- Vacuum Pad Fall Restraint System

Lifeline Installation

Assembly stages
Uniquely the Wingrip system can be used in series to provide safe access
along the full extent of the wing. Legislation governing initial access and
procedures for installation are controlled by both the countries in which the
operators work and the individual operators’ method statements. The Wingrip system allows you to accommodate whichever procedure you have to follow.

Wing access.
Depending on the legislation and preferred access method, installation of
the first pad can be via the over-wing door or a cherry picker.

End wing anchor pads.
The end wing anchor pads are placed at either end of the wing,
starting with the pad nearest the door/cherry picker depending on local
installation guidelines.

Intermediate pads.
The intermediate pads are spaced up to 6 m apart, and fixed to the wing
by connecting the vacuum hose from pad to pad and then pressurized by
the light-weight pump that can be kept within easy reach on the wing.
Stringing the system.
To complete the installation a coated stainless steel cable is threaded
between the pads and tensioned at one end.

Multiple Use.
The system is ready for use by up to four people.
