How Retractable and Rope Stanchions Can Help With Museum Safety

Designed to make museums safer and more accessible, queuing stanchions by Tensator® help you to make the most of your space.

Taking steps to prevent accidents means you’re able to deliver positive customer experiences and reduce workplace hazards. Our retractable stanchions can reduce the risk of harm, ensure the orderly exit of customers and be easily partnered with in-queue signage that could display safety messaging – like social distancing guidelines.

These solutions create a feeling of elegance and exclusivity, and are ideal if you’re cordoning off a VIP area, say for the opening viewing of a new display or exhibition. Choose from varied colors of velour rope, and high-quality steel stanchions, with lengths including 4′, 5′ and 6′.

Retractable Queue Stanchion Systems

Our cost-effective retractable stanchions mean you can show visitors where to queue, and cordon off any areas you’re not using. So you control overcrowding and keep customers where you want them to be – making these products ideal for a museum setting.

Our queue stanchions an incredibly safe way of managing crowd flow. And our unique, patented Tensabarrier® is different to other retractable museum stanchions, thanks to its unique braking system which allows the webbing to retract (or draw back into the stanchions) very slowly. On release, the webbing falls to the floor before retracting safely back into the stanchion, making it the safest belt stanchion around. Our stanchion range can be fully customized to suit your particular needs. Our retractable stanchions for museums are available in varied colors and range from 7’6″ to 13′ in length.

Why buy Tensabarrier® for your museum?

• Accessible for all
  Tensabarrier® universal base has the lowest leading edge on the market, meaning that wheelchairs and pushchairs can roll over with ease. They are also designed to reduce trip hazards for anyone without wheels, including people who use a white cane or mobility aid.
• Custom printed webbing
  We offer a custom printing webbing service available on all of our Tensabarrier® webbing. This means you can add a custom graphic, branding, or message to your retractable stanchion. This could help you to reinforce safety messaging and help to make your queue more on-brand.
• Highest quality belt
  The Tensabarrier belts are significantly thicker than other retractable stanchions, since they are manufactured from 0.89mm military grade fabric. This means they are less likely to deteriorate over time.
• Perfect height
  The Tensabarrier® has been developed to make sure it is at the optimum 970mm in height and is intentionally shorter than similar products to stop people climbing over or going under it. With a lower center of gravity, it is also more difficult to knock over and less likely to catch on bags and clothes.
