What are queue barriers?

Queue barriers are tools used for queue management made up of a number of upright posts joined together with tape, rope, or chains. They are commonly used for setting up queue lines, cordoning of areas for cleaning or maintenance, and for restricting access to certain spaces for security or safety reasons.

What different types of queue barriers are there?

Which type of queue barrier is best for our use?

Retractable tape barriers can be set to different lengths and are quick to set up. They can be used to create very neat and efficient queue lines in places such as shops, airports, and visitor attractions. Post and rope barriers have a more traditional appearance that makes them a popular choice for spaces such as cinemas, hotels, clubs, and restaurants. Post and chain barriers are the most affordable barrier type and ideal for safety use, for building maintenance and traffic management. Café barriers have banners that can be custom printed with logos and branding. They are perfect for creating attractive lines in cafes, food stores, and fast-food restaurants.
