WinGrip® Barrier Collective Fall Protection System

The WinGrip Barrier provides collective fall protection for aircraft maintenance by creating a temporary guardrail around elevated work areas. Instead of protecting individual technicians with personal fall protection equipment, the system establishes a protected working perimeter, allowing personnel to carry out maintenance activities freely within the enclosed area.

Designed for aircraft maintenance where collective protection is preferred, the WinGrip Barrier uses MSA’s proven vacuum anchorage technology to create a secure temporary guardrail without requiring permanent installation or modifications to the aircraft. The system can be deployed wherever maintenance is taking place, making it ideal for changing work locations in hangars and manufacturing facilities.

By providing continuous edge protection around the work area, the WinGrip® Barrier helps maintenance teams move efficiently without the need to connect and disconnect personal fall protection equipment as tasks progress. This can improve productivity while supporting a safer and more comfortable working environment for technicians performing inspections, assembly, repairs and scheduled maintenance.

Suitable for airlines, maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) organisations, aircraft manufacturers and defence operators, the system can be adapted to a wide range of commercial, business and military aircraft. Its modular design allows the protected area to be configured according to the aircraft geometry and maintenance activity.

The WinGrip Barrier complements the wider WinGrip portfolio, enabling organisations to choose the most appropriate level of protection for each maintenance task—whether collective protection through temporary guardrails or personal fall protection using the WinGrip®A1X or Multi-User systems.
