Truck Netting Systems
Falls from flatbed trucks during loading and unloading operations continue to increase, often due to insufficient fall protection equipment and limited safety training within the industry. That’s why Factory Supply has developed advanced Flatbed Safety Solutions to protect your employees while they work on or around flatbed trucks.
Our Truck Netting Systems attach directly to flatbeds entering your facility, providing a reliable fall protection barrier for both employees and third-party drivers. These systems create a “soft catch” safety net that protects workers during loading and unloading, and are designed to mount directly to your facility’s floor or wall. With seven modular flatbed safety configurations, our systems adapt to your specific layout to reduce fall risks and minimize the need for additional training or PPE.
All standard systems can be adjusted to meet your facility’s size, weight, and load requirements, and fully customized to match your operational needs. Working closely with our in-house engineers and fall prevention specialists, we design and deliver systems that meet the highest safety standards. Our experienced netting experts can assess your facility layout and recommend the best fall protection solution for your environment.
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
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 additional storage space to the top of racks.
What if I need coverage above my existing rack frame?
We offer rack extensions that incorporate our offset bracket so that you can add height to your rack frames and protect your highest pallets.
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.
What if I need protection on the side of my rack, or underneath the bays?
We offer complete rack netting systems to protect the back and sides of your rack, as well as horizontal netting to protect tunnel bays or pic modules.
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 to fit specific rack dimensions?
Yes, our netting systems are highly customizable to fit your specific dimensions and applications of your facility space. We offer tailored solutions to ensure optimal fit and protection.
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?
Yes, 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.
How does the installation process work?
Yes, our netting systems are designed and tested to meet or exceed relevant safety regulations and standards, such as OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) requirements.
What maintenance is required for the netting system?
Our netting systems come with comprehensive installation instructions and support. We also offer installation services if needed, ensuring a hassle-free setup process.
