4 Types of Cargo Control Nets and Their Different Applications
Netting has various uses, including personnel safety, containing debris, and transporting cargo. But having the right net for your application is crucial. Not only will you prevent damage with the proper net, but you will also provide safety for yourself and others. Whether used at construction sites, transportation projects, or for a weekend project, nets will protect workers, pedestrians, vehicles, and nearby property.
At US Cargo Control, we carry and customize 4 types of cargo nets: Scaffold & Debris Nets, Personnel Safety Nets, Lifting Nets, and Truck Cargo Nets. Read on below to learn more about these nets.
FUN FACT: OUR MANUFACTURING TEAM CAN CUSTOM-MAKE NETTING TO MATCH YOUR SPECIFIC, INDIVIDUAL NEEDS.
1. Scaffold and Debris Nets
Made of polypropylene, scaffold and debris nets are commonly used in the agriculture and construction industries. These nets offer protection for both workers and individuals around the building site, as well as other properties. Scaffold nets reduce the risk of accidents, improve productivity, and shorten cleanup time.
You can also use these nets as bridge debris netting, which surrounds a bridge while undergoing work to protect pedestrians, workers, vehicles, and other properties from falling debris. This net is especially ideal for situations where debris may fall into rivers and streams. These nets are durable, economical, and eco-friendly, making clean-up safer and minimizing liabilities.
US Cargo Control offers 3 varieties of debris nets:
Roc-Bloc Debris Net with WS70 1/8" Debris Liner: This net from InCord provides complete debris containment using a structural net along with an attached fine mesh fabric net. Available in 2,000 lb and 5,000 lb load capacities and sizes ranging from 10'x15' to 30'x40' with custom options available.
WS70 1/8" Debris Net: This net is made only from a fine mesh fabric that easily wraps around structures and can easily be moved as needed. Also available in various sizes ranging from 10'x15' to 30'x40' with custom options available.
2. Personnel Safety Nets
Manufactured with a knotted nylon twine, personnel safety nets work for any type of construction, such as building, bridge, tunnel, and highway overpass construction. The netting consists of attachment hooks and a high-tenacity polyamide fiber around the perimeter for a strong end-product with plenty of durability and efficiency. These nets provide not just on-the-job safety, but also protect nearby property and prevent loss of time and job site materials.
US Cargo Control offers standard personnel safety nets, as well as safety nets with debris liners in various sizes, ranging from 10'x15' to 30' x 40'
3. Lifting Nets
Our lifting nets are excellent for lifting heavy or oddly shaped cargo, as well as other cargo that is difficult to accommodate with traditional webbing lifting slings. They are made of a high-tenacity polypropylene fiber, which is considered "knotless" due to the unique knitting construction.
Lifting nets are made with nylon peripheral rope for each of the four loops to add balanced support. The net encompasses the cargo, providing secure, balanced lifting, without adding excessive weight like a chain sling or lifting beam often can.
US Cargo Control offers two varieties of lifting nets - a 6,000 lb capacity lifting net and a 4,000 lb capacity lifting net.
4. Pickup Truck Cargo Nets
Pickup truck cargo nets are a quick and easy way to secure your load while on the road. We offer cargo nets designed for shorter bed pickup trucks and ones for standard and long-bed pickup trucks. To provide the best quality with the best security for your load, both nets come with S-hooks and cam buckles for quick attachment and securement.
In addition, each strap of the cargo net contains a 5k D-ring, so you will never have to worry about damaging or losing your cargo.
