Rapid Deployment Crowd Control: JetTrac Portable Barriers For The Biggest Spaces

In high-traffic environments, conditions can shift in an instant. A walkway’s closed for maintenance. A sudden medical emergency arises. A surge of people are headed toward a restricted area. In these moments, crowd control is essential — and has to be fast, secure, and flexible.

Cones, caution tape, or creative ad hoc solutions won’t do. Operators need a dependable way to respond to conditions — without disrupting the guest experience or compromising safety.

JetTrac Portable Safety Barriers, the industry's longest retractable belt safety barrier, are a rapid deployment crowd control system designed for action — with extra-long-reaching belts and all-weather stability, these barriers can be easily deployed by one person. So whether it’s a routine reroute or sudden situation, your team is equipped to cover large spaces instantly.

Solving large-scale issues with portable crowd control barriers

Most temporary safety barriers aren’t built for the realities of large-scale events. Plastic fencing can be too flimsy and time-consuming to set up, while standard-length crowd control barriers may require connecting several units to cover a large area, which can be inefficient and require multiple staff members. In contrast, the JetTrac portable safety barrier allows for quick single-person deployment, rolling out 130 feet of barrier in just minutes. 

An extra-long portable barrier: built for speed, scale, and safety

The JetTrac Dual Portable Safety Barrier is a unique retractable post-and-belt crowd control barrier that quickly delivers up to 130 feet of coverage. Despite its industry-leading length, one person can roll the portable stanchion-and-belt unit into place and set it up without tools, complex setup, or extra parts. Built for high-traffic environments — indoor or outdoor — it’s a secure, versatile solution for large spaces.

Key features:

• Dual retractable belts: Quickly create a large-scale crowd control barrier using fewer units. Each weather-resistant, anti-static belt extends up to 65 feet for a total of 130 feet of linear coverage.
• Swiveling dual belt housings: The two belts can be easily deployed in any direction from a single point to create flexible boundaries for corners or other hard to fit spaces.

• Heavy-duty construction: JetTrac stays upright in windy or high-traffic environments. Its sturdy aluminum cases, heavy-weight bases, and high-impact plastic base cover ensure long-lasting durability. 

• Large rugged rubber wheels: One person can easily transport and position the barrier unit or navigate across uneven terrain with minimal effort. 

• Flexible belt ends: Quickly connect to other stanchions using the standard belt end, or use the J-hook or S-hook belt ends to attach belts to columns, handrails, grips, or other area hardware.

• Enhanced safety features: Available in standard black tubing, or with upgraded high-visibility options like reflective tape or neon yellow belts — perfect for low-light or dense environments — and solar-powered flashing beacons for enhanced outdoor and night-time visibility.

• Compact footprint for easy storage: JetTrac’s sleek design makes it convenient to store. Pair with Lavi’s JetTrac Shuttle, which accommodates three additional JetTrac Satellite posts, for up to 260 feet of barrier in an easy-to-pull train.

JetTrac in action: real-world use cases

Here’s how Lavi’s JetTrac crowd control solution helps teams stay ready for anything.

Rerouting pedestrians outside an airport

During terminal renovations at a major airport, construction crews can temporarily block the main pedestrian route between terminals. Rather than install semi-permanent fencing or deploy additional staff to direct people, the airport uses JetTrac units to create a safe, temporary walkway around the worksite. The flexible layout allows airport staff to make adjustments based on daily traffic patterns and changing weather conditions, while directing travelers through a clear and visible path.

Securing a football field at halftime

At a football stadium, crowd control needs escalate quickly — especially at halftime when energy is high and fans want to get close to the field for the entertainment. With just a few minutes between the end of the first half and the arrival of performers, stadium staff rolls JetTrac units into position at tunnel entrances and down the sidelines to form a clear perimeter around the field. When the second half begins, the barriers retract and are quickly rolled away, providing an uninterrupted fan experience.

Closing a cruise ship pool for cleaning and maintenance

Cruise ship staff use JetTrac to quickly close pool decks for maintenance. Onboard, where space is limited, deployment needs to happen fast and post-use storage has to be compact. Lavi’s 18+ year partnership with the cruise industry enables us to meet large-scale needs. JetTrac’s clean design and ease of use make it an ideal fit for the ship’s upscale, guest-facing environment and is used across fleets, ensuring uniformity in appearance and function. The system is customized with galvanized steel to withstand saltwater and harsh outdoor conditions, guaranteeing long-lasting performance.

Be ready for crowds when it counts

From event spaces and transportation hubs to high-traffic retail and resorts, JetTrac’s extra-long portable safety barriers are a purpose-built versatile solution for crowd management in public spaces. Whether you're ensuring security, managing temporary closures, or directing traffic, JetTrac goes the distance.
