Flexible Production Racking
When racks are easier to configure, production gets easier to control.
Conventional hanging often creates tradeoffs between spacing, speed, stability, and part presentation. Cross N Click gives teams a more flexible way to standardize rack setups around the actual part mix.
Standardize Setup
Create repeatable rack arrangements that reduce inconsistent hanging choices between operators, shifts, and recurring jobs.
Improve Part Presentation
Support cleaner, more controlled part orientation through coating, movement, and cure.
Adapt as Jobs Change
Use a modular approach when product mix, part geometry, spacing, or hanging requirements change over time.
Build Around the Part
Plan the part, spacing, hooks, and repeatable rack setup together.
Cross N Click is most useful when the crossbar is treated as part of the complete production fixture rather than as an isolated component.
A Repeatable Racking Process
Build the rack around the part and the finishing line.
Start with the part geometry and process requirements, then use the crossbar, hooks, spacing, and rack structure to support a repeatable production setup.
- 1 Map the part: identify the hanging point, part envelope, coating exposure, and rack clearance.
- 2 Set spacing: choose crossbar and part spacing that supports density without sacrificing finish quality.
- 3 Load hooks: match hook type, angle, wire diameter, and contact point to the part and process.
- 4 Repeat the setup: standardize the arrangement so recurring jobs are faster and more consistent to prepare.
Build Beyond the Crossbar
Complete the racking system.
Cross N Click works best as part of a broader racking strategy. Connect the crossbar with the hook, rack, engineering, and lifecycle support your finishing line requires.

Use VMI to replenish the hooks your rack setups depend on.
Cross N Click may provide the rack structure, but the hooks are the consumable connection point your team uses every day. EPSI Vendor Managed Inventory can help keep frequently used hook styles and sizes available near production, reducing emergency orders and time spent manually checking stock.
VMI programs can also include frequently used masking supplies where appropriate, giving your team one coordinated replenishment approach for key finishing consumables.
- Scheduled hook inventory monitoring
- Replenishment based on usage and stock levels
- Support for frequently used masking supplies
- Fewer stockouts and urgent purchase requests
Cross N Click FAQs
Common questions about Cross N Click.
Learn how Cross N Click works, where it fits best, what to consider when configuring a setup, and how it can support more flexible, repeatable part hanging in industrial finishing operations.
What is the EPSI Cross N Click system?
Cross N Click is a modular racking and hanging system designed to give finishing operations a more flexible way to position twin hooks and parts. The system is designed for quick assembly and can be disassembled when needed for easier storage. Instead of relying entirely on fixed welded locations, operators can configure hanging points along the crossbar based on the parts being processed. This makes it easier to adapt rack layouts for different jobs while maintaining a standardized overall racking approach.
What types of finishing operations are a good fit for Cross N Click?
Cross N Click can be especially useful in powder coating, painting, e-coating, plating, and other finishing environments where part sizes, shapes, or production requirements change regularly. It is well suited to job shops, mixed-product lines, and facilities that need more flexibility than a dedicated fixed rack provides. The system can also be useful when production teams want to standardize their racking platform while still adjusting hook placement between jobs.
How does Cross N Click help improve rack density?
Cross N Click gives operators more control over where hooks are positioned across the rack, which can help reduce unused space between parts. By matching hook spacing more closely to the actual part geometry, teams may be able to fit more parts onto a rack while still maintaining the clearance required for coating coverage and safe handling. The goal is not simply to pack parts closer together, but to use available rack space more intentionally.
Can the Cross N Click layout be changed for different parts?
Yes. One of the main advantages of Cross N Click is that the hanging arrangement can be reconfigured as production needs change. Hooks can be positioned differently depending on part size, shape, weight, contact point, and desired spacing. This makes the system useful for facilities that run multiple part families or frequently change jobs and do not want to rely on a completely separate dedicated rack for every product.
What should I consider when setting up Cross N Click for a new part?
Start by evaluating the part weight, overall dimensions, hanging point, required orientation, coating exposure, and the amount of clearance needed between neighboring parts. You should also consider line speed, operator loading method, cure temperature, grounding requirements, and whether the part will be run repeatedly. The most effective setup balances part density with stable hanging, proper coating access, reliable electrical contact where required, and easy loading and unloading for operators.
What hooks are used with Cross N Click?
Cross N Click is designed for use with twin hooks, which provide two hanging points from a single connection to the rack. Twin hooks are available in different configurations to accommodate a variety of part sizes, shapes, weights, and hanging requirements. Selecting the right twin hook involves considering the part geometry, contact point, desired orientation, spacing, coating clearance, and overall load. EPSI can help determine the appropriate twin hook configuration for your application.
How is Cross N Click different from a fixed welded rack?
A fixed welded rack is generally built around a specific part or production setup, with hanging locations permanently established. Cross N Click provides more flexibility because the hanging arrangement can be adjusted rather than being permanently welded in place. Fixed racks can still be an excellent choice for high-volume, highly repetitive production, while Cross N Click can be a better fit when the product mix changes frequently or when the same rack platform needs to support several different jobs.
What is modular racking, and how does Cross N Click fit into it?
Modular racking uses interchangeable and reconfigurable components to create finishing racks that can adapt to different parts and production requirements. Instead of building a completely new welded rack for every application, manufacturers can change components or hanging configurations as their needs evolve. Cross N Click is one of EPSI's modular racking systems, designed to provide a flexible, repeatable way to position twin hooks and parts. EPSI also offers additional modular racking solutions for applications requiring different frame, crossbar, or hanging configurations.
When should I consider Custom Racking instead of Cross N Click?
Custom Racking may be the better choice when a part has unusual geometry, very high weight, demanding contact requirements, extremely tight clearances, or a production volume that justifies a dedicated fixture. Cross N Click is generally strongest when flexibility and reconfiguration are priorities. In some operations, the best solution is a combination of approaches, using modular or Cross N Click systems for variable work and dedicated custom racks for high-volume repeat jobs.
Can EPSI help determine the right Cross N Click setup for my application?
Yes. EPSI can help review your part geometry, weight, hanging points, coating process, available rack space, line conditions, and throughput goals to determine how Cross N Click could be configured for the application. That may include recommendations for hook style, hook spacing, part orientation, rack layout, or alternative racking approaches. Providing part drawings, photos, process details, and current rack information can help make the evaluation more useful.
Need a better rack layout for part density, prep, or throughput?
Use Cross N Click as a starting point for a cleaner modular racking system — or ask EPSI to help evaluate the part, hook, spacing, and fixture strategy.
