Plastic Containment Netting for Tow Operators Offers Easy-to-Use Solution for Safety Regulation Compliance

Towing services and tow truck operators (as well as scrap metal dealers, auto crushers and recyclers, metal shredders, salvage yards and many others) are required to comply with Cargo Containment Regulation FMCSR 393.132 from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, which calls for the prevention of loose parts falling from damaged or wrecked automobiles during transport. Car-Go-Net^® containment netting from Industrial Netting is ideally suited to comply with these requirements, reducing the risk of road hazards caused by falling debris.

For the towing industry in particular, having a containment solution that is strong and effective while also being lightweight and easily handled by one person is at a premium. Used as a disposable plastic mesh tarp, we offer several configurations to choose from that will meet virtually any need.  For example, one configuration of our 3/4″ mesh is folded over itself on a 3″ core to create a compact 30-pound package measuring just 87″ X 10″ X 10″.  This unique “z-folded” configuration easily unwinds to its full 17-ft width while still being convenient and easy to use for the solo operator.

Whether installing horizontally where the material will cover the top and drape over the sides of the automobile, or using a vertical configuration where the material is wrapped around the circumference in a “pallet wrap” style, our netting can be easily utilized to fit most any situation.

An extruded polypropylene (plastic) grid, the integral joint structure keeps the openings from expanding and the fused joints won’t pull apart like knitted “hay bale” nets, which means you’ll get maximum strength and containment capabilities while still enjoying a lightweight, affordable product. It is also easily identified by its orange color, which aids in visibility for law enforcement.
