Tensabarrier® Queue Barriers: The Original & The Best
The world's safest retractable barrier system. Displaysense is a proud supplier of authentic Tensabarrier® products. Recognised globally as the gold standard for queue management, Tensabarrier® is the trusted choice for major international airports, leading retailers, and safety-conscious venues. Renowned for its patented braking technology and robust construction, it offers unmatched reliability for managing high-volume footfall.
Our collection includes the classic Tensabarrier Advance Post, durable outdoor units, and space-saving Wall Mounted Units. With a huge range of belt colours and custom printing options, you can maintain safety without compromising your brand identity.
Patented Safety Brake
The safest on the market. Tensabarrier® features a patented braking system that retracts the belt slower than any competitor, completely eliminating "whip-back" injuries.
Anti-Tamper Lock
Secure connection. The unique tape end locking mechanism prevents accidental release by customers, ensuring the queue line remains secure until released by staff.
Low-Profile Base
Trip-free design. The Universal Base features the lowest leading edge on the market, reducing trip hazards for wheelchairs, pushchairs, and suitcases.
Universal Connectivity
Easy integration. While superior in quality, Tensabarrier® posts feature universal belt ends that can connect to most other standard barrier systems you may already own.
Military Grade Webbing
Built to last. The retractable belts are made from 0.89mm military-grade fabric. This is significantly thicker than standard belts, preventing fraying and sagging over time.
Custom Branding
Total customization. We can supply belts with full-colour digital printing of your logo or message. Unlike surface printing, the dye penetrates the fabric for a finish that won't scratch off.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Tensabarrier® safer than other barriers?
The patented braking system. Most barriers retract at speed, creating a "whip" effect. Tensabarrier® uses a centrifugal brake to slow the retraction speed, making it the safest option for environments with children or high footfall.
Can I customise the belt design?
Yes. We offer full customisation. You can have your corporate logo, colours, or specific safety messages (e.g., "Caution: Wet Floor") printed directly onto the webbing. Contact us for a bespoke quote.
What belt lengths are available?
2.3m and 3.65m. The 2.3m belt is standard for most retail queues. The longer 3.65m belt allows you to cover larger areas with fewer posts, reducing the overall cost of your system.
Are these suitable for outdoor use?
Specific models only. While standard steel posts are for indoors, we stock the Tensabarrier® Outdoor Range which features plastic posts and rubber bases designed to withstand UV rays and rain without corroding.
Do you offer wall mounted units?
Yes. We stock Tensabarrier® Wall Units. These contain the same high-quality cassette as the floor posts but screw directly to the wall, ideal for closing off corridors or lifts.
