A Guide to Purchasing Retractable Belt Stanchions

by Kevin Smith Author

For a venue with crowd control needs or lines that change with the crowd size, nothing can beat stanchions with retractable belts. Crowd Control Center offers a variety of options based on your preferences, needs, and budget, allowing you to customize your crowd control experience. Use the following steps to determine exactly what you need to purchase for your venue and event.

First, confirm exactly what you need. Retractable belt stanchions are perfect for situations where crowd sizes fluctuate and your stanchions need to be movable.

Second, consider colors that work best with your venue. Stainless steel, gold plated, mirror polished, and black powder coated options make up the bases, while belt colors come in many varied options.

Next, think about your size needs. Standard stanchions come in 36 and 40 inch heights and belt lengths of 7 or 13 feet, so decide which will best cover the needs of your space.

Finally, determine the quantity that you’ll need. Analyze your space, determining where you’ll want your stanchions set up, how often they’ll be moved or adjusted, and exactly how many you need. Don’t forget to think smart, however. Buying a few more stanchions than you initially think you’ll need or stocking up on accessories allows you to be prepared for anything an event throws your way.

To purchase your retractable belt stanchions, check out the quality options offered by Crowd Control Center and don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions!
