Portable Truck Netting Systems

Falls off of flatbed trucks during loading and unloading operations are on the rise due in part to irregular materials such as steel, pipe, timber, unbalanced loads, and a lack of knowledge regarding fall protection safety within the industry.

Our Portable Truck Net Systems are designed to be used in areas where companies do not want to pour footings or permanently secure posts in place. Originally developed for outdoor use as a “tarping” or “load securement” station, these systems can be placed anywhere that there is a flat, level surface. If you decide to move the system 6 months down the road, all you need is a standard forklift. Bases have fork pockets built in. When delivered empty (with rebar and anchors already welded in place), simply fill with concrete to achieve the desired weight.

Pivoting Portable Truck Netting System

The Pivoting Portable Truck Netting System is built with a compression arm that can pivot to rest directly against your flatbed truck. It is ideal for facilities that have multiple use bays or where customers do not want to connect directly to the flatbed. The compression arms swing out from the columns and butt up against the side of the flatbed to create a fall protection solution that is quick and easy to set up. This system is engineered with non-permanent weighted bases and fixed columns that can be moved if necessary. Bases have fork pocket holes to assist in moving and are typically used in applications where mounted posts are not feasible. All components can be taken apart if needed.

Fixed Base Portable Truck Netting System

The Fixed Base Portable Truck Netting System includes weighted bases with fixed vertical columns that can be moved and used in multiple locations. Ideal for outdoor applications, this non-permanent system solves pavement mounting limitations with fork pocket bases for moving. The netting is attached with wire rope and custom brackets that attach to the stake pockets of the flatbed trailer. These systems are typically used in applications where pouring the footings to mount permanent posts is not possible. Take advantage of this highly beneficial safety system that protects employees while taking up very little space in your facility.

Netting Safety and Regulations in Canada

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.

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.

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.

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.

Get in touch with our 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.

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.
