Queue Barriers

Create order in otherwise chaotic areas with Queue barriers. These barrier systems have extending belts, ropes, or chains that allow each post to link to the next, facilitating the quick creation of organised queues. These simple barriers are seen everywhere, from supermarkets to airports and even warehouses, as their ease and speed of use make them highly convenient. Wall-mounted options can also be used to close off areas for maintenance or when cashiers are not available. By working with a range of manufacturers we can offer products suitable for every budget and business.

About Queue Barriers

Efficiently managing queues in workplaces such as restaurants, shops, airports, and cinemas can have a surprising impact on how customers and visitors perceive your business. A slow, poorly managed queue may give the impression that you are understaffed or badly organised; alternatively, a fast queue that is clearly set out ensures that no one jumps the line and ensures customers feel like they are being treated fairly and efficiently.

With the above in mind, the task of setting out your queue system can never be taken too lightly and is vital to your customer service and experience in your venue or business. This is why we offer a comprehensive selection of queue management systems that fit into almost any working environment. Moreover, they are all easily and readily reconfigured, allowing you to quickly adjust them to the changing requirements and volumes of foot traffic throughout the day.

With a wide range of queue management barriers to choose from, we can cater to indoor and outdoor venues that require systems that match your business's aesthetic. Keep reading to learn more about the different styles and types of queue barriers we offer.

Key Considerations When Buying Queue Control Barriers

Use the points below to help you make an informed buying decision and get the best queue barrier system for your needs.

Weatherproofing

Will you be deploying your barriers outside or inside? If they are going to be used as outdoor barriers, ensure you buy something with suitable weatherproofing.

Freestanding

Do you have the space for a freestanding stanchion, and do you need to move the barrier system around occasionally?

Wall Mount

Do you have a fixed location, such as a doorway or lift entrance, that you need to close off?

Colour

Decide if you need a colour that blends in with the setting it is going to be deployed in or one that really stands out so people take notice of the barrier.

Finish

Choose a hard-wearing and easy-to-clean finish. Chrome and brass finishes look great but can require more polishing than other options.

Messaging

Do you need the barrier to display a message? If so, a retractable belt barrier will be the primary choice.

Length

Ensure you choose a barrier with a long enough belt, chain, or rope. This will allow you to do more with fewer stanchions, saving money and improving floor space.

Storage

Consider how easy it is to store the barrier system you require, do you need something that nests and can fit into a cupboard?

Transportation

Some systems have compatible trolleys or are even fitted with wheels to make them easy to move around.
