5 Reasons to buy Tensator® barriers
1. EXTREMELY SAFE RETRACTION SPEEDS
At Tensator®, safety is taken seriously. Unlike other retractable stanchions, the Tensabarrier® has a patented braking system that incorporates twin brake shoes. As a result, the webbing falls to the floor upon release before slowly retracting back into the stanchion. This originally patented braking system makes the Tensabarrier® the safest belt barrier available on the market. Every cassette is fitted with a unique braking system on the market the webbing retracts 2.5 seconds slower than its closest competitor; making it the safest solution for your customers.
2. OPTIMUM BELT LENGTH
Other competitors offer longer belts, but this is only made possible by using thinner webbing, most commonly of lower grade, while keeping the same diameter post. For as long as the post diameters remain the same, longer belts always mean poorer quality webbing, which wear far less well than Tensator’s thicker, better quality material.
3. QUALITY WEBBING
Made from 0.89mm military grade fabric, the Tensabarrier® belts are significantly thicker than other retractable stanchions, meaning it is less likely to suffer from degradation over time. Unlike competitor products the thread on the belts will not unravel if cut. Tensator’s digital dye printed webbing offers a higher quality print.
4. IDEAL BARRIER HEIGHT
The Tensabarrier® has been designed and refined over its lifetime to ensure it is at the optimum height. At 970mm / 38” tall, it is deliberately shorter than competitor products to prevent people going under or over it. The Tensabarrier® is harder to knock over as it has a lower centre of gravity and is less likely to catch on clothing or bags.
5. GREAT POST THICKNESS
The Tensabarrier® steel post offers flexibility in terms of colours and finishes – something that is limited when purchasing an aluminium post from competitors. The Tensabarrier® post material at 1.5mm is thicker than competitor products at 1.1mm, making it a harder wearing product than cheaper alternatives and less likely to get damaged.
