End Mill Gondola
Adjustable Gondola Shelves
Adjustable gondola shelves increase the cubic volume of merchandising space. When a gondola shelving can be adjusted in several different ways, it can function as two, even three shelves in one. Easy Rack knows that stores investing on new gondolas shelves are looking for quality, not quantity, in their investment. That is why we offer the most adjustable gondolas displays available to give store owners more freedom to set up displays that will maximize their opportunity to turn a substantial profit in spite of the problematics of the current recession. Also, in addition to being adjustable, gondola shelving by Easy Rack is also very colorful and attractive, and makes any product it showcases look more eye catching to the busy shopper.
Easy Rack gondola shelves can be adjusted in three important aspects. The first aspect is shelving depth. Shelves that are all the same depth create a problem for stockers. Light coming down from the ceiling gets blocked by shelves on top, falling on the bottom of the rack only partially. This obscures product labels, colors, and pricing and often causes shoppers in a hurry to overlook some of the best products a store has to offer. Adjustable gondola displays make it easy to overcome this. Each shelf can be varied in depth anywhere from 12" to 22", allowing top shelves to extend slightly less than bottom ones. Light coming down can now reach all the merchandise, filling out the display and putting everything in a more clear and discernible visibility.
Because each shelf can support up to 350 pounds, adjusting gondola shelves vertically creates more cubic space to showcase larger products at eye level.
Imagine what a pain it is to put the best and most expensive items on the bottom of the rack simply to avoid warping or collapsing shelves at the top that cannot support their weight. Easy Rack gondolas do not have this problem. The sturdy frame and strong shelf design allow for larger products to be displayed prominently near the top-an ideal position for Christmas and after-Christmas sales. This saves money for the store owner as well. Rather than having to buy more actual gondola units, the retailer can simply rearrange the shelves within the individual display to create special areas for certain product types and special items.
A standard horizontal width of 48" makes all adjustable gondola shelves ideal as standalone displays and basic units to use in making larger displays.
Aisle shelving of any length can be created by locking double-sided gondola racks side by side. The advantage to using more compact display units in creating store aisles is the freedom and convenience they offer when it comes time to rearrange the layout for the post-Christmas sales season. Also, single-sided adjustable gondolas can fit perfectly at the end of these aisles and save the retailer the cost of having to purchase special end caps for impulse-buy merchandising layouts.
Wall gondolas are perfect as well for small store owners who need to fill a gap in the wall, or who wish to "catty corner" a display in an unused corner. Adjustable gondola shelving is now available in almost every size and color. For the store owner looking to create the impression of larger floor space and a brighter, seasonal look within, Easy Rack has colors ranging from almond and white to gray and beige, and a variety of vertical shelving heights starting at 48" and going all the way up to 84".

Hello From Banff: Taking The Gondola Up To Sulphur Mountain And A Last Walk Through The Village
Our skiing had come to an end and I allocated the last full day in Banff to explore some more local attractions while my husband headed into Calgary to do some shopping. We got going at about 11:30 am and Nigel dropped me off at the foot of the Banff Gondola. This historic attraction has been around since 1959 and the gondola was just recently reconstructed and reopened in 1998 and features a state-of-the-art gondola system engineered by a Swiss gondola construction company.
On the parking lot of the gondola you can see a big bus with oversized wheels called the "Ice Explorer". This is the type of vehicle used to carry tourists onto the famous Columbia Icefields located between Lake Louise and Jasper National Park.
The gondola takes you from 1583 m (5,194 feet) at the base station to 2,281 m (7,486 feet) to the upper terminal on Sulphur Mountain in just 8 minutes. On the way up I enjoyed the wonderful view of the townsite of Banff, looking down at the Banff Springs Hotel.
At the top of Sulphur Mountain is a complex of visitor services that includes a restaurant called the Regal View Garden. No doubt this is a rather appropriate name since the panorama from Sulphur Mountain is truly something to behold. The summit gondola station also features a roof-top observation deck that is equipped with a variety of arrows, indicating directions and distances to major world cities.
