Why Choose the Heavy Duty Q-PANEL®?

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.

BUILT FOR REPEATED PUBLIC USE

A Rigid Frame That Protects the Insert

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.

  • Heavy-gauge aluminum frame
  • Premium construction for demanding environments
  • Tamper-resistant insert retention

PORTABLE CONNECTIONS

Attaching to Portable Posts

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.

Attaching to Portable Posts

Single Line + Portable Base

The panel slides onto the top clip with a standard attachment. A support bungee secures the bottom and is required outdoors.

Standard + Bungee

Dual Line + Portable Base

Standard attachments slide onto both upper and lower post clips for a rigid connection without a support bungee.

2 Standard Attachments
FIXED CONNECTIONS

Attaching to Permanent/Semi-Permanent Posts

Flexible 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.

Heavy Duty Q-PANEL® QUESTIONS

Frequently Asked Questions

What are Heavy Duty Q-PANEL systems used for?⌄

Heavy Duty Q-PANELS create rigid queue lanes, perimeter barriers, privacy areas, temporary rooms, transparent guards, space divisions, outdoor seating separations, and branded or informational panel systems.

Can Q-PANELS attach to existing stanchion 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.

What are the four Q-PANEL attachment configurations?⌄

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.

When are EZ-Off End Blocks required?⌄

Factory-installed EZ-Off End Blocks are required when the accompanying posts use MINI-SOCKET, REMOVABLE, MAGNETIC or FIXED base mounts.

When is a support bungee required?⌄

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.

Which Q-PANEL sizes are available?⌄

Seven standard frame sizes are available: 48 by 26, 48 by 34, 72 by 26, 72 by 34, 92 by 26, 92 by 34, and the 48-by-66-inch privacy panel. Custom sizes are available subject to minimums.

Which insert materials can be used?⌄

Standard choices include Black or White Sintra, clear or frosted acrylic, layered clear acrylic for paper messages, and clear acrylic with Black Sintra. Tinted acrylic, glass, metals and additional specialty materials are also available.

Can Q-PANEL inserts be custom printed?⌄

Yes. Compatible inserts can be printed with branding, directional messages, advertisements, instructions, artwork or other custom graphics.

Can Q-PANELS be used outdoors?⌄

Yes. Black Anodized and Satin Aluminum frames are outdoor-ready. The accompanying post finish, base, insert material and attachment method must also be selected for the environment, and single-line outdoor systems require support bungees.

What makes Heavy Duty Q-PANELS a more sustainable choice?⌄

The frame is made with semi-recycled material, domestically extruded to reduce shipping and transportation requirements, designed for long service, and 100 percent recyclable at the end of use.

What warranty is included?⌄

Heavy Duty Q-PANEL systems are backed by a ten-year limited warranty.
