Premium Retractable Belt Queue Barrier - Black Post, Black Belt

A single post for guiding a queue, built a grade up from a standard barrier. The base is a metal shell filled with cement, wrapped in a moulded plastic skin, and it weighs 8.5 kg - enough to stand steady and stay exactly where you put it. The black finish is powder-coated steel, matte black.

There is more material in every part of it. The base holds 8.5 kg against 6 kg on our standard barrier - about 40 per cent more ballast in the same 33 cm footprint - and the tube is rolled from 1 mm steel against 0.7 mm, with the welds and fixings stepped up to match. Better made, steadier on its feet, and it holds up longer in a spot that is in use all day.

The retractable belt runs 2 metres between bollards. For a queue - people lining up and moving through - 2 m is the span you want: it holds the line tight and keeps people where you put them. Our standard queue barrier carries a 3 metre belt, which suits marking off a static display or an area rather than moving a queue through it.

Questions & Answers

Q: What makes this different from the standard barrier?
A: More material throughout. The base holds 8.5 kg of cement in a metal shell against 6 kg on the standard post, and the tube is 1 mm steel against 0.7 mm, with the welds and fixings stepped up to match. Better made, and steadier on its feet.

Q: Which one should I buy?
A: For a queue - people lining up and moving through - this one: the 2 m span holds a tighter line and it is the better made of the two. For marking off a static display or an area, the 3 metre standard post covers more ground per post. If you are not sure, tell us what the space is and we will recommend one.

Q: How far apart do the posts go?
A: Two metres. For a straight run, count the metres you need to cover and divide by two, then add a post for the end.

Q: Will the belt clip onto posts I already have?
A: Most standard stanchions use the same style of receiver, so it usually does - but we cannot guarantee it against every brand. If you are matching existing posts, order the smallest quantity first and check.

Q: Can it go outside?
A: It is made for indoor use. You can take it outside when the weather suits and it will do the job, but it is not designed to live outdoors permanently - bring it back in when you are finished.

Q: Can I put a sign on top?
A: Yes. The sign holders slide straight onto the top of the post - A3 portrait, A3 landscape, A4 portrait, A4 landscape in a matching black finish. They are the usual way to put "Please wait here", opening hours or a price board where the queue can read it.

Q: Can I replace the belt if it wears out or I want another colour?
A: Yes - the cassette unscrews. We stock replacements in black and red. We can also supply a belt printed with your own logo or wording, which is what most venues do once the barriers are part of the fit-out.

Q: Does it need assembling?
A: Yes, but only just - one screw holds the post to the base. About a minute a post. Two posts to a carton.
