WM5000

50' RETRACTA-BELT® Manual Wall-Mount Barrier

The WM5000 Series is a rugged aluminum wall-mounted barrier with a manually operated 50' RETRACTA-BELT® for wide indoor and outdoor openings. Staff use the hand crank and locking pin to set tension and help keep the belt taut across warehouse aisles, loading zones, parking areas, and exposed locations.

Controlling a wide opening takes more than choosing a belt length. Visiontron’s People Guidance Pros can advise on traffic flow, site conditions, and day-to-day use, then recommend or engineer a barrier solution that fits your facility.

PRODUCT FEATURES

Why Choose the WM5000 Series?

The WM5000 is designed for openings that exceed the practical range of conventional spring-retracting wall mounts. Its manual crank, locking pin, aluminum construction, and 50' belt create a simple, tensioned barrier for large and demanding indoor or outdoor areas.

EXTRA-LONG ACCESS CONTROL

Close Large Openings With One Barrier

The WM5000 spans up to 50' from one compact wall-mounted housing, reducing the need for multiple posts or shorter barrier units.

  • 50' high-strength woven belt
  • Designed for wide indoor and outdoor openings
  • Ideal for warehouse aisles, parking areas, and loading zones

HAND-CRANK OPERATION

Set and Lock the Belt Tension

The hand crank adjusts belt tension, while the locking pin holds the spool in place so the extended belt remains taut across long spans and windy locations.

  • Operator-controlled extension and retraction
  • Adjustable belt tension
  • Locking pin secures the spool position

EASY INSTALLATION

Rugged Fixed-Mount Installation

The WM5000 uses one heavy-duty fixed installation. The aluminum housing must be secured to a suitable structural surface capable of supporting the unit and the forces created by a tensioned 50' belt.

Secure the WM5000 aluminum housing using 4 screws (2 on each side) to a suitable structural wall or surface.

HDRE

Required Receiving End

The WM5000 does not terminate at a standard wall-mount receiver. Its dedicated aluminum belt end requires the HDRE Heavy Duty Receiving End, ordered separately. The HDRE mounts to the opposite structural surface with two fasteners and accepts the WM5000 belt clip. Its heavy-duty construction supports the long-span, manually tensioned barrier.

Complete the far side of a 50' WM5000 RETRACTA-BELT Wall Mount barrier span with the receiving end designed specifically for its belt. The Smooth Black HDRE mounts to a suitable wall or surface and accepts the belt from the rugged hand-crank wall-mount unit.

  • Outdoor service and equipment areas
  • Wide industrial or institutional access points

WM5000 Series QUESTIONS

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the WM5000 retract?⌄

The WM5000 uses a manual hand crank rather than an automatic spring. The operator turns the crank to extend or retract the belt and uses the locking pin to secure the selected spool position.

Why use manual tensioning for a 50' belt?⌄

Manual tensioning lets the operator adjust the belt for the opening and conditions, then lock the spool to help keep the long belt taut across large or windy areas.

Is the HDRE receiving end required?⌄

Yes. Every WM5000 requires the dedicated HDRE Heavy Duty Receiving End, which is sold separately and mounts to the opposite structural surface.

No. The WM5000 aluminum belt end is designed for the WM5000-specific HDRE Heavy Duty Receiving End.

Can the WM5000 be used outdoors?⌄

Yes. It features aluminum construction and an outdoor-ready Smooth Black finish for suitable indoor or outdoor installations.
