Exoskeleton: the Hapo dedicated to assisting workers in a standing position

Working in a standing position can be particularly taxing on the body, especially when postural or joint constraints are significant. Repetitive manual handling, carrying heavy loads, and intense physical work are all factors that contribute to the difficulty of work. Workers in the logistics, personal care, health, and construction sectors are particularly exposed to these risks. For all these reasons, the French company ErgoSanté has developed the Hapo.

The Hapo, equipment for occupational health

This exoskeleton relieves the back and helps maintain good posture while standing. Its action specifically targets fully bent postures or upright positions. Hapo is an innovative, non-motorized tool. The device improves the health and safety of workers by reducing the physical strain related to their professional activity.

This physical assistance device (PAD) features a harness that supports the back and shoulders, as well as a counterweight system that helps balance the body's weight. The exoskeleton also includes a locking mechanism that allows maintaining the desired position. Another adjustment system facilitates the adaptation of the exoskeleton to all movements.

A versatile and innovative tool

In logistics, the HAPO can be used for order preparation or loading/unloading goods. In construction, the exoskeleton is suitable for masonry or construction work that requires prolonged standing. By helping to maintain a correct posture, the Hapo reduces the risk of muscle pain, musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs), and other health issues related to working in a standing position.

The Hapo is a versatile tool that can be used in many sectors. In the healthcare field, it helps caregivers and nurses maintain correct posture when taking care of patients. In personal assistance, it reduces the effort required for household tasks that involve prolonged standing.

In short, Hapo is an innovative solution to improve the working conditions of workers who stand for long periods. The exoskeleton reduces the physical constraints related to their professional activity. It thus contributes to the prevention of MSDs and the improvement of health and safety at work.
