Which net size has a maximum capacity of 10,000 pounds?

• A. 15' x 15'
• B. 18' x 18'
• C. 12' x 12'
• D. 20' x 20'

Answer: (B)

Net size and its rated load capacity are linked in sling load work. The load rating comes from the net’s construction and attachment points, and standard practice charts assign specific capacities to each common net size. The 18 by 18-foot cargo net is the size associated with a 10,000-pound maximum capacity. That means when you see a net that measures 18' x 18', its rated load is 10,000 lb, making it the match for a 10,000-lb requirement. Smaller nets like 12' x 12' or 15' x 15' are rated lower, while the largest common size, 20' x 20', is rated higher.
