Safety Net Catch Fan

Key Features & Benefits

The HERMEQ Safety Net Catch Fan is a purpose-designed fall arrest and debris containment system built for the demands of high-rise and urban construction environments. Installed directly on slabs, scaffolding, or walls, it creates a dependable protective zone for personnel and the public below active working areas.

Designed with versatility in mind, the fan is fully foldable for crane clearance and quick setup. Its fine-mesh overlay captures even small objects, reducing risk and improving overall site safety. With no need for crane assistance, it allows rapid deployment and repositioning between work zones.

• Lightweight and compact build makes installation easy—no crane required on site.
• 3-metre cantilever provides wide coverage zone, catching tools, debris and preventing bounce-outs.
• Dual-layer mesh net—60×60 mm base with 20×20 mm fine mesh overlay—captures small items safely.
• Multiple mount options: slab fix, scaffold fix, wall fix, or soffit fix depending on site conditions.
• Fold-up mechanism enables quick stowage, allowing clear access for cranes or material delivery.

Product information

Constructed from hot-dip galvanised steel or aluminium, the HERMEQ Safety Net Catch Fan delivers robust, corrosion-resistant performance. This fall protection solution suits the evolving needs of UK construction sites, particularly in high-rise, inner-city, or refurbishment projects where pedestrian safety and falling object control are critical.

By integrating with scaffold or slab-edge systems using reusable anchors, installation is efficient and non-intrusive. It eliminates the need for cranes and minimises downtime by enabling fast movement between floors. This system is designed to address the operational pain point of managing edge-related risks without slowing progress or adding unnecessary weight to the structure.

The Safety Catch Fan is available in two sizes—6000 x 3000 mm or 4000 x 3000 mm. The net system complies with EN 1263 safety standards and provides a combined mesh structure for enhanced containment. 

Popular uses and applications

• High-rise building sites with exposed edges
• Urban developments near pedestrian walkways
• Bridge construction where materials risk falling below
• Projects with crane access requirements—fan folds for clearance
  
  

Construction Zones with Overhead Risk
Projects involving elevated platforms, scaffolding, or slab edges can deploy the catch fan to minimise the risk of falling objects. The integrated fine mesh not only reduces object velocity but also retains small tools and loose debris that traditional nets might miss.

Adaptability in Confined Sites
With its ability to be folded vertically towards the structure, this fan system is ideal for inner-city sites or areas where access paths and lifting zones intersect. Avoid disruption by quickly securing the fan when not in use.

Edge Compliance and Personnel Safety
The fan helps meet HSE expectations for fall containment. Should a worker fall from the leading edge, the fan system provides secondary protection alongside primary fall arrest systems. It also serves as a practical solution for rescue coordination zones.

Use with HERMEQ’s slab fix or scaffold brackets for fast, tool-free relocation across active zones—minimising downtime while maintaining safety performance.
