Suspension fittings for hanging files: stability for your filing system
In physical document organisation, the load-bearing capacity of the suspension system is crucial to the lifespan of a file. Our suspension fittings are designed to securely hold even heavy circulating files in rail systems. As a specialist manufacturer, we produce fitting systems that are precisely tailored to the requirements of modern archiving solutions and enable smooth gliding on the filing rails.
Compatibility with leading systems: Zippel, Wäller and more
Different shelving systems require specific suspension fittings. moog & langenscheidt offers you the right solution for every system, manufactured in-house:
- Zippel system: We stock swing fittings for the widely used Zippel hanging system in robust metal or lightweight plastic versions.
- Wäller / Lotrecht system: Our fittings support efficient vertical document organisation, which is renowned for its intuitive handling and space-saving design.
- Leitz-Elba system: Precisely tailored solutions for hanging file shelving and mobile shelving systems, enabling high storage density in the archive.
What distinguishes a high-quality hanging file system?
In a hanging file system, files are suspended side by side on sturdy metal rails using special fittings. This system is primarily used in cabinets, paternoster systems and mobile shelving units.
- Choice of material: Choose between galvanised metal for maximum load capacity or high-quality plastic for quiet operation and corrosion resistance.
- Ergonomics: The design of our fittings allows for easy hanging and removal of the folders, which reduces the time spent on filing tasks each day.
- Durability: Reinforcing the folder edge with our fittings effectively prevents the cardboard from tearing.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
What should I look out for when choosing the fitting?
The existing shelving system is the decisive factor. Check whether you are using rails for the Zippel, Wäller or Leitz system. The shape of the mounting on the fitting must fit the profile rail in the cabinet exactly to ensure a secure hold.
Are metal fittings better than plastic ones?
Metal fittings offer a higher static load capacity and are ideal for very thick stacks of files. Plastic fittings, on the other hand, offer more flexibility in terms of colour choice, are often more cost-effective and protect the coating of the filing rails.
Can swing fittings be retrofitted to folders?
Yes, our fittings are just as suitable for industrial assembly as they are for manual retrofitting or repairing circulating folders. Depending on the model, they are attached by clamping, gluing or riveting.
