Safety Nets for Industrial Use

Industrial nets are available for a wide variety of applications and can be divided into four main categories depending on requirements:

• Personal safety nets protect workers when they are working in areas where there is a risk of falling. These include, for example, safety nets, side protection nets, fall arrest nets, and skylight nets.
• Nets for machine and object protection secure materials, machines, and goods. These include, among others, cover nets, shelf protection nets, conveyor belt safety nets, and nets for securing loads on vehicles and trailers. Depending on the application, tarps are also used as a supplement.
• Nets for agriculture and animal husbandry are used to protect animals and crops, as well as for feeding. Typical examples include bird protection nets, hay nets, and aviary nets.
• Other industrial nets for specialized applications include, among others, wire rope nets, load transport nets, windbreak nets, privacy and shading nets, leaf nets, snow fences, technical fabrics, as well as flame-retardant and vandal-proof nets.

Safetynet365 offers the right safety nets for all these applications—in numerous standard sizes or as custom-made products.

The correct size of the safety net depends on the specific application. To ensure safe installation, the net should completely cover the area to be protected and provide sufficient attachment points for ropes or other accessories. Many of our safety nets are available in standard sizes. If these do not meet your requirements, Safetynet365 also offers numerous custom-made net solutions.

Yes. Many industrial mesh products can be custom-manufactured to your desired dimensions. Depending on the product, the length, width, mesh size, and other characteristics can be customized. This is particularly useful for special installation situations or applications where standard sizes do not provide an optimal solution.

The material best suited for a safety net depends on the specific application and the loads it will be subjected to. Plastics such as polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE), or polyamide (PA) are frequently used, as they are characterized by high tear strength as well as UV and weather resistance. For applications involving particularly high mechanical stresses, stainless steel wire rope nets are a suitable solution. All industrial nets from Safetynet365 are manufactured from high-quality, durable, and 100% non-toxic materials.

The appropriate mesh size depends on the specific application. It should always be selected so that the smallest objects, materials, or animals that need to be secured cannot pass through the net. For safety-related applications, there may also be legal requirements or technical standards governing safety nets. We would be happy to assist you in selecting the appropriate mesh size.

Yes. Many industrial nets are designed for long-term outdoor use and are made of UV- and weather-resistant materials. They are suitable, for example, for use on construction sites, in agriculture, in the garden, or for securing loads, and reliably withstand sun, rain, snow, and temperature fluctuations.

The appropriate fastening method depends on the type of net, the surface, and the intended use. Depending on the application and the type of safety net, different fasteners are used to install the net securely and permanently. These include, among others:

• Ropes and tension cables for tensioning and securing the net
• Carabiner hooks for quick and flexible fastening
• Tension hooks and S-hooks for secure connection to support structures
• Cable ties for simple and cost-effective fastening
• Net holders and fastening clips for a neat and stable installation
• Eyelets, eye bolts, or wall mounts for anchoring to walls, ceilings, or steel structures

The right fastening solution depends on the load, the installation situation, and the specific application. Professional installation ensures that the safety net remains securely tensioned over the long term and reliably fulfills its protective function. You can also find the right installation accessories for a wide variety of applications at Safetynet365.

Whether an industrial net can be cut to size depends on the specific model. For simple net solutions, such as privacy screens or bird protection nets, cutting to size is generally possible. For nets intended to catch and secure people and goods, you should refrain from cutting them yourself, as the safety nets will otherwise lose their certification and approval for personal protection. If you need special dimensions, it is always recommended to have the safety net custom-made to fit precisely rather than cutting it yourself.

Industrial nets are easy to maintain and can be cleaned with water and a mild detergent as needed. In addition, you should regularly inspect the safety net, as well as the fasteners and attachment points, for wear or damage. In particular, safety nets used for personal protection or fall protection, or those installed permanently outdoors, should be inspected at regular intervals. This is the only way to ensure their protective function over the long term.
