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?

We have a comprehensive range of queue barriers suitable for all uses and locations. The main types include retractable tape barriers, post and rope barriers, post and chain barriers, and café barriers. A wide range of materials, bases, colours, and finishes are available to suit different businesses and applications.

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.

Where are queue barriers commonly used?

Queue barriers are essential tools for creating waiting lines in shops, supermarkets, street markets, and other retail spaces. They are also used in cinemas, museums, galleries, airports, and visitor attractions. Facilities management staff use these barriers when cleaning and performing maintenance in public and commercial buildings. Outdoor queue barriers can be used at outdoor events such as festivals, concerts, fairs, and sports events, as well as for parking and traffic management.

What queue barrier brands do you stock?

We are official suppliers for Tensator, Queuemaster, and Skipper barriers, as well as having the ProQ range that is exclusive to Discount Displays. We have all the best brands of queue barriers and will beat the price of any other supplier.

What materials are used in these queue barriers?

The posts in these queue barriers are made from various types of toughened plastic or coated steel. Bases can be concrete filled, moulded plastic, rubber, or water fillable. Tensabarriers use a durable and long-lasting military-grade webbing tape. Post and rope barriers feature attractive and sophisticated materials such as chrome and a choice of braided or velvet ropes.

Are there different finishes and colours of queue barrier?

Queue barrier posts are available in a wide range of finishes and colours, with metallic finishes such as chrome, stainless steel, and gold, as well as various bright primary colours. The barrier tape in retractable barriers can be various colours, with single colours and stripped safety patterns available, offering massive scope for personalisation and customisation. We also offer custom branded queue barrier belts and custom cafe barriers for a fully personalised finish.

Can we have custom branding and graphics for our queue barriers?

Café barriers allow custom printed banners to be placed between the posts, for displaying branding and promotional messages. Tensabarriers can feature custom printed and branded posts, with the possibility of personalising posts with high-resolution and vibrant graphics and patterns.

What queue barrier base options are available?

Different types of queue barrier bases are available suitable for different floor surfaces and use indoors or outdoors. Base material options include concrete filled plastic or metal, tough moulded plastic, metal, rubber, and water-fillable bases. Our range also includes Rollabarriers which have wheels to make moving the barriers easy.

How long are these queue barriers?

Retractable barriers have the advantage of being set to different lengths, with belt lengths ranging from 2.1m up to a huge 20m to suit different environments and requirements. Post and rope barriers have a standard rope length of 1.5 m, while chain barriers use a single length of chain of up to 25 m, split between multiple posts.

Do you have outdoor queue barriers?

We have queue barriers specially designed for use outdoors. These barriers are weatherproof and feature heavier bases to make them stable for use in windy conditions.

Do you have cheap and low-cost queue barriers?

We have various budget and low-cost queue barrier options. Retractable barriers start at just £44.95 for our budget model, while our post and chain barriers start at £72.50 for a set of 4 posts and a 10m chain.

Do your queue barriers come with a guarantee or warranty?

All our queue barriers come with at least a 1-year hardware warranty, with many models offering multi-year guarantees. These are high-quality barriers designed for commercial use.

How long will delivery of our queue barriers take?

We maintain a large stock of barriers at our UK warehouse in Croydon and can offer faster deliveries than many other companies. Most queue barriers can be delivered in 2-5 working days.
