How many times have you caught yourself thinking…

“At this pace, my back won’t survive until retirement.”

“If I throw my back out, I won’t even be able to go to work.”

“Great… I have to move this thing again. Another chance to mess up my back.”

Back pain shouldn’t be inevitable

Your workday is anything but easy:

  • lifting heavy loads, bending, and repeating the same movements
  • discomfort and pain in your back and lower spine
  • a possible decline in work quality
  • forced time off, delays in your projects, and even potential loss of income

Using an exoskeleton helps reduce these risks, allowing you to work without compromising your health.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the claimed “20% reduction in muscle effort” measured for tasks similar to my job (heavy lifting, repetitive bending)?

Yes, the study was conducted with two tasks commonly found in professional settings: material handling (lifting a load) and trunk flexion (bending forward).

Read the Hapo BACK scientific study

Up to what weight/load does it help? If I lift heavy items (cinder blocks, bags of cement), can the device handle it or get overwhelmed?

Yes, the device can handle it. You are always lifting the load yourself, and the exoskeleton provides assistance that is equally effective whether you lift 11 lb or 33 lb.

Does it restrict movement outside of bending (twisting, leaning sideways, walking on uneven surfaces)?

No, you retain full freedom of movement. This is a key focus in our exoskeleton design.

What sizes are available? Will it fit my body properly?

Yes, multiple exoskeleton sizes are available to match different body types, and adjustable settings allow for a precise fit.

Is the exoskeleton covered by a warranty?

Yes, it comes with a 2-year warranty covering spring breakage and abnormal fabric wear.
