1. What does 'SWL' mean and how do I choose the right capacity for my cargo?
SWL stands for Safe Working Load, which is the maximum mass that the lifting net is certified to hoist when properly deployed. You should choose an SWL rating that is greater than the heaviest cargo you intend to lift to ensure a safe margin.
2. Are these cargo lifting nets suitable for irregularly shaped or loose cargo?
Yes, these are flat hoisting nets designed specifically to be highly adaptable. The flexible mesh allows the lifting net to drape over and gather around loads of various shapes and sizesβsuch as large bundles or non-palletized equipmentβensuring the weight is distributed evenly during the lift.
3. What material is the net made from? Is this a durable heavy duty cargo net for lifting?
The net is constructed from high-strength, knotted Staple Spun Rope. This material is known for its high tensile strength and durability, making these nets extremely strong and resistant to wear and tear in rugged environments, including use on dockyards and construction sites.
4. Can I order a custom size or specific SWL for my hoist net needs?
Yes. We specialize in custom netting solutions. If your project requires a specific dimension or a unique SWL rating, please contact us directly for a custom quote on your bespoke lifting nets.
5. Who is responsible for using these lifting nets safely?
Lifting nets and hoist nets should only be used by competent, trained personnel. The user is responsible for ensuring the load does not exceed the net's stated SWL, that the net is rigged correctly to distribute the load evenly, and that it is regularly inspected for any wear or damage before each use.
