Handling, lifting: reduce your back pain

The Hapo exoskeleton is designed for professionals who lift heavy loads and want to protect their bodies without losing their freedom of movement.

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 work"

"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.

Your professional daily life 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, delays on your projects, and a risk of loss of income.

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

"I am satisfied, it is truly a great relief. Before, I had severe lower back pain... At first, what I feared was that it would limit my movements... But in fact, you remain very agile with it."

The opinion of a specialist

“If you have an exoskeleton that is light enough, adapted to your morphology, and allows you to have slightly fewer constraints, then technically, you are less exposed

Frequently Asked Questions

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 that are often found in professional settings: handling (carrying a load) and bending the torso (leaning forward).

Read the scientific study of the Hapo BACK

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.

Is the exoskeleton guaranteed?

Yes, you benefit from a 2-year warranty on spring breakage and on abnormal fabric alteration.
