2 Way Rack - Slanted Arms
This slanted arm 2 way rack uses two waterfall face outs on a raw steel rectangular tubing base to display garments in a stepped cascade from two directions. Both arms adjust independently by height, and a weighted base keeps the unit stable without floor anchoring. It is the waterfall-specific alternative to the straight arm two-way model.

Slanted Arm Waterfall Rack — How It Differs From a Straight Arm
A straight arm holds all hangers at the same horizontal level. A slanted arm waterfall rack angles each hanger position downward in a stepped cascade. Shoppers can see the neckline and fabric of every piece without lifting hangers off the arm. This increases browse speed and reduces the friction that causes customers to skip past a crowded fixture. The slanted arm configuration works especially well for tops, blouses, and lightweight jackets where front-facing visibility drives purchase decisions.
Two-Way Waterfall Rack — Compact Browse Display
This two-way waterfall rack keeps a narrow footprint while delivering cascade display from two directions. It fits naturally in aisle positions, near fitting rooms, or as a companion piece alongside a larger four-way unit. Both arms face outward from the center post in opposite directions, so shoppers on either side of the fixture can browse the full cascade without crossing to the other side. The weighted base handles asymmetric garment loads without tipping when one arm carries more pieces than the other.
Raw Steel Slanted Rack — Finish to Match Your Store Concept
The unfinished raw steel surface accepts paint, powder coat, or clear lacquer applied after purchase. Retailers who want a specific color apply finish before putting the rack on the floor. Those who prefer a natural industrial look seal the surface with clear coat to prevent oxidation while keeping the mill-finish grey tone visible. Rectangular tubing holds the slanted arm connections firmly under lateral garment load, which is more critical on waterfall arms than straight arms because the angled hang position places more rotational stress on the joint. According to Wikipedia's overview of retail design, face-out and cascade displays are a proven method for increasing product visibility and encouraging shopper interaction on the retail floor.
Independent Arm Adjustment — Set Each Side Separately
Both slanted arms on this two-way rack adjust independently along the center post. You can raise one arm and lower the other to compensate for garments of different lengths on each side. Independent adjustment is especially useful on a waterfall arm rack because the cascade angle already changes the effective hanging height across the arm. Setting the base position of each arm independently gives you precise control over where the lowest hanger on each waterfall lands relative to the floor.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a slanted arm 2 way rack used for in retail?
A slanted arm two-way rack displays garments in a waterfall cascade from two directions on a single freestanding fixture. It works best in aisle positions, near fitting rooms, and alongside larger four-way racks in a mid-floor run. The cascade display lets shoppers flip through multiple pieces quickly without lifting hangers.
How does a slanted arm waterfall rack compare to a straight arm two-way rack?
A straight arm holds hangers at a uniform height. A slanted arm waterfall steps each hanger lower than the one before it, creating a cascade. This makes individual garments easier to see and browse without removing them from the rack. Both versions share the same weighted base and independent arm adjustment.
Can I adjust the waterfall arms on this slanted rack independently?
Yes. Each arm adjusts independently by height. You can set the left arm at a different height than the right arm, which is useful when each side displays garments of different lengths.
