Skipper Retractable Safety Barrier Unit – 30 ft (9 m) Cone Top Tape Barrier
The Skipper™ unit is the original cone-top retractable safety barrier and the choice of health & safety professionals worldwide. Each unit holds 30 ft (9 m) of high-visibility, high-durability fabric tape that pulls out smoothly and clips into the next Skipper unit, a receiver clip, or back onto itself around a pillar – creating a clean, professional cordon in seconds.
The Skipper unit clicks onto the top of almost any standard traffic cone, the Skipper road cone and the Skipper post & base system. Add a wall or magnetic support bracket and it mounts directly to walls, vehicles and steel shelving with no cone or post at all. Choose from orange, red, blue, silver and yellow housings with red/white, black/yellow, reflective, “CAUTION DO NOT ENTER” and “DANGER” tapes, plus matching tape-free Skipper dummy end units.

Applications
Skipper units are used for traffic management, construction and utility works, warehouses and logistics, facilities management, cleaning and hygiene, airports, retail and events – anywhere you need a fast, tidy, reusable safety cordon that is far more professional than loose barrier tape or chains.
Skipper Unit vs. Dummy Unit
A standard Skipper unit contains 30 ft (9 m) of retractable tape. A Skipper dummy unit has the same housing and cone-top fit but no tape – it simply receives the tape end clip from the previous unit, making it the economical choice for the last point in a line.
