What are retractable belt barriers used for?
Retractable belt barriers are used to guide pedestrians and prevent entry into prohibited areas. By having a highly noticeable queue system in place you can deter entry or organise customers efficiently.
Pittman® stock a variety of stanchions that can help with crowd control, highlight dangerous areas, and more while enhancing the look of your premises.
Retractable belt posts are portable and are suited to areas that need to be temporarily blocked off or where a temporary queue is needed. Fixed wall mounted barriers are suited to areas that must be blocked off on a regular basis, such as toilets, cash desks, etc.

Simply choose the barrier suited to your needs.
- Wall-mounted - wall-mounted belt barriers are versatile barrier options for indoor spaces. They are suited to areas with walls, pillars or racking where they can connect easily to other units or connecting points. Mounting units to the wall can save ground space and reduce trip hazards. Wall-mounted belts are popular in warehouses, hospitals, and factory floors, where they can instantly deny access to an area. Magnetic ends can be attached directly to pallet racking or warehouse steel frames.
- Free-standing - free-standing belt stanchions are the most popular form of belt posts. The free-standing design allows them to cover large distances easily, which is ideal for creating indoor and outdoor queue systems. The posts can attach to other posts with ease. They can also be designed in stainless steel, brass, and matte to suit professional environments. Belts can also be customised to include specific colours, logos or messages. Belt stanchions are widely used in retail, airports, schools, hotels, museums, and theatres.
Retractable barriers are perfect in areas that need to change access requirements regularly. They will generally require little to no maintenance, however, there are a number of precautions that can be taken to ensure safe and lasting use of the barriers -
- Do not let go of the belt on retracting - while the barriers do include a brake system it is not advised to let the belt go back into the unit by itself. Belts should be guided back into the unit carefully by hand - this will reduce the risk of breaking or knotted belts.
- Place barriers in highly visible areas - while belts are highly visible to human eyes they are not always placed in the best locations. Be sure to use them where they can give plenty of notice to pedestrians
- Check belt posts regularly - all belt posts should be checked frequently. If posts are not in use they should be disassembled and stored away safely
Custom belts are available with the Queue Solutions range. Specific messages or logos can be added to the belts to suit your needs.
