Epic Solutions offers a range of high-end barriers designed to ensure effective crowd control. Among them, the Pro Retractable Stanchion has become the new industry standard for constructing efficient queues. With its robust build, advanced safety features, and customization options, the Pro Stanchion stands out as the top choice for high-traffic areas. In this blog post, we'll explore the reasons why so many businesses are opting for the Pro Stanchion with an 11’or 13’ belt as their preferred crowd management solution.

The Pro Stanchions's base is crafted from sturdy cast iron and the post from heavy-duty steel, ensuring exceptional durability for high-traffic situations where durability is crucial. While it may have a slightly higher price point than more affordable options like the Master range, the Pro Stanchion surpasses them in endurance and service life. Users can rely on this stanchion for a robust and long-lasting performance that withstands the test of time.

Safety is of utmost importance in the Pro stanchion, and it is equipped with a range of features in both the post and belt to ensure the utmost security for your queue. With a slow retraction brake system to eliminate the risk of “belt whip” and a belt lock mechanism, you can rest assured that accidents due to the belt will be effectively prevented. The belt lock mechanism securely locks the belt end onto the receiver, preventing any pedestrian tampering or accidental release. Even in the rare event of an accidental release, the Pro stanchion's belt brake system ensures slow, safe retraction. This is done by slowing down the retraction of the belt to a rate where the belt will move safely along floor and not fly through the air risking injury to by standers.

Furthermore, the Pro Stanchion is equipped with a full circumference rubber floor protector on its base, ensuring that your floor remains unscuffed and undamaged. This protective feature saves potential damage to expensive flooring. 

Customizing the Pro Stanchion to match your brand identity is made easy with a range of options. Choose a post finish from a wide selection, including Black, Polished Stainless, Satin Stainless, Polished Chrome, Satin Chrome, Polished Brass, and Satin Brass. For a more luxurious look, the Pro Stanchion offers finishes like Statuary Bronze, Pewter Nickel, English Antique, and Antique Copper, elevating the aesthetics of any environment, from a grocery store to a high-class restaurant.

Beyond post finishes, this stanchion offers an extensive range of belt options. Businesses can select between 11' and 13' belts, available in over 50 different colors and safety messages. The Pro Stanchion 11’ belt also offers an Xtra version with a 50% wider 3" belt, providing much greater visibility to text or branding.
