Skipper Dummy Unit – The Perfect End-Point Receiver for Your Safety Barrier
The Skipper Dummy Unit is a smart, flexible accessory for the Skipper safety barrier ecosystem. Designed to act as a receiver for retractable belt systems, the dummy unit has the same robust shell as a standard Skipper unit — but contains no tape. It’s the ideal solution when you need to terminate a barrier line cleanly, without extending tape further.
Whether you’re installing barriers in a warehouse, retail space, construction site or event venue, the Skipper Dummy Unit brings both function and compatibility to your safety setup.
Why Use a Dummy Unit in Your Barrier System?
- Clean end-of-line termination — Use the dummy unit where your barrier line ends, instead of letting the tape dangle or tying it off.
- Seamless compatibility — It accepts the end clip from any Skipper retractable barrier unit, just like a regular unit, sealing the cordon elegantly. (Skipper™)
- Modular integration — Attach it to traffic cones, posts (including the Skipper Post & Base System), wall brackets, or magnetic surfaces using Skipper support brackets.
- Space- and cost-efficient — Because it has no tape, it’s lighter and simpler, making it cost-effective when full barrier units aren’t needed at the terminus.
How to Use a Skipper Dummy
- Line termination
Use the dummy unit wherever your barrier line ends — for example, at a wall, column, or fixed point. The tape from your Skipper retractable barrier will clip into the dummy unit’s slots. - Mounting
Mount it on a traffic cone, Skipper post & base, or use wall/magnetic brackets for vertical surfaces. This flexibility allows you to terminate a cordon exactly where needed. - Accessory integration
You can use it alongside other Skipper accessories—sign holders, LED lights, etc. Even though the dummy has no tape, its shell supports modular attachments.
Benefits
- Neat and safe – no loose tape flapping or dragging, which reduces trip hazards and improves aesthetics.
- Versatile positioning – ideal for indoor and outdoor use, including high-traffic industrial, retail, or public settings.
- Cost-saving – cheaper than full retractable units for endpoints.
- Consistent branding & appearance – using identical casings ensures a uniform look.
To complete your Skipper barrier setup, ensure your cordon lines are not left unfinished. Add the Skipper Dummy Unit for clean, secure termination of barrier lines.
