STOCK COATING

All of our premium cast iron sloped
bases come standard with mild
weather-resistant, black coating.

Coated with a mild, weather-resistant
standard wet paint that’s not rated for
outdoor use.

The rubber pads are glued on with
a super strong glue that holds up in
most applications.

Recommended for indoor use and occassional outdoor
use when conditions are dry.

WEATHER-PROTECT

More durable Weather-Protect
coating is usually sufficient for most
outdoor, non-coastal applications.

Extended submersion could cause
the glue to fail on the rubber pads, so
it’s best not to let these sit in puddles.

The zinc paint coating covers the
outside of the base to protect the
cast iron from rusting.

The rubber pads are glued on with
a super strong glue that holds up
in most applications.

Recommended for non-coastal, non-submergible
outdoor applications.

ULTRA WEATHER-PROTECT

Extremely durable ULTRA
Weather-Protect is a process
designed for prolonged, harsh
outdoor exposure, such as an
outdoor queue for a ferry terminal.

The hot dip galvanized coating
is a very thick and durable metal
coating that encapsulates the
base to prevent rusting.

6 round rubber feet are screwed
into the base securing the pads
from coming off due to delamination
of the glue.

Severe weather exterior use,
including coastal environments and
humid/wet applications.

POST MOUNTED STANCHION BASE STYLES

Magnetic Stanchion Base Mount

Magnetic stanchion base mounts eliminate the need for floor drilling. They adhere securely to most surfaces using heavy-duty VHB tape.

RB_MAGNETIC_HERO_Base

Our sleekest base mount yet.

Designed for easy, damage-free installation. Use VHB tape on smooth, hard floors or epoxy on rough surfaces to skip drilling altogether—or choose screws for a permanent setup.

Make the most of your space.

The compact base diameter lets you tighten lane widths and maximize linear queuing within the same footprint.

Adapt with ease.

Posts can be positioned in any direction after installation, giving you total flexibility to align belts and reconfigure queue lines whenever needed.

Smart design. Solid performance.

Exclusive spring-loaded technology absorbs impact to keep posts securely attached to their floor plates. Three ultra-strong neodymium magnets hold posts upright and aligned during everyday use and low-to-medium impacts.

Designed to integrate seamlessly across our base styles, a precision-cut hole in the base plate locks onto the post’s centering bolt, ensuring proper positioning all day long. Plus, beveled base edges reduce trip hazards when posts are removed.

Mini-Socket® Base Mount

Patented Mini-Socket stanchion base mounts feature the smallest possible footprint, creating a sleek ‘baseless’ look. Installation takes as little as 15 minutes, with multiple socket lengths available to suit any flooring type.

RB_MINI-SOCKET_HERO

Small Footprint. Big Impact.

Value-Driven Installation

Achieve a clean, modern look with economical installation. Compared to other permanent or semi-permanent stanchions, Mini-Socket bases install in about 10 minutes—saving both time and labor costs.

Ideal for Thin Flooring

The minimal drill hole design makes these sockets a perfect fit for thinner flooring surfaces like cement, terrazzo, tile, and granite.

Lightweight, Easy-to-Use Posts.

Each post features a compact yet durable bolt at the bottom, eliminating the need for bulky bases. When traffic increases, simply screw posts into the sockets and rotate up to 350° for quick belt alignment.

Small in size, big on benefits.

The MINI-SOCKET requires just a 15/16″ diameter by 2″ deep hole, so the stanchion occupies only 2.5″ of floor space—the same as the post width, making it one of the most discreet base styles available.

A built-in spring-loaded mechanism allows the post to flex up to 10° in any direction, absorbing bumps from carts, strollers, or accidental contact.

When the post is removed, the socket and screw cap are no larger than a quarter. A protective nylon disc shields both the post and flooring from wear caused by movement.
