Work without back pain on your construction sites

Relieve your lower back with Hapo exoskeletons, designed for the daily activities of construction professionals.

How many times have you repeated yourself...

"At this rate, I'll be completely broken by retirement."

"I hope I don't throw out my back, otherwise I can't go to the construction site."

"Oh dear, I'm going to have to move this thing, another chance to throw out my back."

Back pain should not be a fatality.

A day on a construction site is not easy:

  • carrying heavy loads, bending over, making repetitive movements
  • discomfort and pain in your back and lower back.
  • a possible impact on the quality of your work
  • forced work stoppages, delayed projects, and a loss of income.

Using an exoskeleton helps to reduce these risks, to work without sacrificing your health.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will it really reduce pain in my actual worksite conditions (terrain variations, weather conditions, dust, mud, obstacles)?

Yes, it is suitable for the difficult conditions of a construction site, and the ability to unlock it quickly allows you to climb stairs or step over an obstacle, for example.

Is the announced reduction of "20% muscle effort" measured in cases similar to my job (carrying heavy loads, repeated bending)?

Yes, the study was conducted with two tasks commonly found on a construction site: handling (carrying a load) and bending the torso (leaning forward).

Up to what weight/load does it help? If I carry heavy loads (cinder blocks, bags of cement), does the device withstand it or does it get overloaded?

Yes, the device holds up because it is still you who lifts the load; the exoskeleton provides assistance, and this assistance is of the same power, whether you are lifting a load of 5 kg or 15 kg.

Does it hinder "non-flexion" movements (twisting, side bending, walking on uneven ground)?

No, you retain your freedom of movement, this is a point to which we pay a lot of attention when designing an exoskeleton.

What is the size/possible adjustment: will it fit me well (based on my body shape)?

Yes, there are several sizes of exoskeletons available, to be chosen according to your body shape. And the adjustments further refine the fit.
