12 Inch Saddle Faceout for Rectangular Hangrail
This saddle faceout mounts over a rectangular tubing hangrail rather than clipping to a gridwall panel. It is 12 inches long and displays garments face-out directly from an existing hangrail bar. Available in chrome, black, and satin finishes, it converts any rectangular tubing hangrail into a face-out display position without adding a separate panel or bracket to the fixture.

Saddle Faceout — How the Saddle Mount Works
Most faceouts clip to a gridwall panel or insert into a slatwall groove. This saddle faceout works differently. The saddle bracket at the base of the arm drops over the top of a rectangular tubing hangrail bar. The arm's own weight and the downward load of the hanging garment hold the saddle in position on the rail. No tools, no screws, no clips are required. Staff slide the saddle faceout onto any open position along the hangrail and it is ready to use immediately.
The saddle mechanism also makes repositioning fast. Staff slide the faceout along the rail to a new position during restocking or floor layout changes. No unmounting, no hardware removal. The saddle simply lifts off the rail at one position and drops onto another. Consequently, retailers who change their face-out display positions frequently — for new arrivals, seasonal resets, or promotional features — find the saddle faceout significantly faster to reposition than clip-mount or bracket-mount alternatives.
Face-Out Display on Existing Hangrail Systems
The saddle faceout converts a standard shoulder-out hangrail position into a face-out display position. The retail case for face-out display is straightforward. A shoulder-out garment shows only the sleeve and side profile to a customer browsing the rail. A face-out garment shows the full front — neckline, print, cut, and color — without the customer needing to pull the hanger from the rail. Face-out presentation increases product visibility and reduces handling. Both outcomes improve the purchase conversion rate for featured items on the hangrail.
Retailers typically mix shoulder-out and face-out positions on the same hangrail. The majority of the rail runs shoulder-out for capacity. A saddle faceout inserts at selected positions — new arrivals, hero styles, or high-margin pieces — to create face-out visibility at those specific points. The saddle mount makes adding or removing those face-out positions during any restock cycle fast and tool-free.
Three Finishes — Chrome, Black, and Satin
Chrome saddle faceouts match standard chrome rectangular tubing racks and hangrail systems. They suit general retail environments where chrome fixtures are the baseline. Black saddle faceouts suit contemporary and menswear retail environments where dark fixture finishes match the rack and wall system aesthetic. Satin finish delivers a brushed metal appearance — less reflective than chrome, warmer than black — suited to premium boutique and lifestyle retail environments where the fixture's surface finish contributes to the store's visual identity.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a saddle faceout and how does it mount to a hangrail?
A saddle faceout has a U-shaped saddle bracket at its base that drops over the top of a rectangular tubing hangrail. The arm extends horizontally from the saddle and holds one hanger with the garment facing forward. No tools or hardware are needed for installation. The saddle's own weight and the downward load of the garment hold it in position on the rail. Staff slide it onto any open position along the hangrail and remove it just as easily.
What hangrail profile does this saddle faceout fit?
This saddle faceout fits rectangular tubing hangrails specifically. Rectangular tubing has a flat top surface that the saddle bracket seats on correctly. It does not fit round tubing hangrails — the round profile prevents the saddle from seating flat. Confirm that your existing hangrail system uses rectangular tubing before ordering. Rectangular tubing is the most common profile on straight racks, 2-way racks, 3-way racks, and wall-mounted outrigger systems in standard retail environments.
Can I mix saddle faceouts and shoulder-out hangers on the same rail?
Yes. Saddle faceouts slide onto the hangrail at any position alongside standard hangers. Staff place the saddle faceout at the chosen face-out position and fill the remaining positions with shoulder-out hangers. Repositioning the faceout during a restock or floor reset takes seconds — lift the saddle off the rail and drop it at the new position. Most retailers use one or two saddle faceouts per rail section for featured pieces and fill the rest of the rail shoulder-out for capacity.
