Tensabarrier Advance Post

The Tensabarrier® is the world’s original retractable barrier developed to optimise space and effectively organise people flow. Crowd control stanchions contain a powerful constant force spring used to retract the post’s webbing. Studies show that the webbing on retractable stanchions without breaking systems accelerate at a speed of 85mph – that is faster than a Formula One car off the starting line! If the retractable webbing is released accidentally and the retraction mechanism is not fitted with a brake, the belt will snap back with enough force to cause injury.

Many competing brands do not have a braking system. The Tensabarrier® has a patented braking system that incorporates twin brake shoes. This slow retract technology allows the belt to fall to the floor when released and then slowly and safely retract back into the Tensabarrier®, eliminating the risk of injury. The anti-tamper tape end means that you have to actually press the button to free the belt, preventing accidental release.

Why Buy Our Tensabarrier®?

HEIGHT MATTERS

The Tensabarrier® has been designed and refined over its lifetime to ensure it is at the optimum height. At 970mm / 38” tall, it is deliberately shorter than competitor products to prevent people going under or over it. They are also easier to knock over due to having a higher centre of gravity and being more likely to catch on clothing or bags.

OPTIMUM BELT LENGTH

Other competitors offer longer belts, but this is only made possible by using thinner webbing, most commonly of lower grade, while keeping the same diameter post. For as long as the post diameters remain the same, longer belts always mean poorer quality webbing, which wear far less well than Tensator’s thicker, better quality material.

HIGHEST QUALITY

Made from 0.89mm military grade fabric, the Tensabarrier® belts are significantly thicker than other retractable stanchions, meaning it is less likely to suffer from degradation over time. Unlike competitor products the thread on the belts will not unravel if cut. Tensator’s digital dye printed webbing also offers a higher quality print.

THE THICKER THE BETTER

The Tensabarrier® steel post offers flexibility in terms of colours and finishes – something that is limited when purchasing an aluminium post from competitors. The Tensabarrier® post material at 1.5mm is thicker than competitor products at 1.1mm, making it a harder wearing product than cheaper alternatives and less likely to get damaged.

ANTI-TAMPER DEVICE

All cassettes have an anti-tamper tape end that prevents the webbing detaching accidentally from the post when pulled out and connected. This connects to all competitor products and is marked with the Tensator® stamp of quality, for instant brand recognition.
