Why it works

Tape barrier, built to link and last

High-visibility tape

Nine metres of tape pulls from the housing, available in plain colours, hazard stripes, or printed Danger and Caution wording.

Self-tensioning ratchet

A self-tensioning ratchet keeps the tape taut, with a locking button to stop it spooling back in on windy sites.

Links to extend a cordon

The tape end clip fixes back on itself around a post, or clips into another Skipper unit to join a longer run.

Fixed or portable

Screw holes in the base bolt the unit to a permanent fixture, or pair it with a Skipper traffic cone for a portable barrier line.

Frequently asked questions

How long is the tape?

Each unit holds 9 metres of tape, retracting fully into the housing when not in use.

Can I link more than one unit together?

Yes. The tape end clip fits into the tape slot on another Skipper unit, so you can join several units to extend a run.

What tape colours are available?

Eight options: plain red and white, green and white, black and yellow, blue and white, red and white with a reflective strip, and printed Danger, Caution or Caution Do Not Enter wording.

Does it fit accessories like a light or sign holder?

Yes. The top cap unscrews to take the Skipper rechargeable light lamp or the Skipper A4 sign holder, both sold separately.

Can it be fixed in place permanently?

The base has screw holes so you can bolt the unit to a wall, post or floor if you need a fixed barrier point.

Will the tape stay taut in windy conditions?

The self-tensioning ratchet keeps the tape pulled tight, and a locking button stops it spooling back in when it's windy.

How do I stop the tape jamming when I retract it?

Walk the tape back into the unit by hand rather than letting it snap back, so it winds in flat instead of folding inside the housing.
