vs Q355/S355 vs 304/6061), tube/wire size, total weld length and cosmetic class (ISO 5817-B vs C), laser features, coating color changes/DFT, caster specification, and KD density (pcs/pallet). Lead time improves with consolidated colors, shared jigs, and repeat releases. Provide drawings and annual volume for a responsive VE (value-engineering) quote.

FAQ

What wire diameters and grid pitches are common?

Ø3–Ø8 mm wire with 25–50 mm grid pitch, tuned to shelf load and product size.

Can you hit ISO 5817-B on visible welds?

Yes—FOH joints are built/finished to Class B; non-visible joints default to Class C for cost control.

What tolerances should we call out?

Use ISO 13920 B / c for welded frames and ISO 2768-m/f for general features; FOH targets include planéité ≤1,0–2,0 mm et Connexion ≤ 1,5 mm / m.

How do you manage RAL color consistency?

Manteau en poudre 70–100 μm DFT with retained master chips and batch records. We supply witness panels for sign-off and align gloss/texture per spec.

Is KD packaging standard?

Oui-flat-pack with labeled fasteners, barcodes, and assembly sheets; pallet counts planned to your DC standards.

What do you need for a quote?

Send STEP/DWG/PDF, target loads (kg), RAL color/gloss/texture, signage/peg/slatwall requirements, and annual volume. We’ll respond with VE options and lead-time ranges.
