Lifting Nets

Cargo Lifting Nets

When it comes to lifting and moving irregular, bulky, or loose materials, cargo lifting nets are the answer. Designed to wrap securely around your load, these nets are commonly used for a variety of jobs, including on construction sites, in warehouses, or on a ship.

At US Cargo Control, we offer two industry-tested styles of cargo net lifting solutions: rope cargo lifting nets and polyester cargo lifting nets. Each is engineered to meet the demands of heavy-duty applications where a standard sling or strap won’t get the job done.

What Are Cargo Lifting Nets?

A cargo lifting net is a mesh-style net used to hoist materials that are oversized, oddly shaped, or hard to secure with conventional rigging. They easily envelope your load, allowing you to attach it to a crane or other lifting system.

Cargo Lifting Net Options

We provide two high-performance lifting net options, both designed to be lightweight and versatile:

Polyester Cargo Lifting Nets

Commonly used in aerial lift, marine, and construction industries, these nets are both durable and versatile:

• Industrial Polyester Webbing: 1-3/4" industrial polyester webbing offers superior UV-resistance and doesn't lose strength when wet.
• 4,500 lb. Working Load Limit.
• High Visibility Centering Straps: Orange alignment stripes assist with centering loads in low-visibility conditions.
• 6-1/4" Mesh Openings: Securely contain smaller cargo items during lift.
• Elongated Pear Hooks: Located at each corner for fast connection to cranes, hoists, and helicopters.
• Made in the USA: Manufactured for consistent quality and trusted performance.

Why Choose Polyester Over Nylon in Lifting Cargo Nets?

When comparing polyester and nylon cargo nets for lifting, polyester stands out in every key area:

• No Loss of Strength When Wet: Polyester maintains its integrity in damp or wet conditions.
• Reduced Stretch: 50% less elongation than nylon for more controlled lifting.
• Superior UV Resistance: Withstands long-term outdoor use without degrading.

Rope Cargo Lifting Nets

Rope cargo nets for lifting are ideal for for rigging crews, shipping yards, and construction sites.

• Durable Construction: Knotless HTPP fiber with nylon perimeter rope and reinforced corner loops
• Built to Last: UV-, moisture-, abrasion-, and chemical-resistant
• Handles the Heat: Maximum working temp of 212°F / 100°C makes it well-suited for a variety of applications.

Choosing the Right Hoisting Net

Here’s what to consider when selecting a cargo lifting net:

• Load Capacity: Always verify that the working load limit (WLL) is greater than the weight of your load.
• Mesh Size: For smaller items, choose a smaller mesh that won’t let the items fall through.
• Net Dimensions: Keep your typical load size in mind.

Safety, Maintenance & Storage

To ensure the safety and longevity of your lifting cargo net, follow these best practices:

• Inspect Regularly: Check for any signs of damage or wear, and follow industry safety guidelines for net replacement
• Clean After Use: Remove debris, dirt, and moisture to protect the integrity of your net
• Store Properly: Keep in a cool, dry location out of direct sunlight

Q: What is the weight capacity of rope cargo nets for lifting?

A: Each net has a defined working load limit. Always check the specs for your specific net and avoid overloading.

Q: What’s the difference between rope and web lifting nets?

A: Rope nets offer more flexibility, while webbing nets may offer broader surface coverage for your load.
