MAP RAIL AND HEAVY DUTY SAFETY HOOKSThe interlocking design of the rail and safety hooks makes hook separation from the rail a thing of the past. The hooks are made of steel and are curved to accept both Rand McNally wall maps and globes and to help prevent those items from “jumping off” the rail.

SAFETY RACKSRand McNally uses unique single-roller and multi-roller safety racks with special flanges that are designed to hold

our spring roller-mounted map sets and ensure that they stay tightly secured in place.
