Malta X1000 Mobile Grabber: Road-Towable Manual-Hydraulic Overhead Anchor for 2 Workers
The Malta Dynamics X1000 is a road-towable mobile fall protection system that delivers two overhead anchor points for work at height, with no fixed building anchor and no ground penetration. A manual hand-pump hydraulic system raises the mast from 17 ft to 22 ft, outrigger jacks level the base on uneven ground, and the trailer tows at posted highway speed to the next jobsite. It is the value-priced, no-power alternative to the electric X1000E.
Two workers, a hand-pump hydraulic mast that adjusts from 17 ft to 22 ft, and a road-towable trailer that deploys in minutes.

Who Needs the X1000
The X1000 is built for two-worker overhead tie-off on dynamic jobsites where permanent anchorage is not available and a power source is not guaranteed: trailer and railcar loading, aircraft and heavy equipment maintenance, and high-ceiling facility work. Because the base is free-standing and stabilized by outrigger jacks, there is no drilling, no roof penetration, and no building attachment. The manual hand-pump mast raises from 17 ft to 22 ft, and the road-towable trailer relocates at posted highway speed when the job moves.

Features
Manual hydraulic hand pump
Raise and lower the mast with a reliable manual hand-pump hydraulic system, the value-priced alternative to the electric X1000E.
Road-towable trailer
Tow at posted highway speed between jobsites, then deploy in minutes without a power source.
Two overhead anchor points
Tie-off points rated to 310 lbs each support up to two workers at once for fall arrest or fall restraint.
17 ft to 22 ft working height
An adjustable mast sets the overhead anchor between 17 ft and 22 ft to clear trailers, rail cars, and large equipment.
Outrigger jacks
Manually adjustable jacks level and stabilize the base on uneven ground, with no drilling or ballast required.
USA-made and tested
Built in a USA-based ISO 9001 certified facility and tested to meet and exceed OSHA anchorage requirements.
Tow only within the rated speed, set up on stable, level ground, and extend the outrigger jacks before raising the mast or tying off. Confirm the unit is level, complete a daily visual inspection of the trailer, mast, jacks, and anchor points, and pair the X1000 with a compatible self-retracting lifeline; SRLs are not included with the unit.
Typical Applications
Trailer and railcar loading
Overhead tie-off for two workers on top of trailers, tankers, and rail cars during loading and unloading.
Aircraft and heavy equipment
Position dual overhead anchors above aircraft or large machinery for maintenance and inspection.
High-ceiling facilities
Mobile overhead anchorage for service work where fixed roof or wall anchors are not available.
Remote and changing jobsites
Tow the unit between sites and deploy quickly with the manual-pump mast and outrigger jacks.
