Capture Attention: WeatherMaster Twin 300

Introducing the WeatherMaster Twin 300, a premier choice in safety stanchions, boasting a unique blend of features aimed at enhancing safety, durability, and maintenance ease. Crafted to capture attention, control access, and guide pedestrians effortlessly, the WeatherMaster Twin 300 redefines safety stanchions with its array of vibrant OSHA colors and safety messages. Whether indoors, outdoors, or in any challenging work environment, this stanchion guarantees years of dependable service. With its innovative twin-belt design, this stanchion sets a new standard for outdoor safety. In this blog we review the features and benefits of this unique retractable barrier.

Innovative Barrier Design: Twin Belts

One of the main improvements of the WeatherMaster Twin 300 lies in its twin belt design. This additional belt helps deter unwanted access by users who may attempt to duck under the belt, while also providing an improved barrier to prevent children from gaining access. The result of the twin belt design is improved perimeter security, but another benefit is ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) compliance. The lower belt is less than 27’’ from the ground which is designed to make it easily detectable by visually impaired pedestrians using a cane. This feature makes the WeatherMaster Twin 300 ADA compliant.

Vibrant Finishes: OSHA-Compliant Colors

Visibility is paramount for delineating restricted areas, and the WeatherMaster Twin 300 provides a range of vivid color options including red, orange, and yellow, alongside a standard black choice, all ensuring heightened visibility. OSHA defines the use of these colors as red indicates DANGER, yellow is for CAUTION while orange is used as WARNING. Not only are these colors OSHA-approved, helping to signify the type of hazard but they also make the barrier more visible in dim and low lighting. If none of these colors meet your requirements the post can be customized in over 200 powder coat colors to accommodate any environment or preference.

Tailored Solutions: Belt Customization

While we offer a range of different post color options, we also offer a wide variety of belt options with over 50 stock colors, stripes, and safety messages available. The message belt options use contrasting colors for the text per OSHA guidelines, black text on yellow belts, white text on red belts and black on orange belts. Our safety messages range from generic CAUTION and DANGER messages to specific warnings such as FORKLIFT TRUCKS and ESD PROTECTED AREA. While we have a large range of stock safety messages available, we can also custom print messages, symbols, or logos to your specification. Our in-house printing department can design and print custom belts in small quantities and on short lead times. This allows us to print anything you require, with our capabilities the possibilities are endless.

Robust Construction: Steel Post And Rubber Base

The WeatherMaster’s post is made from steel rather than the aluminum and PVC commonly used in competing products. This makes the WeatherMaster a tougher, more durable product and will give a longer service life than its competitors. The WeatherMaster’s steel post is matched with a heavy-duty rubber base. Being rubber, this base cannot rust further increasing the product’s longevity and it is designed to take the weight of being driven over. The base also features a sloped design reducing trip hazard and has convenient carry handles making the WeatherMaster Twin 300 easy to use and relocate. The large 18” diameter of this base gives the stanchion significantly improved stability for use outdoors in windy conditions. The steel construction and heavy rubber base make the WeatherMaster Twin 300 ideal for use indoors or outdoors in tough work environments.

Enhanced Safety: Advanced Cassette Design

On top of all the previous features, the WeatherMaster Twin 300 boasts an advanced cassette design, featuring a belt braking system for smooth and safe belt retraction, along with a locking mechanism to prevent accidental belt release. Its innovative design maintains belt integrity, ensuring upright positioning and resistance to sagging, even in windy conditions. Crafted from heavy-duty nylon with a durable herringbone weave, the belt remains fray-resistant for long-lasting performance.
