WinGrip® A1X Portable Vacuum Anchor

The WinGrip® A1X provides a portable anchorage solution for aircraft maintenance where permanent fall protection systems are impractical, unavailable or unable to accommodate changing work locations. Designed for rapid deployment and maximum operational flexibility, it enables technicians to establish a secure anchorage point in less than one minute and easily move between maintenance tasks or aircraft.

Its compact, lightweight design allows maintenance teams to transport the system with ease and deploy it across a wide range of commercial aircraft, business jets and military platforms. Whether supporting line maintenance, aircraft inspections, component replacement or manufacturing operations, the WinGrip® A1X adapts to changing maintenance environments without requiring permanent installation.

The A1X is particularly suited to maintenance activities on aircraft wings, fuselage and tail sections, where technicians need a temporary anchorage solution that can be repositioned as work progresses. By eliminating the need for fixed infrastructure, it provides a practical solution for hangars, production facilities and apron environments where flexibility is essential.

Trusted by airlines, maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) organisations, aircraft manufacturers and defence operators, the WinGrip® A1X helps improve operational efficiency while supporting safe maintenance practices across diverse aircraft fleets.
