FAQs

What Are Stanchions?

Stanchions are a common element in barrier systems, typically designed as upright posts. They help in directing pedestrian traffic, managing queues, and enhancing overall crowd control across various environments, offering both functionality and flexibility.

A stanchion essentially refers to a component of some form of barrier system – typically a retractable barrier or post in an upright position, which provides support for other objects. Although the name ‘stanchion’ may not be familiar for some, this type of barrier system is a common sight across a range of industries throughout the world – many of us stand in lines or queues supported by stanchions regularly without even really being aware of it.

AEC offers free-standing and surface-mounted stanchions catering to different needs and environments.

Why Are Barrier Systems Important?

Barrier systems are great for organising visitor movement and maintaining orderly crowd flow. Their strategic implementation can reduce the need for permanent structural alterations, proving indispensable for businesses, events, and public spaces aiming for efficient space management and safety.

Where Are Stanchions Used?

Stanchions are versatile and found in a multitude of settings, including retail stores, airports, museums, galleries, and festivals. They serve multiple purposes from guiding crowds, and managing queue lines, to designating restricted areas, and ensuring a seamless flow of people.
