LAVI
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about LAVI from 3G Electric.
What materials are LAVI barrier posts available in?
LAVI barrier posts are available in plastic, aluminum, steel, and cast iron. The base material can be rubber, steel, or cast iron, depending on the model. For example, SKU 52ZA51 uses a rubber base with a plastic post, while SKU 53DX25 uses a cast iron base with a steel post. The choice of material affects the weight and stability of the post, with cast iron and steel bases providing greater resistance to tipping in high-traffic areas.
What belt lengths and colors are offered for LAVI retractable belt barriers?
LAVI retractable belt barriers are available with belt lengths of 10 ft, 12 ft, and 18 ft, with a standard belt width of 2 in. Belt colors include solid black, solid yellow, and black/yellow horizontal stripe patterns. Some models feature caution messaging printed on yellow belts, such as "Caution" or "Caution Do Not Enter." The belt retracts automatically into the post or wall-mount housing when not in use.
Are LAVI wall-mount retractable belt barriers available with custom messaging?
Yes, LAVI wall-mount retractable belt barriers are available with caution messaging. For example, SKU 52YY94 has a yellow belt with black caution messaging and a fixed mounting plate. SKU 52YY02 also features a yellow belt with "Caution Do Not Enter" messaging. These units are designed for permanent or semi-permanent installation on walls or other vertical surfaces to control access in corridors or doorways.
What accessories are available for LAVI barrier posts?
LAVI offers post-top signs as accessories, such as Sintra plastic signs with messages like "Please Wait Here." These signs are designed to fit on top of LAVI barrier posts and are available in black with white or yellow text. The signs are lightweight and made of plastic, suitable for indoor use. No other accessories, such as replacement belts or base weights, are listed in the product range from 3G Electric.
Can LAVI barrier posts be used outdoors?
LAVI barrier posts are primarily designed for indoor or sheltered outdoor use. The materials—plastic, aluminum, steel, and cast iron—can withstand occasional exposure to weather, but the retractable belt mechanism and any printed messaging may degrade with prolonged exposure to UV light or moisture. For outdoor applications, consider models with steel or cast iron bases for added stability, and avoid direct rain or sun exposure to extend product life.
What is the typical application for LAVI retractable belt barriers?
LAVI retractable belt barriers are used for crowd control, queue management, and area delineation in environments such as airports, train stations, retail stores, museums, factories, and event venues. They create temporary or semi-permanent lanes for ticketing, security checkpoints, or restricted access. The barriers are also used to cordon off hazardous areas or guide pedestrian traffic in industrial facilities.
