Conveyor Netting

Factory Supply offers custom conveyor guard netting systems tailored to your facilities operational needs. Aerial Conveyor safety has been an increasing concern in America, as it forces companies to create safe working environments without compromising efficiency and productivity.
Traditionally, the four main imminent concerns with Overhead Conveyor Systems include: 
Our systems have been engineered to address and eliminate all of these concerns. Our Conveyor Netting Systems utilize high strength, fire-resistant 1” mesh netting panels, combined with wire rope to secure any product falls with a “soft catch” solution. This means that not only will your employees be protected below from falls, your products will not be damaged either.
Implementing proper conveyor netting systems will result in an immediate increase in safety throughout your facility. Our soft-catch netting systems can be customized to every conveyor set-up using various net types that won’t rust, peel, rot or dent like metal containment systems. Conveyor Netting Systems are tailored to your facilities operational needs, installed in a manner which does not obstruct workflow or equipment, and rated for your products capacity specifically. Rely on our netting experts to provide you with a fast quote that accurately reflects the fall protection needs of your space.

Why soft catch netting?

Our netting is a soft catch product that absorbs energy as an object falls into it. The system disperses energy from impact point to guard frame, cable, and attachment points. Unlike rigid barriers, our nets are allowed to flex at impact, dissipating energy, and providing less excess force to the netting system itself, keeping your personnel and materials safe.

We meet all your custom project needs from start to finish. Our in-house engineering team will ensure quick sign-off on all custom orders and testing while meeting the exact specifications required for your equipment.
