What is the capacity of the 10K cargo net?

• A. 5,000 lbs
• B. 15,000 lbs
• C. 10,000 lbs
• D. 20,000 lbs

Answer: (C)

A 10K cargo net is rated to 10,000 pounds. The “10K” label directly indicates its safe working load limit, so the capacity you plan for under standard rigging is 10,000 pounds. The other numbers correspond to nets with different ratings, which is why they don’t apply to a 10K net. In practice, always stay within the rated capacity and consider factors that can reduce effective capacity, such as lift angle, distribution of load, and edge protection.
