What are belt barriers used for?

Belt barriers are flexible crowd control devices used to manage pedestrian flow, queue lines, and to restrict access to certain areas in workplaces, retail environments, and events.

What types of belt barriers does Action Handling offer?

We provide post-mounted retractable belt barriers, wall-mounted belt barriers, and customised modular barrier systems suitable for both temporary and permanent installations.

How do retractable belt barriers improve workplace safety?

They create clear physical boundaries that prevent unauthorised access, reduce congestion, and guide pedestrians safely away from hazardous or restricted zones.

Are belt barriers suitable for indoor and outdoor use?

Yes, many belt barriers come with weather-resistant posts and durable belts, making them suitable for both indoor use (like offices and retail) and outdoor locations such as parking areas or event spaces.

Can belt barriers be customised with branding or colours?

Yes, belts can often be printed with logos, safety warnings, or customised colours to enhance visibility and brand identity while communicating safety messages.

How easy is it to install or move belt barriers?

Belt barriers are highly portable and easy to install, requiring little or no tools. Post barriers can be quickly repositioned and wall-mounted barriers save floor space for permanent applications.

What lengths of belt are typically available on these barriers?

Belt lengths generally range from 2 to 4 meters per post, allowing flexible configuration of enclosed areas and queue lines.

Can belt barriers be linked together?

Yes, multiple posts can be connected by belts to create longer queues or larger restricted zones tailored to your site’s needs.

How do belt barriers compare to other crowd control options?

Belt barriers are more lightweight, flexible, and easier to deploy than rigid barriers or fencing, making them ideal for venues requiring frequent layout changes.
