Industrial Netting Inc., Minneapolis, is now offering what it calls a “reliable solution to meet revised Association of American Railroads (AAR) loading rules for open top railcars.”
The revised rules require that loose scrap metal be secured to prevent displacement in transit. The company’s CarGoNet product is designed to be used with top-loading gondola cars to help meet the new rules.
“Narrower versions of this product have enjoyed widespread use as an effective, economical method to contain small, loose debris during the transportation of crushed cars in compliance with Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration’s (FMCSA) Cargo Containment Regulation 392.132,” says the company in a news release.
Industrial Netting says the CarGoNet product offers several advantages, including:
-
It is easy to apply
-
It is designed to cover the full width of the car in a single pass
-
It is disposable, being made from polypropylene that can be incinerated in the mill furnace.
Those interested in finding out more about the product can contact Industrial Netting Inc. through its Web site at www.industrialnetting.com/recycling.html.
