NEW Wing Walker — Wireless Collision Avoidance System (G1 / G4 / G6 / G8 Kits)

Aircraft ground damage costs the industry an estimated $5 billion a year, and IATA projects that figure could nearly double to $10 billion by 2035 without preventive action. Behind the money is a human toll: the Flight Safety Foundation counts roughly 27,000 ramp accidents a year — about one for every 1,000 departures — and some 243,000 injuries. Pushback is where much of it happens. The wing walker sees the wingtip closing on a jet bridge, a gate, or ground equipment — but by the time a shout or a hand signal reaches the tug operator through engine noise and blind spots, the distance is already gone.

The new Wing Walker builds on the Wing Walker G system with updated software programming, and it now comes in four kit sizes so operations can match the number of transmitting wands to their crew. The moment a wing walker presses the warning button on a transmitting wand, the tug operator is alerted two ways at once: an alarm pager sounding 110 dB (measured at 20 cm) and a signal-activated vehicle strobe in blue or amber.

Choose the G1 kit for two transmitting wands plus two red night batons, or scale up with the G4, G6, or G8 kits carrying four, six, or eight transmitting wands. Every kit includes the alarm pager, vehicle strobe, charging station, and power adapter. The system carries FCC and CE radio certification. Expected availability: December 2026.
