What’s the difference between the AeroRail® styles – classic, footprint and dog-bone editions?

Essentially there’s no difference other than the aesthetics of the styles, and all of our designs are made to offer the same functionality and practicality. Each metre long section of AeroRail® has 48 usable hanging slots. Larger hooks and hangers will work just as well on the footprint and dog-bone editions as on the classic model. Also, for standard hangers you can fit more than one into each hanging slot if you wish to further increase your hanging options.

AeroRail® works really well for just about anything that goes on a hook or hanger. It’s suitable for loads up to 50kg where your AeroRail® is fitted into structural timber and the load is evenly distributed across the entire length of AeroRail®.

What about the quality of AeroRail®?

AeroRail® is made in Great Britain from high-quality, rust-proof and corrosion resistant stainless steel. Because we have full oversight over our supply and manufacturing chain, we’re able to guarantee the quality of AeroRail® and offer a 5-year, no quibble warranty across our entire AeroRail® range.

Every section of AeroRail® that we send out goes through the same meticulous checking, testing and finishing process. This includes thoroughly deburring the tube that AeroRail® is manufactured from before it’s carefully checked and then hand-polished – inside and out – by us.
