Tednologies Developes New Cargo Nets

Alaska company develops new light weight cargo nets for Beechcraft 1900 aircraft

ANCHORAGE, AK-(Dec. 23, 2009)--My friends at Tednologies, Inc. have created something new for the air cargo industry—a barrier net that does not wear out. No not the Internet or computers linked together, but a cargo barrier net for the Beechcraft 1900 and 1900 C aircraft. 

“This cargo net costs less, and lasts longer than other barrier nets on the market,” said Ian Wilson, marketing director at Tednologies.

The idea for the net improvement, came from Don Harman when he was repairing nets used by Frontier Alaska.

“These nets are not durable enough and I thought to myself, ‘I can make a better net than this.’ So I did,” said Harman.

After two-years of working with the local Anchorage MIDO (manufacturing inspection district office) Tednologies received a PMA (parts manufacturing approval) license to produce the cargo barrier nets for the 1900 and 1900 C Beechcraft.

“The nets actually will last three-times longer than anything else on the market today,” said Wilson.

The nets are important to the Alaska cargo industry as many of the Beechcraft 1900s and 1900 Cs are carrying both passengers and cargo under FAR Part 135. The spider web looking nets shaped to fit inside the fuselage act as a barrier, or bulkhead.

The Tednologies cargo nets are now available with no lead time and can be shipped for next day delivery.

Harman is in production sewing the nets to fill an order from a local airline while Santa Claus is delivering presents this week.
