Horizontal Rack Safety Nets

Safety nets can be used in high-bay shelters for fall protection. The net is stretched horizontally within racking systems to protect people whose fall could not be prevented. The nets thus protect against injuries due to deeper fall. The requirements of these networks are described in Annex 2 of DGUV Rule 101-011. The net gets mounted with a steel cable of a minimum diameter of 6 mm, mounting accessories with sufficient tensile strength between the net and the steel cable (snap hooks or shackles) and a cable tensioner with a tensile force equal to the rope diameter.
