Retractable Belt & Tape Stanchions

Retractable Stanchions

What Are Retractable Barriers?

Also known as retractable belt barriers or tape barriers, these crowd control solutions are used everywhere – from retail stores and airports to theme parks and event venues. Chances are, you’ve stood in a line formed by one.

A retractable belt barrier features a belt that extends from a stanchion and slots onto another post or wall receiver to create a clear queue layout. When no longer needed, simply release the belt, and it slowly retracts back into the cassette automatically.

Why Use Retractable Belt Barriers?

Easy to Use – Simple setup and takedown save staff time. Just extend the belt, attach it, and let it safely retract when released.

Durable & Safe – Unlike cones or tape, retractable barriers last longer and hold up in high-traffic areas. Tensabarrier® features an originally patented braking system that prevents belts from snapping back too quickly – unlike some competitor products.

Improved Customer Flow – Highly visible posts and belts create clear queues, reducing confusion and frustration. Accessories like sign frames help communicate directions and important information.
