​Avoid Accidents Hanging Signs with the Retract 36

The Sky is the Limit - How Retract 36 Streamlines Signage and Limits Liability

Using ceiling space to raise promotional information above the fray is a great way to pursue a clean store. The Global Display has developed a ladder-free solution to address the liability issues. Our Retract 36 is a patented product that was created by a store-manager for store-managers.  Allowing marketers to easily display large 36" wide banners strategy and keep your brand visual. Unfortunately, many stores, particularly those with open ceilings, avoid the opportunity.  And it is understandable, because the perception is that ladders are required to hang banners in an open ceiling environment.  And, ladders mean liability.  For example, in 2011, there were 113 work-related ladder fall fatalities. In that same year, there were over 34,000 nonfatal injuries, 15,460 of which resulted in at least one day of work missed.

“It’s different from other systems because it puts the science and technology in the display itself and not the pole, making it easy for a single associate to stay put on the ground and still hang large banners,” says Earle Bevins, general manager for The Global Display Solution. “The system works like a household blind. Simply use a pole to bring the banner display down to a position where the banner can be changed," Bevins explains. "Then, guide the banner back to a fixed hanging position 10 - 18 feet from the floor. The whole process takes about 2 minutes.”
