Offshore Industry Symbol.
The Billy Pugh personnel net has become the industry standard all over the world. It has saved and protected millions of riders over the years.
Need the Room?
X-800 is designed for offshore operations that need a “small footprint” for their personnel basket.
60 Years and Running.
Others have tried to reproduce the X-800, but still can’t reproduce the quality that is Billy Pugh Company.
Many years ago in the infancy of the offshore industry, people were transported to and from offshore rigs and platforms with the use of a cargo net. Personnel would hang on to the outside of the net and be moved from boat to rig. Billy Pugh figured out quickly that this was a formula for some serious accidents. A new device was then designed by Billy Pugh as a safe transfer system that allowed personnel to embark and disembark quickly and safely. The Billy Pugh Personnel Transfer Net allowed workers to have the sensation of being inside the device, but also allows the freedom to get off and away from danger when in rough sea conditions.
The Billy Pugh personnel net became the industry standard all over the world. It has saved and protected millions of riders over the years and is a symbol of the offshore industry. Many a new offshore employee remembers his or her first ride on a personnel transfer net; it is almost a rite of passage. There have been many attempts to improve or even replace the personnel net but the basic idea and design is still in use around the world.
The X-800 is valid for 2 years from the In Service Date which is the date the device is removed from its packaging.

- There is no good ergonomic way to pick up luggage from an X-800 series basket without either bending at the waist or getting inside the basket. In either case, this is a potential for an injury.
- The X-800 series baskets have open “doors” for personnel to stand in. During rough seas/windy transfers, the basket can swing and luggage can fall out on to personnel below. This has happened before and an injury resulted from luggage striking the deck hand below. The X-900 series is designed for light luggage but this is a different system .
How often should the X-800 be replaced?
Why would I purchase an X-840 (as opposed to another net in the 800 series)? What’s the benefit?
Why would I purchase an X-816 (as opposed to another net in the 800 series)?
The X-816 is for operations that need a shorter stabilizer and load line assembly. This would be someone with a shorter boom unable to get a normal sized personnel net over the rail. The load line on an X-816 is 9 ft. shorter than a standard X-871.
