Product Details

NLG AirPark

Tool holder that clips onto any 45mm to 50mm webbing or padded belt, providing a secure docking point for drills, chainsaws, and large tools at height when both hands are needed for the task. The non-gated design allows the tool to be retrieved with a single hand movement, with no gate or catch to operate. The shaped hook end keeps the tool in position while docked, and the unique belt locking system holds the AirPark at the exact position on the belt where it was placed. The docked tool must always be independently tethered to an anchor point via a rated lanyard.

How the Non-Gated Design Makes Tool Retrieval Faster at Height

A gated tool holster requires the worker to open a gate or release a catch before the tool can be retrieved. At height, that means using both hands at the moment of retrieval, creating a brief period where the worker's grip on the structure is reduced. The AirPark removes that step entirely. The open body of the clip allows the tool to be lifted clear with one hand in a single movement. The hook end at the base retains the tool securely while docked but releases it without resistance when retrieved.

Key Features

Non-gated docking: The open body design means no gate, catch, or clip must be operated to retrieve the tool. The tool is docked and retrieved with one hand at any point during the shift.

Unique hook end: The shaped return at the base of the AirPark body prevents the docked tool from slipping out during movement, leaning, or repositioning at height. The tool stays docked until deliberately lifted clear.

Unique belt locking system: The locking mechanism in the belt slot prevents the AirPark from migrating along the webbing or padded belt, keeping the clip at the position chosen when setting up.

10kg static load capacity: Rated to hold drills, chainsaws, and other large tools up to 10kg under static load. This is a static rating, not a dynamic or drop-arrest rating.

Universal belt fit: Fits 45mm to 50mm webbing and padded belts, covering the majority of standard harness waist belts and tool belts without modification.

Important: The AirPark is a tool holder, not a tether attachment. Every tool docked in the AirPark must also be independently connected to an anchor point via a rated tool lanyard. Tools over 3kg require connection to a structural anchor point.

Who Is This For

The AirPark is used by workers who need somewhere to put a heavy power tool while both hands are occupied at height. An electrician fitting a consumer unit who needs to set down a drill for a moment, an arborist who needs both hands on the rope while repositioning with a chainsaw, or a rope access technician switching between tasks with a heavy tool all have the same problem: a heavy tool and no surface to set it on. The AirPark provides a body-mounted docking point that holds the tool securely while remaining immediately accessible when needed. It works alongside a tool tethering system, it does not replace one.

Typical Applications

Docking a cordless drill while both hands are used to position fixings, align panels, or apply pressure during installation work at height.
Storing a chainsaw on the body while climbing, repositioning on a rope access rig, or moving between cuts in arboricultural work at height.
Keeping a large power tool accessible but out of the way during multi-step tasks where the tool is needed repeatedly but not continuously.
Providing a consistent storage position for a heavy tool during elevated assembly or maintenance work where reaching into a bag or pouch each time would create delay.

How to Use

Step 1: Pass the harness waist belt or tool belt through the belt slot on the back of the AirPark.

Step 2: Slide the AirPark along the belt to the desired position. The locking system will hold it there.

Step 3: Before docking any tool, connect it to an approved anchor point via a rated tool lanyard. Tools over 3kg must connect to a structural anchor point. This tethering step is required before the tool is docked, not optional.

Step 4: Dock the tool by lowering it into the open body of the AirPark until the hook end at the base retains it.

Step 5: To retrieve, lift the tool clear of the hook end with one hand.

Common Mistakes

Docking a tool without first connecting it to a lanyard and anchor point. The AirPark holds the tool on the body. If the tool slips out of the AirPark, only the lanyard prevents it from falling.
Fitting the AirPark on a belt outside the 45mm to 50mm range. A narrower belt will not engage the locking mechanism correctly. A wider belt may not pass through the slot.
Treating the 10kg rating as a dynamic load rating. The 10kg is a static capacity. The forces generated by a tool dropping and being arrested are far higher than static weight and are not covered by the AirPark's rating.
Assuming the hook end is a complete retention solution. The hook end slows and prevents casual slipping. It is not a gated lock. Always use the lanyard tether as the primary drop prevention control.

Safety

The AirPark is rated to 10kg maximum static load. This rating covers the weight of the tool sitting in the clip during normal movement and repositioning at height. It does not cover dynamic forces from a drop event. The docked tool must always be independently tethered to an anchor point via a rated lanyard, regardless of whether the tool is in active use or docked in the AirPark. Any tool over 3kg must be connected to a structural anchor point rather than a body-worn anchor. The AirPark is not a tether attachment, a tether point, or any form of fall protection component.

Maintenance

Inspect the body of the AirPark before each use for cracks, distortion, or damage to the hook end. Confirm the belt locking mechanism engages correctly on the belt. Check that the hook end is intact and has not been deformed through impact. Clean with a water-dampened cloth if needed. Retire from service immediately if any cracking, deformation, or loss of function is visible. In the event of an impact or drop involving the AirPark, inspect thoroughly before returning it to service.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does the AirPark replace a tool lanyard?
A: No. The AirPark provides a body-mounted docking point for a tool when it is not in active use. The docked tool must still be independently tethered to an anchor point via a rated tool lanyard at all times. The AirPark holds the tool on the body for convenience and access. The lanyard prevents it from falling if it leaves the AirPark.

Q: What tools does the AirPark hold?
A: The AirPark is designed primarily for cordless drills, hammer drills, and chainsaws, but holds any tool that fits within the open body of the clip without exceeding the 10kg static load rating. The non-gated design accommodates a range of tool body shapes and sizes. For best retention, the tool body should seat comfortably against the hook end at the base.

Q: What does non-gated mean?
A: Non-gated means the AirPark has no gate, catch, or release mechanism to operate when retrieving the tool. The tool sits in the open body of the clip and is retained by the shaped hook end at the base. To retrieve the tool, lift it clear of the hook end with one hand. No second hand is needed to open a gate.

Q: What belt does the AirPark fit?
A: The AirPark fits 45mm to 50mm webbing and padded belts. This covers most standard harness waist belts and construction tool belts. Pass the belt through the belt slot on the back of the AirPark before sliding it to the desired position. The unique locking mechanism then holds the clip in place on the belt.

Q: What is the difference between a static load rating and a dynamic load rating?
A: A static load rating covers the weight of an object sitting in a holder under normal movement conditions. The AirPark's 10kg static rating means it holds a 10kg tool during normal work movement. A dynamic load rating covers the forces generated when a falling object is arrested, which are considerably higher than static weight. The AirPark does not carry a dynamic rating. This is why the docked tool must also be connected to a separately rated lanyard and anchor point.

Q: Why do tools over 3kg need to connect to a structural anchor rather than a body anchor?
A: A body-worn anchor such as a wrist band or belt loop transfers load forces to the wearer. For lighter tools, these forces are manageable. For heavier tools, the forces involved during movement and particularly during a drop arrest are better managed by a structural anchor fixed to the scaffold, MEWP basket, or working structure, which is not affected by the wearer's movements or position.

Q: What is the difference between the AirPark and a standard tool holster?
A: The AirPark carries a 10kg static load rating and is designed for use at height alongside a separate tool lanyard. Standard tool holsters typically carry no load rating, no certified locking belt system, and are designed for ground-level trades use. The AirPark's unique belt locking system and hook end are specific to the demands of height work where tools must stay in position during climbing, repositioning, and elevated assembly.
