Visiontron's flagship retractable belt barrier system for high-traffic facilities that need durability, safety, customization, and long-term support.
Premium engineering, proven durability, industry-leading safety features, and extensive customization options have made the RETRACTA-BELT® 300 Series the most commonly specified premium retractable belt barrier in North America.
Every RETRACTA-BELT® cassette is designed for long service life, smooth operation, and field serviceability.
EVERstraight® Technology helps maintain professional-looking queue layouts and is backed by a Lifetime Straight Connection Warranty.
For more than 60 years, Visiontron has designed and manufactured premium crowd control systems in our New York facility. Domestic manufacturing gives us tighter quality control, faster lead times, replacement part availability, and the flexibility to build custom solutions that overseas manufacturers simply can’t match.
Highlights:
Heavy-duty construction and premium materials help the 300 Series withstand demanding public environments.
We don’t offer a 10-year warranty because it looks good in a brochure. We offer it because we’re confident in the quality of every 300 Series we build. Our warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship, while premium materials, field-serviceable components, and replacement parts help deliver years of dependable service.
The 300 Series isn’t limited to standard catalog configurations. When your project calls for something unique, our engineering and manufacturing teams can modify nearly every aspect of the system to meet your operational, branding, or architectural requirements.
The 300 Series is engineered to improve both guest safety and accessibility. From controlled belt retraction to optional ADA dual-line guidance, these features help create a better experience for visitors while improving operational safety.
The optional ADA Dual-Line configuration adds a second lower belt to improve queue definition and help create more accessible pedestrian pathways in public environments.
Visiontron's patented E-Z Back® braking system slows belt retraction to help reduce injuries, equipment damage, and accidental impacts commonly associated with uncontrolled belt return.
From portable queue layouts to permanent architectural installations, select the base style that best fits your facility, flooring, and operational requirements.
Compare six base and mounting options to find the best solution for your facility, flooring type, appearance requirements, and operational needs.
Comes standard with premium features and some pretty sweet upgrade options.
