Hooks & Trolleys

Retail Essentials That Keep Things Moving and Looking Good

Creating an inviting and organised store is no small feat. Between juggling stock, creating stunning displays, and making sure customers can move easily through your aisles, it’s a lot to handle. That’s where hooks and trolleys step in—humble yet powerful tools that help your store look sharp and function smoothly.

What Are Hooks & Trolleys?

Hooks and trolleys might not be the flashiest fixtures in your store, but they’re the backbone of any well-planned retail layout.

Hooks help display your products vertically, keeping items visible and within reach. They make it easy for customers to browse and pick up goods without the clutter of overstuffed shelves. Think of them as your silent sales team—neat, effective, and always ready.

Trolleys, on the other hand, are all about movement. Whether it’s supermarket trolleys or compact rolling baskets, these tools support your customers through the buying journey. They also make stock replenishment quicker for your team.

Types of Hooks for Retail Displays

Choosing the right hook depends on your display system and the type of products you sell. Let’s break it down:

Mesh Panel Hooks

Also known as mesh hooks, these are a flexible solution for stores using wire grid or mesh panel backings.

• Ideal for packaged goods, tools, or accessories

• Perfect for hardware stores, pop-up stalls, and mobile setups

• Easily adjustable and great for modular layouts

Pegboard Display Hooks

Commonly called pegboard shop hooks, these are a staple in tool shops and general merchandise outlets.

• Best for displaying hand tools, kitchenware, or gift items

• Easy to reposition when stock changes or seasonal items roll in

• Compatible with standard pegboard panels

Slat Panel Hooks

These slatwall hooks (or slat panel hooks) are made to fit seamlessly into slatwall displays.

• Excellent for electronics, lightweight accessories, or boxed items

• Provide a clean, minimalist look that modern shoppers love

• Keep your walls tidy and your products the focus

Trolleys & Customer-Carry Solutions

Let’s talk about customer comfort. The easier it is to shop, the longer people stay—and the more they’re likely to spend. Whether you’re running a bustling supermarket or a small local boutique, offering the right trolley or basket makes a difference. Here's a quick guide to help you choose the best fit.
