The Full Rental Catalogue

Crowd control rentals in Edmonton

Every item on this page is answering one of three questions: where does the line go, how does the entrance look, and what stops a crowd going somewhere it should not. Work out which of the three you are solving and the rest of the order follows quickly.

A line that forms and re-forms — registration, a bar, a gate, a box office — wants belt stanchions. The 8 ft belt pulls out of one post, clips into the next and winds back flat, so a lane can be redrawn while people are still standing in it. An entrance that is going to be photographed wants rope stanchions, usually with a carpet runner beneath them, because draped velvet reads as an occasion in a way a retractable belt simply does not. A crowd that is outdoors, standing, or pressing forward needs neither: that is barrier work, and at the front of a stage it is stage barricade.

Most events use two or three of them at once. An outdoor launch runs barrier on the perimeter with belt posts inside it; a gala runs a runner with ropes either side and belts at the desk. Ordered together they arrive as one delivery with one contact and one collection, which is the practical reason to put the whole event on a single quote rather than three.
