Extra Large Industrial Cargo Net goes to Refinery
(0) Extra Large Industrial Cargo Net goes to Refinery
Lift-It Manufacturing, a leading supplier of slings and rigging, has once again achieved a production milestone, supplying its largest cargo net to date. Lift-It’s latest and largest cargo net. Previously, the company’s largest heavy-duty cargo nets measured 25 feet by 25 feet, and were used to lift a 50,000-pound artifact in the Hawaiian Islands. More recently, a refinery in Trinidad and Tobago presented Lift-It’s experts with an even more substantial challenge: a 34-foot by 34-foot Barrier Net which, when completed, included 29 pounds of thread!
