Truck Netting Systems
Falls off of flatbed trucks during loading and unloading operations are on the rise, with a lack of fall protection safety knowledge and equipment within the industry being a major contributing factor.
That’s why we’ve developed only the best solutions for protecting your employees while working on flatbed trucks.
Our Truck Netting Systems (Flatbed Safety Solutions) attach to flatbeds that come in and out of your facility to ensure that your employees and third party drivers have the necessary fall protection to prevent serious injuries. Our systems create a “soft catch” barrier to safeguard workers while they load and unload products and are designed to mount directly to your facility’s floor or wall. Our seven modular flatbed solutions are built to fit the specific layout of your facility and reduce the risk of falls from flatbeds. These solutions are designed to minimize fall protection problems as well as the need for further training or personal protective equipment (PPE).
All of our Flatbed Safety Solutions can be adjusted depending on the size, weight and load requirements of your facility and customized to fit your equipment needs. We work with our in-house professional engineers and fall prevention experts to construct a system that ensures the safety of your workers. The best safety system for your facility can be determined by our experienced netting specialists. We will review your facility layout and application requirements to recommend the best solution.
We have designed versatile mounted systems that are an ideal safety solution for facilities with multiple use bays or areas with limited space. Depending on the orientation of the column, our mounting brackets will surround the column for optimal support. The system has been engineered to open or close easily, with no additional setup required for the netting panel. All of our systems and custom drawings can be stamped with engineer approval.

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.
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.
Components
- 3 columns (6-inch x 6-inch)
- Column base (4 ft x 4 ft x 2.5 ft)

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.

Designed to eliminate fall protection concerns, while maximizing space; our Free Standing Truck Netting Systems are ideal for facilities that have multiple use bays, or where customers do not want to connect directly to the flatbed. This simplistic design combines safety with functionality, as it can be operated by a single user and provides a soft-catch barrier between personnel and the ground. Our Truck Netting System has been 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. Our truck netting solutions require no training to operate and eliminate the need for the use of harnesses, lifeline systems, or overhead cranes.

The Wall Mounted Truck Netting System, also known as our “Fill in the Gap System,” protects small gaps between the shop floor and trailer bed in recessed bay applications where a post and net system is not suitable. The nets are attached to the facility wall by cable or a flat bar/pad eye setup. The net then hangs from the attachment hardware and is attached to the trailer with stake pockets when a flatbed is in place. Recessed bay applications can be particularly dangerous to workers, and our system ensures that all facility areas are protected.
Components
- Snap hooks for every 2 ft
- Stake pockets every 2 ft
- 1 net panel
- Flat bar along length of bay

Netting Safety and Regulations
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.

Passive Vs Active Fall Protection
Passive Fall Protection
A “passive” fall protection system refers to a system that is non-dynamic, stationary, and does not move or adapt or change when in or out of use. They do not require the use of Personal Protective Equipment or active participation from the worker. Typical passive solutions include Guardrails or Netting Systems. This is the preferred choice for its ease of use without the need for additional training and PPE.
Active Fall Protection
An “active” Fall Protection System requires the use of special equipment and participation by the worker. There are two types of Active Fall Protection Systems, fall restraint and fall arrest systems. These systems share the common feature of securing the worker wearing a full-body harness to an anchorage point with some type of connecting system, depending on the application. Active Fall Protection Systems include Fall Arrest Anchors, Roof Anchors, and Safety Harness’.
