Accessibility for All!

The Potelet® barrier posts have been designed with accessibility in mind. The base of Potelet® barrier posts is the flattest base on the market, enabling it to create a more accessible environment for everyone, including users with reduced mobility or visual impairments.

Who will benefit from this ultra-flat base?

Around the world, various regulations require operators of public spaces to make reasonable adjustments to avoid placing people with disabilities at a significant disadvantage. The ultra-flat Potelet® base has been developed with these requirements in mind. It has the lowest profile on the market, which facilitates the passage of wheelchair wheels over the base and does not present an obstacle for people with visual impairments.

Wheelchairs and people with visual impairments

The conditions of access for people with disabilities to an event or location must be the same as those for able-bodied individuals. This is, for example, a requirement under accessibility legislation in the UK and EU. In practical terms, if you are organising an event for example, you must install sales counters at wheelchair height. In terms of queuing areas, this must be reflected in the provision of access routes dimensioned for the passage of wheelchairs.

Wheelchair users and those with mobility problems will appreciate the new base of Potelet® barrier posts. Designed and tested worldwide with those who have disability issues, it is the only base on the market that presents a lower risk of tripping and allows wheelchair users to roll over the base with ease.

Pushchairs

The base of Potelet® barrier posts helps with accessibility for pushchair users: with the wider pushchair models now on the market, the queue can be a difficult place to navigate. The new base makes queuing easier and enhances the customer experience.

Wheeled luggage

The base of Potelet® barrier posts is the only base on the market that makes queues 100% accessible with luggage. The wheels glide smoothly over the base, eliminating customer and passenger frustration, as well as damage to the posts.
