Home / Crowd Control Barriers / Panels & Barricades / Heavy Duty Q-PANEL System
Heavy Duty Q-PANELS turn compatible stanchion posts into a stronger, more continuous boundary. The tamper-resistant aluminum frame supports rigid queue control, custom messaging, transparent guards, opaque privacy areas, and 6'-tall space division while remaining reconfigurable and serviceable.
The heavy-gauge aluminum frame is designed for demanding queue and partition applications. A standard tamper-resistant design helps protect the selected insert from casual removal or interference.

Standard panel sizes support lane barriers and perimeter control, while the 48-by-66-inch privacy panel creates screening areas, transparent guards, partitions, and temporary rooms.

Select Sintra, acrylic, glass, paper-display layers, or a specialty material. Inserts can remain plain, provide transparency or privacy, or be directly printed with messages, branding, advertising, and wayfinding.
Heavy Duty Q-PANEL frames begin with semi-recycled material, are domestically extruded to reduce shipping and transportation demands, and end with a frame that is 100 percent recyclable.

Heavy Duty Q-PANEL systems include an industry-leading ten-year limited warranty and support for compatible posts, attachment components, replacement inserts, custom graphics and installation planning.

When a rigid queue layout is needed without permanent or semi-permanent floor mounting, portable Designer Series or Heavy Duty (shown) Q-PANEL® systems provide a flexible solution. Q-PANELs attach securely to RETRACTA-BELT®posts with stable cast-iron bases, creating a sturdy barrier that can be repositioned as operational needs change.
The panel slides onto the top clip with a standard attachment. A support bungee secures the bottom and is required outdoors.
Standard + BungeeFlexible EZ Off End Blocks simplify the installation and removal of rigid queue panels used with floor-mounted RETRACTA-BELT® posts. Designer Series (shown) and Heavy Duty Q-PANEL® frames include factory-installed EZ Off End Blocks when specified with MINI-SOCKET®, REMOVABLE, MAGNETIC, or FIXED post-mount bases. This connection allows the panels to be installed securely while making future removal or reconfiguration more convenient. Learn more about our base styles.
Not sure which mounting method fits your facility? A Visiontron People Guidance Pro can help you select the right posts, panel connections, and base style for your application.
Q-PANEL attaches to post with flexible, factory-installed EZ Off End Blocks. A Bungee Cord is wrapped around the post at the bottom to secure the panel. (Required when panels are used outdoors with single line posts.)

Yes, when the existing single- or dual-line RETRACTA-BELT posts are compatible. Confirm the post model, line configuration and base style so the correct standard attachment, EZ-Off End Blocks and support bungees can be specified.
The four configurations are single-line portable posts with a standard attachment and bungee; single-line mounted posts with EZ-Off End Blocks and bungee; dual-line portable posts with upper and lower standard attachments; and dual-line mounted posts with upper and lower EZ-Off End Blocks.
Factory-installed EZ-Off End Blocks are required when the accompanying posts use MINI-SOCKET, REMOVABLE, MAGNETIC or FIXED base mounts.
A support bungee secures the lower panel to a single-line post. It is required when a Q-PANEL is used outdoors with single-line posts and recommended where additional lower-panel rigidity is beneficial.
