  • The Retracta-Belt stanchion has a higher grade belt material, so it doesn't stretch out.


  • The Retracta-Belt stanchion only requires one person to assemble them or some models come fully assembled, unlike the QueBand which requires 2 people to assemble.


  • The Retracta-Belt stanchion accepts a variety of sign holders, frames and sign brackets, unlike the QueBand which has no sign support.


  • The Retracta-Belt stanchion is compatible with Tensabarrier posts, unlike the QueBand which cannot connect to any other post.


  • The Retracta-Belt stanchion has a 7'6" belt vs. the shorter 6' belt offered on the QueBand.

    Plastic chain has many uses including line management for public queuing, barrier systems, warehouse and shop floors, trade show exhibits, stage props, car displays at car shows, golf courses, airports, fencing, arenas and many more.  They are versatile and come in many styles and colors. Chains can be strung through the posts or hung on c-hooks. Sign adapters can be added to top a post off with an instructional sign.


    The nice thing about the plastic stanchions is that they will not rust or rot.

These posts are exceptionally good at providing customer guidance and crowd management wherever easy-to-change layouts and easy storage are required.

    Keep in mind that different posts can handle different lengths of rope. The lighter the post, the shorter the rope must be. A heavier post can handle a longer rope. Ropes can come in velour or naugahyde.

    1. Your first step should be to select a post installation option: portable, removable or fixed stanchion. Portable posts allow for the greatest flexibility and are by far the most popular. Fixed posts are permanently mounted to the floor and are used where a traffic pattern is determined to by unchanging. A flexible alternative to fixed posts are removable posts, which can fit into floor sockets and may be temporarily removed.
    2. Sketch a layout. Check the stantion spacing specifications for the products you select. Most retractable belt stanchions stretch either up to 7' or 15' in length. Allow at least three feet width for aisles. Don't forget to include all appropriate signage, like "Enter Here" or "Wait Here for Next Available Teller". Be sure to review the ADA guidelines when designing your layout.
    3. Pick your style and colors. We offer a wide selection of post colors, base styles and retractable belt colors. You may also wish to consider branding options that advertise your logo or communicate your message to a captive audience.
