Skipper XS Retractable Barrier Unit – 30 ft (9 m) Wall & Surface Mount
The Skipper™ XS packs the full 30 ft (9 m) of high-specification fabric tape that made Skipper the market leader in retractable barriers into a compact, low-profile housing designed for indoor environments. Three connector points let the XS interface with its accessories from different angles, so it can be mounted almost anywhere.
Combine the XS with the wall receiver clip, magnetic receiver clip, suction pad holder/receiver, clamp holder/receiver, magnetic & cord strap holder/receiver, curved cord strap holder/receiver or bollard adapter to create retractable barriers on walls, glass, door frames, racking, pillars and bollards – keeping floors completely clear.