The one kilometer interpretive boardwalk takes you over to Sanson's Peak which is the location of the 1903 Stone Observatory. Norman Sanson observed the weather from Sanson's Peak for every week for 30 years and recorded his observations. Near the observatory is the foundation of a designated National Historic Site: the Sulphur Mountain Cosmic Ray Station that measured cosmic radiation during the 1950s and 1960s. Along this boardwalk there are a variety of informative panels informing you about local fauna and flora in this unique habitat.
The gondola brochure points out that you may actually encounter local wildlife such as Rocky Mountain Bighorn Sheep, Golden Mantled Squirrels, Bald Eagles and Golden Eagles. Although I didn't run into any major wildlife, I enjoyed the majestic view from the mountain and the peacefulness that surrounds it.
I had a little snack in the cafeteria and sat right next to the picture window and looked down onto the townsite of Banff. It wasn't a perfectly clear day and Cascade Mountain's top was covered in mist and cloud, but the view from Sulphur Mountain is one of the most astounding panoramas anywhere.
After my wonderful mountain break, I took the gondola down - although I was debating whether I should take a snowy forest pathway all the way down the mountain which I kept seeing from the gondola. From the base station I walked over to the Banff Upper Hot Springs. The Canadian Rockies limestone mountains have all sorts of fissures and hot springs feed geothermally heated water right up through one of the cracks to the Banff Upper Hot Springs.
The springs were discovered in 1894 and contain steaming water loaded with minerals. Even in the winter people sit in the open-air pool and enjoy the medicinal waters of the Upper Hot Springs. The fully restored bathhouse dates back to the 1930s and also provides day spa facilities offering massage therapy, a steam room, aromatherapy and other facilities. A restaurant and snack bar are also located in the Bathhouse.
For a minute I was tempted to try the Hot Springs myself, but I didn't have a bathing suit with me. Although the retail shop in the Bathhouse sells bathing suits I decided that rather than relaxing in the hot water I'd get a bit more exercise and I started my walk towards town.
Instead of taking the main road back to town I took a forest path that connects the Banff Upper Hot Springs with the Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel. It was a beautiful peaceful walk through the trees and it would have been perfect if I hadn't been wearing the world's most slippery boots. I had to watch every step on the sloping forest terrain to make sure I didn't wipe out, and I finally arrived at the bottom of the hill, relieved to be back on a paved parking lot right next to the Banff Springs Hotel.
I strolled by this famous Banff landmark into town and crossed the road to explore the grounds of Canada Place, the home of the Banff Park administration since 1936. During the summer Canada Place offers free admission to an exhibit that celebrates Canada's land, culture and achievements.
During the winter the facility is closed, but the view from the surrounding Cascade Gardens towards Cascade Mountain is stunning on a clear day. I wasn't so lucky, for our entire week in Banff we never got to see famous Cascade Mountain completely clear and free of clouds. But never mind, the glimpses that we did catch gave us a feeling for this amazingly photogenic natural feature that is always pictured on Banff postcards.
From Canada Place I crossed the bridge over the Bow River and I visited another important landmark: the Banff Park Museum. It is one of Canada's oldest and grandest natural history museum, housed in a historic "railway pagoda", built in 1903, the largest and most elaborate example of early park design, using decorative cross-log construction.
Specimens inside the museum include mountain goats, deer, cougars, bisons, bears, a large variety of birds and mammals and some of these specimens date back to the 1860s. Norman Sanson, the weatherman on Sanson's Peak, was the curator of this museum for over 30 years, and personally collected thousands of specimens for this museum.
The museum also holds a library where you can browse through a variety of books and magazines. After I had informed myself about Western Canada's wildlife I strolled down Banff's main street, aptly named Banff Avenue, I strengthened myself with a quick late lunch in the food court at the Cascade Plaza Shops, one of Banff's main shopping plazas. After lunch I headed back out on the street and a very chilly mountain wind had started blowing. This was my last walk through Banff on this vacation and I was mentally saying goodbye to this picturesque mountain town.
