Flatbed equipment cleanup shouldn’t be the hardest part of your feeding routine. But if you’re still stuffing net wrap into buckets, crates, or the cab floor, you know how fast the mess adds up. That’s exactly why more ranchers are turning to the Catch-All — a durable, American-assembled flatbed equipment solution designed to simplify cleanup during hay season.

 

What Is the Catch-All?

The Catch-All is a woven nylon net with a rubber coating, designed to hang securely alongside a cake feeder or flatbed. It installs in minutes using strong rubber-coated magnets and offers a designated place to toss in used net wrap, twine, or other feed trash as you go.

  • Fast install
  • Fits most flatbed equipment and feed trucks
  • No drilling or custom mounting
  • Assembled in the U.S.

 

It’s an upgrade that doesn’t require modification but still delivers a cleaner truck, faster cleanup, and fewer hassles.

 

Designed With Ranchers in Mind

Most flatbed equipment accessories aren’t made for the real-world conditions of ranch work. The Catch-All was designed by farmers and ranchers who were tired of dealing with loose net wrap blowing across the pasture — or piling up on the floorboard.

With the Catch-All:

  • No more stuffing feed sacks with loose net wrap
  • No more cleanouts after every feeding run
  • No more lost time picking up trash around your flatbed equipment

 

It’s a simple tool that solves a daily frustration.

And the beauty is in the simplicity. You don’t need special brackets or complicated installs. It’s as plug-and-play as a farm tool gets. You mount it, use it, and forget about it until it’s time to unload.

Built for the Elements

From frozen mornings to scorching afternoons, the Catch-All is made to withstand the elements. The netting is UV-resistant and coated to resist tearing, cracking, or stiffening in harsh weather.

Whether you’re feeding in January winds or mid-July heat, the Catch-All is built to last. That means you can leave it mounted all season long without worrying about wear or rot.

In high wind areas, this becomes even more essential. Net wrap and trash can quickly become a nuisance—blowing out of the bed, tangling in livestock, or spreading across your pasture. The Catch-All keeps everything secure and in one place, giving you a cleaner, safer flatbed equipment setup.

 

Smarter Than DIY

You might think a homemade bucket or feed sack setup will do the job. But the Catch-All goes a step further with:

  • A design that prevents overflow
  • A shape that holds its form even when full
  • Strong magnets that keep it secure over rough terrain

 

Plus, it just looks better. A clean flatbed says a lot about how you run your operation.

And it’s safer too. Loose net wrap in the truck bed can be a tripping hazard or catch on equipment. The Catch-All keeps your work area tidy and efficient, especially when using flatbed equipment daily.

 

What Can You Store in It?

While the Catch-All was made with hay bale netting in mind, ranchers have found other handy uses:

  • Feed sacks
  • Trash from the cab
  • Broken zip ties
  • Empty supplement tubs (smaller sizes)
  • Even gloves, ropes, and prods in the off-season

 

Some ranchers have even used it during fencing projects to collect clips and broken wire scraps. It’s one of those tools that finds more value the longer you use it.

Easy to Buy, Simple to Use

No complicated instructions. No special tools. Just attach it and go. AND it stays in place. The Catch-All ships ready to install and fits most standard cake boxes or flatbed equipment configurations.

It’s also lightweight, making it easy to remove, shake out, or relocate as needed. Whether you’re hauling feed in the morning or fencing in the afternoon, it adapts to your needs.

Tested in the Field

We don’t guess — we test. The Catch-All was put through its paces in rough pastures, muddy corrals, and icy feed routes before it ever hit the market. Ranchers who tried the prototype reported faster cleanup times, less frustration, and a cleaner cab.

Many even said they didn’t realize how much time they were wasting until they started using it. That’s the kind of practical, boots-on-the-ground feedback that drives 4AG product design for all flatbed equipment users.

Why It Matters

Every minute you save during feeding is a minute you can spend elsewhere. Whether that’s getting to the next pen faster, checking fences before dark, or just heading home sooner, the Catch-All helps you keep your operation running smoothly.

It’s not about bells and whistles. It’s about function.

Less cleanup.

Less downtime.

More done.
