Safety

Progressive braking system that eliminates sudden recoil. Designed to prevent injuries in demanding work environments.

Active Safety

The problem no one addresses: belt recoil

Conventional retractable barriers store the tension of the belt in a spring that, when released, causes violent recoil. This causes injuries—from cuts to the hands to impacts to the face and eyes. Our progressive braking system dissipates that energy in a controlled manner, eliminating the risk at the source.

Progressive braking

The belt retracts, it does not snap out

The retraction mechanism incorporates a braking system that progressively decelerates the belt throughout the entire travel. The retraction speed is gradually reduced rather than accelerating, as is the case with conventional free-spring systems.

The result: the belt reaches the cassette without impact, without noise, and without risk of injury to the operator releasing it.

Injury prevention

Designed for high-use environments

In logistics warehouses, industrial plants, and loading areas, barriers are handled dozens of times a day. Every retraction of a conventional barrier is a potential risk. Progressive braking turns each of these interactions into a safe and predictable action.

This helps reduce work-related injuries in restricted areas—a key factor for occupational safety managers.

Stability

Heavy-duty ultra-flat base

The 38 × 38 cm square base with a total weight of 10 kg (Basic 9m model) provides proven stability in internal test. The low center of gravity and wide support surface prevent accidental tipping, even when the belt is fully extended at maximum tension.

Progressive braking

The post absorbs, not transmits

Progressive braking causes the post to absorb the energy of a side impact by deforming and returning to its original shape. Unlike steel, which transmits the force to the ground and can detach or tip over, the polymer safely dissipates the energy.

This protects both the operator and the surrounding environment—goods, machinery, and other workers.

Risk scenarios and solutions
Risk 01
High-speed belt retraction
Conventional barriers retract the belt with increasing force. At a length of 9 meters, the metal end can reach dangerous speeds.
→ Progressive braking eliminates acceleration. The belt reaches the cassette without impact.
Risk 02
Pole tipping due to impact
A lightweight steel post with a small base can tip over upon receiving a side impact from a wheelbarrow or an accidental blow.
→ 38 × 38 cm square base + 10 kg weight + progressive braking polymer that absorbs the impact.
Risk 03
Fragments after a strong impact
Painted steel posts can splinter or shed fragments of paint and metal upon severe impact.
→ The polymer deforms and recovers. No fragmentation, no splinters, no chipping.
