The Retractable Cone Belt Barrier - Skipper is engineered to improve operational safety while offering unmatched flexibility. This robust unit houses a 9m fabric belt that extends easily and retracts smoothly, ideal for rapid deployment in industrial settings and outdoor environments. Its cone-mountable form enables quick integration into existing HERMEQ setups without additional tools.
Designed for high-performance, the barrier includes a tension-controlled ratchet that maintains belt tautness and prevents sagging. The belt clip at the end can wrap around structures or connect directly back to the unit, offering multiple attachment options for complex zones. Constructed from high-durability polymers, the unit resists weathering, impact and fatigue.
The Skipper unit supports up to 40m² cordoning with just three posts, reducing labour and equipment needs. Its intuitive grip zones and light weight make it easy for site teams to relocate or reconfigure as needed. Available in high-visibility colours with optional tape styles, it’s widely used in maintenance, logistics, construction, and event security.
Facility managers benefit from its modular design, which pairs with HERMEQ belt barriers, barrier posts and ropes, wall receivers, and more. Whether isolating spill areas, rerouting foot traffic or designating hazard zones, it helps teams stay compliant while reducing setup time. It’s a trusted option for both permanent and temporary control strategies.
For facilities operating across multiple shifts or large open-plan layouts, the Skipper barrier offers consistency and speed. Its long belt reach and small footprint reduce obstruction while maximising safety. Construction firms use it to restrict access to elevated platforms or live equipment zones, while logistics teams apply it to close off aisles during loading operations. In public-facing applications, such as events or retail setups, it offers a professional and visible method of guiding attendees safely.

The Skipper Retractable Cone Belt Barrier delivers a durable, flexible and space-saving solution for dynamic access control. It enables professionals to rapidly isolate hazards, guide foot traffic, or secure restricted areas with minimal disruption. The 9m retractable belt extends from a heavy-duty housing unit that mounts to HERMEQ cone products or compatible base units.
This product stands out for its modular capabilities. It can link directly with tape end clips, dummy barriers, or wall receivers, forming tailored barrier systems that evolve with your site requirements. Each belt includes a locking button to prevent unwanted spooling and is made from UV-rated, tear-resistant material that performs under heavy use.

It’s a popular choice across warehousing, transportation, commercial maintenance and health & safety teams. In operational environments, it helps prevent unauthorised access during machinery downtime or spill response. In customer-facing areas, it creates orderly pathways, supports signage attachments, and improves public safety communication.
Because the belt retraction system includes self-tensioning and slow recoil, it reduces the likelihood of injuries associated with belt whip. The unit is lightweight and can be deployed by a single user in seconds. Multiple units can be daisy-chained to mark out complex shapes or large perimeters efficiently.
Its modularity supports future upgrades—additional tapes, receiver clips, or dummy ends can be added without replacing the core unit. This makes it cost-effective and sustainable for long-term use. The Skipper system is trusted across industry for both temporary and semi-permanent applications where reliability and visibility are essential.
Construction zones benefit from this system’s compactness and rapid install capability—perfect for reassigning access boundaries as work progresses. Public venues and stadiums value the high visibility and compact footprint, which help manage crowd movement during changeovers or emergencies. When combined with HERMEQ signage or lighting modules, it provides complete safety communication from a single unit.
Maintenance crews use Skipper barriers during building checks or shutdowns to alert occupants to temporary closures. In manufacturing, they are used near conveyor belts, production lines, or forklift intersections to restrict access without permanent installations.
Its robust engineering reduces total cost of ownership by lowering failure rates and replacement cycles. Lightweight yet strong, it fits easily into utility vans, site kits, or store cupboards for fast deployment. Whether used in planned setups or emergency responses, this tape barrier system delivers consistent, professional control.
