Why Choose the PM412 Series?

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.

PREMIUM RETRACTA-BELT® TECHNOLOGY

Controlled Retraction for Demanding Work Areas

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.

  • 30' × 2" high-strength woven belt
  • E-Z Back® controlled-retraction brake
  • Universal belt end works with most stanchions
  • Individual replacement parts available
Controlled Retraction for Demanding Work Areas feature for inside
WEATHERPROOF MATERIALS & DURABILITY

Built for Demanding Industrial Environments

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.

  • Outdoor-ready posts: aluminum and satin stainless-steel finishes for demanding environments
  • High-impact mechanism: durable polycarbonate RETRACTA-BELT® housing with serviceable components
  • High-strength polyester belt: tightly woven to resist fraying and puckering
  • Extra-heavy base: 30 lb cast iron with WEATHER-PROTECT coating and molded floor protectors
MORE COVERAGE FROM EACH POST

30' Single-Line Belt

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.

  • Single-line 30' belt configuration
  • Fewer posts needed across long spans
  • Faster setup, repositioning, and storage
30' Single-Line Belt feature for longspan
LONG-TERM SUPPORT

Backed by a 10 Year Warranty

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

  • 10 year limited warranty
  • Field-serviceable belt mechanism

All About the Premium SLOPED Cast Iron Base

Heavy-Duty Stability with Built-In Mobility

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.

Base data

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

  • 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 in action

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.
