Flexibility and Versatility to Satisfy Your Aerospace Fall Protection System Needs

The MSA WinGrip® system, a vacuum anchor fall protection solution for aircraft maintenance and manufacturing, can be fixed to wings, fuselage or stabilisers, eliminating the need for an overhead lifeline. Suitable for both fall restraint and fall arrest, WinGrip can span the length of any aircraft wing and allows access for up to four workers without ever disconnecting. In case a fall should happen, energy is absorbed by the anchor, minimising load placed back to the aircraft.
