What is the weight of the 10,000 Lb cargo net?

• A. 90 lbs
• B. 96 lbs
• C. 100 lbs
• D. 110 lbs

Answer: (B)

Tare weight matters: the cargo net’s own empty weight is separate from the load it can carry. A 10,000-lb rated net is designed to hold up to 10,000 pounds, but the net itself weighs a fixed amount. For the standard 10,000-lb cargo net used in many air assault applications, that empty weight is about 96 pounds. This tare weight comes from the heavy-duty webbing and hardware used to construct the net, and it’s the figure you’d add when calculating total weight of the net plus its cargo. So 96 pounds is the correct value for the net’s own weight. The other options don’t align with the typical tare spec for this equipment.
