PREMIUM FEATURES

Outer beauty. Inner strength.

For a sleek, sophisticated queue, choose our Thin Line post. But don’t let the thin look fool you — this is still one, tough stanchion.

Make these posts unique to you with belt printing and mountable post accessories.

If you need to upgrade an existing line, Thin Line RETRACTA-BELT® stanchions are visually compatible with Tensabarrier 890 posts.

It's what's on the inside that counts.

With more than 20 years of use and abuse in airports, we have perfected every detail of the RETRACTA-BELT® and engineered the highest quality product on the market.

The toughest stanchions on the market.

Bored-kid tested.

We’re control freaks.

Not all stainless steel is created equal.

Built to last.

Born in airports over 25 years ago, RETRACTA-BELT® stanchions have been tested to withstand the use and abuse of millions of people large and small.

By building our products in-house from raw materials to finished jobs, we ensure 100% quality in every step.

We use marine-grade 304 stainless steel for our outdoor posts, which is virtually rust-proof. Competitors use 201 grade, which will rust within months of exposure to the elements.

Not only do we offer an industry-leading Ten Year Warranty, we make sure that any improvements are reverse compatible with legacy products.

Belts with benefits.

More belt, fewer posts.

Our 10’ belts are 43% longer than the industry standard. We also have other products with belts up to 65’ long to suit any application.

Woven with care.

High strength, tightly woven belt material holds up to elements without fraying or puckering.

It’s getting personal.

Sky’s the limit on customizing your stanchion with high quality full color printing on our belts. Our talented designers can help bring your ideas to life. Just ask a Sales Pro for assistance.

Size matters.

Our standard belts are 2” wide. Purchase or upgrade to a 3” wide B.I.G. (Big Impact Graphics) belt for maximum visual impact of your messaging or brand.

Upgrade available on certain 10′ belt models only. Speak with a People Guidance Pro for more information.

All About the Premium SLOPED Cast Iron Base

Click image above for larger view

Watch our entertaining and informative video on the difference our Cast Iron Bases can make in the longevity of your queue.

Comes standard with premium features and some pretty sweet upgrade options.

18 lb Cast Iron Sloped Base with EVERstraight® Technology keeps floor stanchions straight. Upgrade to a 30 lb Heavy Baseweight, Weather-Protect coating or add our exclusive RETRACTA-WHEEL for enhanced Stanchion Base Styles.

Weather-Protect: We've got your sloped base covered for any application.

  • Stock Coating
    Our premium cast iron sloped bases come standard with mild, weather-resistant, wet paint (not rated for outdoor use).
  • Weather-Protect
    More durable Weather-Protect coating is usually sufficient for most outdoor, non-coastal applications (Extended submersion could cause the glue to fail on the rubber pads).
  • ULTRA Weather-Protect
    Extremely durable ULTRA Weather-Protect is a process designed for prolonged, harsh outdoor exposure, such as an outdoor queue for a ferry terminal.

RETRACTA-WHEEL: Exclusive hidden wheel design is our stanchion's super power.

  • Stanchion transports easily when RETRACTA-WHEEL is exposed.
  • Simply tilt the post to flip the wheel under the base.
  • RETRACTA-WHEEL easily conceals beneath the base when it’s not in use. 

All About the MAGNETIC Base

Our most attractive base mount.

MAGNETIC stanchions base mounts are the only ones that don’t require drilling into floors. Securely adheres to most surfaces with VHB tape.

  • Maximize Queue Space: Small base diameter allows for tighter lane widths to get more linear queuing in the same area.
  • Beveled base plate edges: prevent tripping when posts are removed.

Sit. Stay.Good Boy!

Integrated alignment features ensure posts stay on the plate and don’t slide off while in use.

Spin Me Right Round

With EZ360, posts can easily rotate in any direction after installation–allowing you to align and realign your belts as needed.

Showing a Little Flex

Exclusive spring-loaded FLEX technology absorbs impact, so posts remain connected to floor plates.

All About the MINI-SOCKET® Base

Minimum Footprint. Maximum Style.

Patented MINI-SOCKET® stanchion base mounts have the smallest possible footprint, making posts appear ‘baseless’ and install in 15 min. Different length sockets are available to accommodate all flooring types.

  • Accommodates thinner floors where larger, deeper sockets can’t be installed.
  • Save money on installation labor costs compared to other permanent/ semi-permanent stanchions.
  • Multiple anchor options accommodate different floor depths, materials and conditions.
  • Nylon disc: protects end of the post and floor surface from getting damaged due to post movement.
  • Posts remove easily from the socket: making floor maintenance easy.

Spinning to the Perfect Spot


Posts can easily rotate 350º, in almost any direction, after installation–allowing you to align and realign your belts as needed.

No Visible Base, Flush Mounted Perfection.

Flush-mounted and more visually appealing on the floor surface when posts are removed than standard sockets

10º of Flexible Impact Resistance


Exclusive spring-loaded FLEX technology absorbs impact and allows post to lean 10º in any direction to absorb impact.

All About the REMOVABLE Base

Easy In. Easy Out.
Sturdy posts won’t shift when installed in REMOVABLE base mounts, but easily remove from socket for flexible floor stanchions queues.
  • Expandable queuing area: set up additional posts for a larger queuing area during busy seasons. When fewer posts are needed, insert the socket cap and store posts for a neat appearance and no tripping hazard.
  • Easy floor maintenance: no heavy bases to transport. Simply remove the lightweight posts, clean the floor, and insert the posts back into the sockets.
  • Available in a variety of posts: including standard 10’, 15’ or 30’ RETRACTA-BELT® lengths, Display, Classic or Dual Line posts.
  • A Full line of post finishes: to match the décor in your facility.
  • Built-in sign attachments: no costly adapters.
  • 10 year warranty

All About the FIXED Base

In it for the long haul.

FIXED base mounts are the ideal solution when setting up permanently established floor stanchion queues. Easy to install. Simply requires three screws to be drilled into the ground.

  • Economical. The permanent fixed base mount is the most economical option in our product line.
  • Built tough. The steel post, welded to the 5” diameter steel base, ensures a strong permanently secured attachment to the ground.
