Retractable Barriers

Retractable Barriers

What are retractable barriers?

Above all, they’re part of a queue or barrier system that usually includes posts in an upright position, which are joined with webbing.

They can be spotted throughout the world and it’s possible that you have stood in a queue that is managed by one of them.

Choose the original Retractable Queue Barriers – choose Tensabarrier®

Tensabarrier® Retractable Queue Barriers have a patented braking system.

This means that when you release the webbing it drops to the floor and then slowly retracts back into the retractable queue barrier.

Our patented braking system makes the Tensabarrier® the safest retractable queue barrier on the market.

Our retractable queue barriers are made with a topple angle of 35°, increasing the post stability.

If our barriers are pushed rather than falling or toppling they tilt at up to 35° before going back to their original position.

Safety is paramount

We take safety very seriously and that’s why Tensabarrier® retractable queue barriers can be found in most of the world’s airports.

They allow you to enhance space while reducing hazards and risks.

It doesn’t matter if you are looking to manage your queueing space or restrict access to an area we have a Tensabarrier® that’ll suit your needs.  

Retractable Barriers and Retractable Belt Barriers

Our range of safety barriers and queue barrier posts offer safety, security, and an efficient way to easily manage crowds and queues of people.

View our full range of retractable safety barriers.

Crowds and queues are quickly and easily organised with durable retractable belts and stanchions.

This is because they can be joined together using a number of options from the webbing cassettes.

The cassettes house the retractable belts that come in a selection of colours, chevron designs, and sizes as well as custom-printed belts available for larger orders.

What are the different types of Tensabarrier® Retractable Barriers?

Retractable Belt Barrier

The most popular type of retractable barrier as they are easy to set up and there is a limitless number of ways to arrange them.

They can often be seen in airports, retail outlets, and banks around the world.

Tensabarrier® posts are available in a variety of colours, finishes, and bases to suit.

Metal posts are best for durability and safety, but our plastic posts are ideal for portability, high visibility, and for placing outside.

Wall Mounted Retractable Barrier

Wall-mounted units are great for saving floor space and are quick and easy to deploy.

They are ideal for areas requiring periodic access restrictions.

We have many options for different uses including magnetic and non-magnetic belt barriers.

Our Tensabarrier® Wall Mounted Retractable Barriers are available in stylish metal and plastic at a great value.

Post and Rope Barrier

Rope barriers are perfect for V.I.P areas, and high-end and traditional venues.

You can choose from high-quality brass and chrome stanchions with a choice of elegant velour and braided rope.

This classic barrier comes in lengths of 1m and 2m that allow you to control the amount of slack between ropes.

Cone Mounted Tape Barrier

These are ideal temporary measures for construction sites, warehouses, and roadways.

Our Tensabarrier® TC114 Toppers’ simple design transforms ordinary traffic cones into an affordable alternative to a barrier system.

Made from tough plastic with 3.65 metres of tape they fit onto any standard road cone.

What can you use your Tensabarrier® for?

• Crowd and Queue Control: In most cases, Tensabarrier® stanchions are ideal for crowd control as they’re easy to rearrange.
• Area Closure: If you are looking for an upmarket way to cordon off an area we suggest browsing our selection of rope barriers.
  • If there is a fixed point of entry, a wall mount barrier could be the better alternative.
  • If you are in construction you could use the Tensabarrier® cone-mounted tape barrier.
• Walkways: Depending on the desired look the Tensabarrier® post belt barrier or rope barriers would work best.

Tensabarrier® What’s the Difference?

Our braking system is just one feature that sets us apart from other retractable barriers.

When released our webbing drops to the floor and then it retracts 2.5 seconds slower than our nearest competitor.

That makes it the safest option for your business or event.

Our cassettes have an anti-tamper tape end.

This stops the webbing from detaching suddenly from the post upon removal.

Also, our Tensabarrier® is an optimum height, belt length, and high quality, thick, harder-wearing belts than cheaper alternatives.
