The PM412 places the premium WM412 30' wall-mount mechanism on a heavy-duty portable post. Its extra-heavy sloped cast-iron base, standard WEATHER-PROTECT coating, EVERstraight® connection, and built-in RETRACTA-WHEEL create a stable long-span barrier that one person can reposition.
The PM412 uses the field-serviceable 30' WM412 RETRACTA-BELT® mechanism, giving industrial and safety teams long-span coverage with controlled retraction from one portable post. The brake slows the belt as it returns, helping reduce whip-back injuries and accidental impacts around workers, equipment, and vehicles.

The PM412 is constructed as a weatherproof long-span utility barrier. Its high-impact polycarbonate belt housing, aluminum or stainless steel post, tightly woven webbing, and 30 lb cast iron base support repeated use in industrial, transportation, marine, and outdoor safety applications. See the 30 lb Sloped Base section below for stability, weather protection, EVERstraight®, and the built-in RETRACTA-WHEEL.
The PM412 reaches three times farther than a 10' stanchion, allowing safety teams to close wide openings and build long boundaries with fewer posts to purchase, position, and store.

The PM412 Series includes a 10 year limited warranty, and replacement components are available to help extend the useful life of the barrier system.

Engineered to stay firmly planted during use and move easily when layouts change.
The PM412’s 30 lb sloped cast iron base provides the stability needed to support its extended 30' belt in demanding indoor and outdoor environments. Its low-profile shape helps reduce trip hazards, while the durable WEATHER-PROTECT coating guards against exposure to the elements.
The EVERstraight® post connection helps keep the stanchion aligned and upright, even after repeated setup, movement, and daily use. For easier relocation, the concealed RETRACTA-WHEEL remains hidden beneath the base during operation. Simply tilt the stanchion to engage the wheel, roll it into position, and return it upright for a clean, stable installation—without lifting or carrying the full 30 lb base.

Choose from the available standard options for this product.
Choose from five outdoor-ready post finishes, select the standard or ULTRA WEATHER-PROTECT base coating, and specify the 30' belt. The extra-heavy sloped base and RETRACTA-WHEEL are always included.
