Queue Barriers

Storage Lockers for Workplace | Staff and School Locker

Any organisation that has visitors will constantly need to manage how those people gain entry to its premises and how they move around. Some businesses will need to be more proactive with managing queues than others, but all companies will benefit from understanding the benefit of queue management systems and how to provide the best standard of service to customers, clients, and employees.

Some firms install a permanent queue management system, while others will benefit from temporary systems that can be altered or used only when needed. Companies should also keep guests and clients fully informed of potential wait times.

Customer Flow Management: Buying Guide


It makes good sense for businesses to have queue management systems in place to ensure they are properly prepared to welcome guests and customers. Some businesses will need a permanent queue management system in place, whereas other organisations will only need a solution at certain times. That is why the flexibility of the wide range of queue management system options we offer ensures there is a solution for every situation.

Firstly, a clearly defined queue management system helps to manage expectations. It is helpful for companies to inform guests how long their wait will be or what the process entails. This can be done through an employee or by the use of signs posted around the queue management system. If guests are being directed towards an area where they will need to sign into a visitors book in order to access the premises, it can provide them with information about what they need to do.

Queue management systems aid security

Managing the entry of people into a building allows for improved security operations. Rather than permitting people to enter freely, creating a queue provides order, making it easier to review and identity guests. If there is to be a security check, such as a bag search or a search via metal detector, a queue ensures that everyone is attended to in an orderly manner. An organised queue also works well in tandem with CCTV cameras because if people enter the premises in an orderly fashion, a well-positioned camera can record everyone who enters the building.

When a company improves security levels within a building, they improve safety, which provides employees and customers or guests with peace of mind. There may be visitors who complain about the inconvenience of the queuing system. However, the presence of queue barriers creates a safer environment, making this a solution that most firms, and users, will be happy to benefit from.

Your business can create a better flow around the working environment

The use of high-vis queue barriers for queue management systems isn’t just based on assisting people to enter a building. They can be utilised to create a flow around the workspace or working environment. If guests are encouraged to view displays and exhibitions, or there is a narrative or order to the workplace, creating a path using queue barriers ensures people enjoy the best experience from their time with your company.

Given that queue management systems can also be used to block off certain areas, there is a chance for firms to ensure that only certain people are allowed in some areas. The use of wristbands can act as an identifier when it comes to individuals and their permitted level of access, but simple high-vis queue barriers are often highly effective in keeping them in areas where they should be.

If your workplace welcomes guests and visitors, improve their experience by utilising a queue management system for your business.

Practical v aesthetic queue barriers


In some locations, queue dividers are entirely for safety purposes, and choosing a basic moveable hi-vis queue management system is important. This could be ideal in industrial settings to manage employee flow, for example. Or you may need queue barriers for security control, with universally understood yellow and black webbing.

But what if you need queue dividers and queue control equipment for areas where paying guests gather? Queue barriers like this would be needed by tourist attractions, event venues, theatres and cinemas, for example. It can also be an important consideration in hotels and restaurants, when you need lobby queue barriers that look appealing.

If you are organising an indoor or outdoor event, using an attractive queue stand and a colour-coded retractable queue barrier may add to the theme and appearance.

Fortunately, our range of queue management systems includes equipment designed to be aesthetically pleasing, as well as being a clear guest control option. For instance, you can buy rope and post queue barriers that look smart at the same time as serving a practical purpose.

Do you need your attractive barrier rope to match your corporate branding or décor? Our queue barrier products are versatile to meet a range of needs, including aesthetic details.

Don’t forget when ordering queue barriers that you can also select versatile accessories such as universal sign holders to add branding or messages to your visually appealing queue management system.

Wall-mounted v free-standing barrier system


Apart from choosing between solely practical queue control equipment or visually impressive queue barriers, you can also decide on the method you prefer for erecting staff and guest dividers and controls.

In some workplaces and shops – or event, hospitality and tourism venues – having a queue stand and retractable queue barrier that are easy to move and use makes perfect sense. Portable free-standing queue barriers can be erected and then stored away. You can also change the layout of this sort of queue management system instantly, and as needs change.

However, in some locations, a free-standing queue stand and queue barriers may be ‘too’ easy to move. Even though you can specify tamper-proof barriers from our range of free-standing visitor control equipment, they can still be inappropriate for some locations.

In this case, your venue or workplace would benefit from wall-mounted queue barriers or queue dividers. These are fast to install and are still queue barriers that can be moved as required. However, they offer a more permanent solution to managing where staff or visitors stand, or the direction they walk in.

Please note that we stock durable high-vis queue barriers supported by a wall-mounted unit that are ideal for traffic queues, not just people. These are excellent queue management systems for warehouse loading bays, or they can be a great option for all-weather queue barriers for car parks, for example.

Check out our range or get in touch to explore remote-controlled queue management systems, for when you need to adapt queue barriers quickly and effortlessly.

However, a low-cost retractable queue barrier may be all that is required. You can also source a wall-mounted retractable queue barrier that takes up very little space, but can still help to manage access, queueing and security.

Outdoor barriers with retractable, weather-resistant webbing and a durable queue stand can be the best way to segregate and direct traffic in temporary car parks, for example, or to support crowd control for outdoor events.

We also stock queue barriers with Retroreflective NightView™ webbing for traffic and pedestrian management in low lighting or at evening events.

Public guidance equipment and queue dividers


One of the advantages of the low-cost queue management systems we supply is that our robust queue barriers and associated equipment offer longevity. Even the queue barriers and queue stands designed for temporary use are engineered to withstand normal wear and tear.

This provides the added advantage of being able to be used for multiple purposes. These queue barriers can be used to encourage visitors to wait in an orderly fashion, or the same queue barriers can be repurposed as a directional aid.

For instance, you may want to use post and rope queue dividers, or queue stands and webbing, to keep people moving. Also, a temporary retractable queue barrier can help shield an area where maintenance work is underway.

This makes our indoor barrier products an inexpensive way to add to your flexible employee and visitor signposting systems.
