Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Which Loading Dock Safety Net System is right for me?

When choosing a Loading Dock Safety Net there are a few important factors to keep in mind:

  1. Measure your loading dock door from rail to rail. Select the closest size to your measurements. Each net has 18 inches of fastening strap to allow for variances in door sizes.
  2. Decide which mounting system is best suited to your application. Watch our comparison video below.

Q: How easy is the purchase process?

Unlike our competitors, our product does not require a consultation, blueprint requisition, or on-site evaluation before purchase. Other companies won't even list the cost of these services, let alone the cost of their products.

You can securely order all of our standard Loading Dock Safety Nets and Warehouse Barrier Net Systems online only a click away.

We invented the product, we make the product, we can customize it to your needs.

Q: What safety regulations do Loading Dock Safety Nets meet?

According to OSHA in 2014, out of the top ten most common safety violations:

  • #1 was fall safety (OSHA 1926.50)
  • #5 was forklift or powered industrial trucks (OSHA 1910.178)

OSHA 29 CFR 1910.23 "Guarding floor and wall openings and holes" requires fall protection from elevations of 4 feet in general industry workplaces. Our product meets the 42 inch height requirement and multi-directional 200lb load resistance on anchoring points.

Q: What maintenance is required?

Loading dock safety nets require little to no maintenance after installation. Unlike metal chains, cross arms, or standard metal forklift barriers, our product can flex upon impact, absorbing and distributing force across the net.

Our stitching uses the same thread and pattern we use on military, defense, and aerospace contracts. Still, after any forklift impact, inspect every stitch for damage.

Q: How easy are Loading Dock Safety Nets to install?

Most installations can be completed with one person in about an hour. Common installation preparation includes:

  1. Measuring, marking, and drilling holes for your mounting system
  2. Place and fasten your mounting system
  3. Attach your net and snug the adjustable straps evenly on both sides

View our installation guide for detailed instructions.

Q: What tools or hardware are needed for install?

We supply you with everything you need to install our net systems except the measuring tape and drill! We even throw in a marker so you can mark your measurements.

Each net comes equipped with hooks and buckles on all 8 adjustable fastening straps. We include the drill bit needed to drill into concrete and heavy duty anchor bolts. For in-ground post models, we also include cement bags.
