Distributing the load evenly across all four lifting points is essential when lifting cargo nets. The recommended pattern uses a diagonal-cross sequence: start at a corner, lift to the diagonally opposite corner, then move to one of the remaining corners, and finish with the last corner. This approach keeps the net draped flat and balanced as it rises, reducing the chances of tilting, snagging, or uneven tension on the net. Using a simple front-to-back or side-to-side order tends to pull one side first, making the lift unstable. So, the diagonal-cross pattern is used to ensure a stable, even lift for cargo nets.
