Q-PANEL Top Beam delivers a more substantial boundary than a retractable belt without the cost or weight of a fully framed panel. The heavy aluminum top beam protects the insert, adjustable EZ-Off End Blocks simplify installation, and four top screws permit insert replacement while the system remains attached to its posts.
Top Beam concentrates the heavy-gauge aluminum at the upper edge of the insert, reducing frame material and weight while retaining the rigid panel surface needed for queue definition and communication.
The top beam provides the structural connection between posts and uses four screws to retain the insert, helping prevent casual tampering while allowing authorized replacement.
Remove the four top screws to release and replace the insert while the Top Beam remains connected to its posts. Select Sintra, acrylic, Durabond or a compatible custom material.
Adjustable flexible EZ-Off End Blocks come standard, attaching the Top Beam to compatible single-line RETRACTA-BELT posts and supporting straightforward setup, alignment and removal.
Q-PANEL Top Beam systems include an industry-leading ten-year limited warranty and support for compatible posts, inserts, end blocks, bungees, custom printing and specialty sizes.

24" or 32" HighTop Beam panels integrate with compatible single-line RETRACTA-BELT posts and can be added to an existing suitable queue or specified with new posts as a complete system.
Confirm the post model, base style, center-to-center spacing, panel height and operating environment before ordering the Top Beam system.
Use Top Beam where a belt is too flexible and a full framed Q-PANEL is unnecessary, but the layout still benefits from line-ducking prevention, visual separation or printed communication.
Compare PNLTB frame sizes, insert and viewable areas, finishes, insert materials, standard EZ-Off connections, weight, post compatibility, technical drawing, warranty and literature.
Coordinate the supporting components around the panel size, post spacing, desired permanence, environment and messaging needs.
