Free Standing Flatbed Truck Netting
Designed to eliminate fall protection concerns while maximizing space, our Free Standing Truck Netting Systems are ideal for facilities with multi-use bays or for situations where customers prefer not to connect directly to the flatbed.
This simple yet effective design combines safety with functionality. It can be operated by a single user and provides a soft-catch barrier between personnel and the ground. The system is engineered to open or close easily, with no additional setup required for the netting panel.
Arms fold out from the fixed columns and butt up against the side of the flatbed—no direct connection required. Our truck netting solutions require no training to operate and eliminate the need for harnesses, lifeline systems, or overhead cranes, making them a safe and convenient choice for any facility.
Our netting panels are treated to meet NFPA 701 standards for fire-retardancy and have been tested and rated in accordance with ANSI A10.11 and OSHA safety standards. This includes the complete system with all of the hardware installed onto a racking system and tests made to simulate a real-case product falls.
To ensure compliance with regulations, we advise following safety net installation standards. This includes obtaining certification from qualified installers or engineers, conducting testing procedures, maintaining thorough records, and providing worker training.
A comprehensive fall protection plan must consider work nature, site or facility conditions, load capacity, and manufacturer specifications. Proper installation, maintenance, and regular inspection are critical for compliance and effectiveness.
Accumulated debris can compromise the functionality of safety nets and create hazards. Work operations should pause promptly to remove debris or any fallen objects to maintain optimal net performance.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Passive vs Active fall protection?
Passive fall protection does NOT require any action by people. Examples include: Guardrails, Safety Nets, etc. Active fall protection requires training and direct connection to an engineered fall protection system or anchor point. Examples include: Body Harnesses and Lanyards, Anchor Points, etc.
What are the regulations i need to know?
OSHA 12.10 (1.1), every employer shall provide a fall-protection system to any person, other than an employee who is installing or removing a fall-protection system in accordance with the instructions referred to in subsection (5), who works: (a) from an unguarded structure or on a vehicle, at a height of more than 2.4 m above the nearest permanent safe level; (b) from a temporary structure at a height of more than 6 m above a permanent safe level.
ANSI A10.11 All nets supplied are manufactured and tested in accordance with Industry Standards, and all such netting has been tested to strict ANSI standards as laid out in ANSI A10.11. This includes the complete system with all hardware installed onto a racking system and tests made to simulate a real-case product fall.
Is this something I could install on my own?
Yes, all of our systems include a user manual, custom drawing, and detailed installation instructions. If needed, we offer installation services.
Untested and/or self-fabricated remedies are risky. You are responsible for any accidents relating to the failure of hardware and installation. Incorrect installation could result in a system that does not provide the protection you require.
When would I need truck netting?
Netting is used anytime a fall hazard may exist. It is used to protect workers when performing a job on or around a parked flatbed truck.
What do I need to provide to get a quote?
Get in touch with our netting sales reps, and they can provide you with a Quote Request Form that is easy to fill out. The form asks for information such as the width of your bays, the height of your rack frames, and the weight of the pallets you are looking to protect.
Things to consider
The amount of space available beside the “typical” trailer location when loading/tarping/etc.
The further away from the trailer you can position the posts, the lower the posts have to be.
Overhead cranes. Do they load from the side, the end or both? If from the side, how high can the posts be without interfering with the loading process?
Connection to the trailer – the standard system requires attachment directly to the trailer while the pivot system does not.
Forklift loading from the side – is this done at all? If so, the trailer safety nets will not work.
