Wingrip can be used anywhere an aircraft is parked, inside or out on the apron.
All that is needed is a compressed air or nitrogen supply. The system is light to carry and is a one man operation.
It consists of a vacuum pad, vacuum module, vacuum hose, full harness, safety lanyard and work positioning rope.
The vacuum pad is compressed against the aircraft skin by atmospheric pressure and held in place due to the negative pressure beneath the pad.
The Wingrip system is powered by compressed air or nitrogen.
The Wingrip system is completely non-electrical, therefore the requirements for long electrical cables, mobile generators and
a battery charging system are not required.
The Wingrip system is safe and utilizes a non-electrical operation that is absolutely safe in all environments.
The Wingrip pads can be used singly on the wings or fuselage or connected in series to cover a full wing span.
In the event of a failure of the air/nitrogen supply an audible warning alarm will sound and the Wingrip pads
will maintain a safe working vacuum for a minimum of 20 minutes.
Using the work positioning rope attachment the worker is given a working area of approx. 3 m x 3 m.
The work positioning rope is ideal for working on the trailing edge of the wing where the materials used
do not suit the placement of a vacuum pad.
