MSA Safety
Aircraft Maintenance Fall Protection
Aircraft maintenance fall protection using portable anchorage systems for airlines, MROs and aircraft manufacturers. WinGrip® enables safe work at height where permanent fall protection is impractical or unavailable.
Aircraft maintenance presents unique challenges for working safely at height. From aircraft wings and fuselage to tail sections and elevated access platforms, maintenance teams often require temporary fall protection that adapts to different aircraft types, changing hangar layouts and outdoor maintenance operations.
MSA Safety develops engineered fall protection solutions specifically for these demanding environments. The WinGrip family of portable vacuum anchor systems provides secure anchorage without requiring permanent installation, helping organisations improve safety while maintaining operational flexibility.
Trusted by airlines, maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) organisations, aircraft manufacturers and defence operators worldwide, WinGrip systems support manufacturing and maintenance activities across a wide range of commercial and military aircraft.
The WinGrip Family
The WinGrip portfolio includes solutions designed to meet different aircraft maintenance requirements:
- WinGrip® A1X – A lightweight, portable vacuum anchor for rapid deployment and single-user applications.
- WinGrip® Multi-User – A scalable system supporting multiple technicians during maintenance and assembly tasks on larger aircraft.
- WinGrip® Barrier – A portable barrier solution for establishing safe exclusion zones around maintenance or production activities.
Whether maintenance is performed in a hangar, on the apron or at a manufacturing facility, WinGrip systems provide a flexible solution where permanent overhead systems may be impractical, unavailable or unable to accommodate changing work locations.
