The 3 Best Ways to Handle Temporary Closures

The 3 Best Ways to Handle Temporary Closures

Last updated: September 13, 2012Perry Kuklin

Temporary closures are an expected part of facility management and operations. In grocery stores, spills cause aisles to close down temporarily.  Crews must shut down restrooms for maintenance. Warehouse aisles must be closed off for safety reasons.  Escalators break down. Cashiers take breaks. Emergencies happen.  For these reasons and more, it's important to have solutions in place for temporary closures. Here are three of the best ways we know of to handle temporary closures in a variety of settings.

1. Wall Mounted Retractable Belts Where your most frequent temporary closures occur, wall receptacles can be mounted to a variety of surfaces and used to facilitate closure at a moment's notice. A retractable belt end slides onto the mount and can then be pulled across a cash register aisle, hotel corridor, or warehouse aisle for efficient and effective closure.  Just as quickly and easily, belts can be removed and the area opened to regular use.

2. Long Belt Stanchions When temporary closures are required for large spaces, such as parking lots, airport runways, or even an entire basketball court, extra-long belted stanchions can offer an idea solution.  Rather than deploying and connecting multiple stanchions and belts, a long belted stanchion can offer the long and temporary coverage you need with less fuss.

3. Post and Panel Transporters When the closure is temporary it's tempting to go with a quick solution, like pulling over a chair to block an aisle or tossing out a couple of cones. Unfortunately short cut solutions like these can be detrimental to the safety of your facility. To make temporary closures easier, post and panel transporters can be used to quickly and easily roll out public guidance posts to close down an area with less hassle.   Temporary closures are a part of the daily operations of many businesses and facilities.
