Exoskeletons adapted for forklift operators

Exoskeletons adapted for forklift operators

Forklift operators play a central role in logistics, handling lifting equipment to ensure the arrangement, storage, and organization of goods. Their work exposes them to :

constraining postures, with the head tilted and looking upwards, during the movement of pallets and high-level storage.

carrying heavy loads, especially during the loading of lifting equipment.

These constraints, repeated over time, can lead to chronic pain and significant muscle fatigue. Adopting an exoskeleton represents an innovative solution to reduce physical effort and sustainably preserve the health of forklift operators.

The problems of forklift operators

MSDs therefore manifest in the daily lives of forklift operators as back and neck pain.

Focus on back pain

Back pain

Pain, muscle tension, risk of onset or worsening of lower back pain, sciatica, and herniated disc

Focus neck pain

Neck pain

Adapted to problems of neck pain and tension and cervical pain

Forklift operators are not spared from MSDs (Musculoskeletal Disorders).

The Hapo exoskeletons meet the expectations of forklift operators.

The non-motorized exoskeletons Hapo are designed to adapt to the challenges and daily activities of each forklift operator.
