Industrial Barrier Netting
As warehouses grow in size and space is at a premium, more companies are forced to maximize storage of products by using up available vertical space. Bulk stacking of products is becoming more common in the automotive and distribution industries.
Stacking products maximizes vertical space but presents a larger safety risk. Bulk stacking does not utilize storage racking, but is simply boxes stacked on top of boxes. Typically, these are stacked close to walkways or work areas. In the event that one of these stacks collapses or is knocked over by a forklift, the results can be catastrophic.
Engineered vertical barrier netting systems provide protection against this happening by creating a wall of netting along walkways or near workstations where employees are working. Systems are designed based on the total height of coverage, the weight of each box or pallet that is stacked, and the total length of coverage. Freestanding or floor-to-ceiling posts are designed and engineered for each specific application.

Netting Safety and Regulations in Canada
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
What if space is an issue in my facility?
For storage racks, we offer different lengths of offset brackets to allow our systems to fit in the tightest of spaces. Our extension brackets are also available from 1 ft up to 6 ft in height to add attitional storage space to the top of rakcs.
Is there an advantage to netting over wire mesh?
Our netting is designed to catch any fallen product or pallet without any damage to your racking. Wire mesh is typically connected directly to your racks and doesn’t have flexibility. Over time, as equipment or products hit against the wire, it can get damaged and put extra strain on your racking.
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.
When would I need a safety netting system?
Netting is used anytime a fall or falling object hazard may exist. It is used on racks to protect against falling objects, as well as along walkways and isles to protect workers. These systems are often used in the flu space between racks to protect the product itself from falling and being damaged. Safety netting has numerous applications depending on the facility, including barrier protection from stacked storage, upper-level mezzanine protection, and even truck netting fall protection. There are applications in every corner of your facility.
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.
Can the netting system be customized?
Yes, our netting systems are highly customizable to fit your specific dimensions and applications of your facility space. Liftsafe Fall Protection (LFP) has an in-house engineering team that consults with clients to develop customized systems.
What material is the netting made of, and is it durable?
Our netting is typically made of high-strength polyethylene or nylon material, ensuring durability and longevity. It’s designed to withstand object impact and provide reliable fall protection depending on the application. Our nets range in weight capacity depending on your application needs.
Is the netting compliant with safety regulations and standards?
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.
What maintenance is required for the netting system?
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.
