A leading manufacturer of garment and clothing conveyors, handling, and storage systems since 1954.

About us

Railex Corp was formed in 1954 by WWII veterans Sam and Abe Rutkovsky. After the war, the brothers worked as steamfitters in the laundry industry. While working on boilers and steam equipment, they noticed a need for tubular metal racks and conveyors to handle garments on hangers (GOH). Thus, in 1954, they began operating Railex out of their garage. The first Railex products were tubular metal racks and conveyors to ease garment handling. The business quickly expanded to produce all types of racking, conveyors, and trolleys used in the garment industry. For the following 60 years, Sam and Abe developed products for greenhouse businesses and other industrial needs. In early 2017, the brothers, who were now in their late 80s and early 90s, sold Railex to Steve Shybunko and Richard Sobel. Steve and Richard both have strong manufacturing and management backgrounds and are working to improve the products that have made Railex famous.

    At Railex we do not shy away from Challenges. This is our Railex System 635- Pin Down Conveyor installed at a dry cleaning plant. At 4 minutes this is a long video for Linkedin but we think all of it is worth watching if you are in the dry cleaning, industrial laundry, or Garment Distribution industry. We manufacture this conveyor and the similar System 630 Clip conveyor in our NY plant. This conveyor snakes through a dry cleaning plant on 2 levels. The conveyor takes individual garments from the pressing area and steam tunnel area up to the mezzanine where it dispatches them at the order assembly conveyor. This same conveyor then picks up the bagged orders (automatically) and brings the bagged orders down to the shipping area. The layout had to overcome many obstacles as you can see from the video. #automation #conveyors #clothing #drycleaning #drycleaners #garment #retaildistribution #laundry #ecommerce

    A Railex System 200 Slick Rail Project for Garment on Hanger (GOH) storage. This is a new 2 tier installation. The customer is just starting to fill up the racks. So far only part of the 1st tier has product on it. This is a "free standing" system that is braced off the columns and walls of the facility. A project like this typically takes Railex 2-4 days to develop from a conversation and napkin sketch to a CAD drawing with a costed BOM from one of our engineering experts. All of these parts are stock, so the total lead time is about 2 weeks. #distribution #clothing #ecommerce #warehouse #restoration #drycleaning #rack

    Railex at the 2024 Expo East Dry Cleaners and Laundry Show. In our booth we displayed and demonstrated our new System 750 Order Assembly Conveyor. We have had a GREAT response so far...non-stop demonstrations and DC interest all day Saturday. Looking forward to another good day today. We also showcased our new clip conveyor and pin conveyor....great alternatives to our screw conveyors when demands are greater! Thank you to the DLI and all the associated trade groups for doing a great job promoting the industry. #drycleaning #DLI #garment #clothing #automation #Railexconveyor #conveyor

    We want to share the latest addition to the Railex family of Garment on Hanger conveyors. The Railex 635 Pin Down conveyor. This conveyor can transport garments on hangers 100's of feet, it can turn left or right multiple times, it can change elevation multiple times, you can add garments onto it anywhere along its path, it can run at slower speeds of 15 to 20 feet per minute or higher speeds of 60 to 90 feet per minute. It is made with pride by Railex in the USA. This joins the Railex family of 630 Clip Conveyor (AKA Drag Link) and the 640 Pin Up conveyor. These conveyors solve automation and transport issues for any company that moves, cleans, distributes, or processes garments on hangers. #automation #laundry #drycleaners #conveyors #clothing #processing #distribution #garments

    Sometimes customers just need it done quickly.  This Railex System 200 Slick Rail installation is one of those jobs. The lease was up, they had to move. The installer went by, saw the space, sent us a sketch, we turned it into a CAD and a quote. We shipped the job. The installer did the installation. Job complete 9 days from start to finish. We work with our customers to get it done. #garments #warehouse #clothing #slickrail #racking

    Big projects are great, but the small ones are just as important. Recently one of our team members was in a restaurant in Brooklyn and saw our System 1200 static coat check system. Like many small businesses this restaurant needed every bit of space to operate. Our 2 tier static coat check system provides 2X the space of a single rail. Our Railex Hang-up Hangers, with the extended handle, lets them access the higher row. #coatcheck #clothing #restaurant #racking

    The Railex System 630 Clip Conveyor - This is a video of a test unit we set up in one of our warehouses for a customer. The clip conveyor lets you move individual GOH and has the unique ability to let garments accumulate while the conveyor is running! Wow! To repeat.....the conveyor keeps running and GOH can stop and accumulate and then be released! This means the inbound side can remain active while the dispatch end can run start-stop. Imagine multiple work stations flowing into your assembly operations and the team at the end release the flow as needed! These conveyors can be 100's of feet long and they can be designed to wind their way up, over, and around obstructions. This unit is floor supported but these are generally installed ceiling supported. #conveyors #automation #clothing #drycleaning #drycleaners #garments
