Why Choose the 360 Series?

The RETRACTA-BELT® 360 Series combines elevated signage and premium crowd control in one integrated system. Its 72” post height places messages above surrounding foot traffic, while the 10’ retractable belt organizes queues, directs visitors, or restricts access without requiring a separate sign stand.

HIGH-VISIBILITY GUIDANCE

Messaging That Rises Above the Crowd

At 72” tall before the sign frame is added, the 360 Series positions directions, identification, safety information, and branded messaging where people can see it from farther away—even in crowded facilities.

  • 72” post height, excluding the sign frame
  • Ideal for entrances, checkpoints, airports, venues, and service areas
  • Combines elevated communication with active queue control

360 Series QUESTIONS

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the 360 Series different from a standard retractable belt stanchion?

The 360 Series is 72” tall before a sign frame is added, placing important messaging above surrounding foot traffic while retaining an integrated 10’ RETRACTA-BELT® for queue control.

Is a sign frame included?

No. Compatible Designer Series and Heavy Duty Sign Frames, slide-in attachments, and sign inserts are sold separately so the frame size, finish, and message can be selected for each application.

How do sign frames attach to the post?

Compatible frames use a durable slide-in post attachment. This creates a secure connection while allowing the frame to be removed when messages need to change.

Can the sign and belt be custom printed?

Yes. Visiontron can produce custom sign graphics and custom printed belts for branding, wayfinding, safety messages, sponsorships, and operational communication.

What base styles are available?

The 360 Series is available with a standard 30 lb Sloped Cast Iron Base or MAGNETIC, MINI-SOCKET®, Removable, and Fixed mounting options.

Why does the portable version use a 30 lb base?

The extra-heavy baseweight provides additional stability for the 6’ tall post and an attached sign frame. An optional RETRACTA-WHEEL makes the portable configuration easier to move.

Can the 360 Series be serviced in the field?

Yes. Its two-piece construction and replaceable RETRACTA-BELT® components are designed to simplify on-site service and extend product life.

What warranty is included?

Every 360 Series RETRACTA-BELT® Sign Post is backed by Visiontron’s industry-leading 10-Year Warranty.
