Product Overview: The "Popular" Tensabarrier
The Tensabarrier "Popular" is the professional choice for businesses that prioritize public safety. Supplied with Free UK Mainland Delivery, this barrier combines a robust plastic post with the world-renowned Tensator cassette mechanism, delivering a reliable, long-lasting solution for controlling footfall.
Patented Safety Technology
- Centrifugal Braking System: Unlike cheaper alternatives that retract at dangerous speeds, the Tensabarrier features a unique braking system. If the belt is released, it retracts slowly and safely, preventing injury to children or damage to the post.
- Anti-Tamper Locking Tape End: The belt end features a locking mechanism that clicks securely into the receiving post. This prevents accidental release by customers leaning on the barrier or children playing in the queue.
- Constant Torque Spring: The high-quality internal spring ensures the webbing remains taut and does not sag over time, maintaining a neat and professional appearance in your reception or foyer.
Durable & Practical Design
- Impact-Resistant ABS Post: The post is moulded from high-grade black plastic. This material is incredibly tough, scratch-resistant, and does not dent like metal posts, making it ideal for high-traffic zones with luggage or trolleys.
- Weighted Cast Iron Base: Hidden beneath the cover is a heavy 8kg cast iron weight. This provides a low centre of gravity, ensuring the post remains stable and upright even when the belt is fully extended to 2.3m.
- Universal Connectivity: The 4-way connection head allows you to link multiple posts at 90-degree angles. It is also compatible with most other standard retractable barrier brands, allowing you to expand your existing setup easily.
The Cobolt Commitment
- Free UK Mainland Delivery: We manage all logistics to provide a transparent, all-inclusive price for your facility management budget.
- Genuine Brand Quality: We supply authentic Tensator products, guaranteeing you receive the safety features and longevity associated with the market leader.
- Heritage Reliability: Drawing on nearly 50 years of expertise to provide commercial-grade display solutions you can trust.
The Specification Choice for Safety-Conscious Venues
The Tensabarrier Popular Post is primarily specified for environments where public liability is a concern. It is the standard for International Airports, where the slow-retract brake is essential to prevent injury in crowded terminals.
In Leisure Centres and Cinemas, the robust plastic construction is preferred as it is warm to the touch, has no sharp edges, and withstands daily wear and tear better than painted metal.
Key Technical Features
- 2.3m Retractable Webbing – Standard length.
- Patented Braking System – Slow retraction.
- Anti-Tamper Belt End – Prevents accidents.
- ABS Plastic Construction – Scratch resistant.
- 8kg Weighted Base – High stability.
- Universal 4-Way Connection – Flexible layout.
- Inclusive Shipping – Free UK mainland delivery on all orders.

Expert Advice: The Best Tensabarrier for Queues
Q: Is this a genuine Tensabarrier?
A: Yes. This is the authentic "Popular" model manufactured by Tensator. It includes their patented braking system and high-quality webbing, distinguishing it from cheaper, less safe imitations.
Q: Can I use it outdoors?
A: The plastic post is durable and weather-resistant, but the internal steel spring mechanism is not fully waterproof. We recommend using it in sheltered areas or indoors to prolong its life. For dedicated outdoor barriers, please ask our team.
Q: Will it connect to my existing posts?
A: Yes. The tape end is a "Universal" fit, designed to connect to all major brands of retractable barrier posts. The 4-way receiver on the post top also accepts tape ends from other manufacturers.
Q: Why is the braking system important?
A: Without a brake, a released belt snaps back at high speed like a whip, which can cut skin or damage eyes. The Tensabarrier braking system slows the belt down, making it safe for use in environments with children and the general public.
Q: Is the base stable?
A: Yes. The base is weighted with cast iron to approximately 8kg. This makes it difficult to knock over accidentally, ensuring your queue lines remain orderly.
Q: Is delivery included?
A: Yes, Free UK Mainland Delivery is included. We ensure your barrier posts are packaged securely to arrive in perfect condition.
