Paexo Back

Workplace exoskeleton

Manual lifting of heavy loads is one of the most common causes of injuries in the workplace. The exoskeleton Paexo Back relives up to 25 kg stress on the lower back during lifting movements. Paexo Back takes the load off the shoulder and transfers it to the thighs. The core of the design is a purely mechanical control at hip level, a technological world first, which automatically switches off when walking and adjusts to different work steps. Paexo Back is as powerful as an exoskeleton with a power unit, though it is extremely light, easy to use, ensures full freedom of movement, and high-wearing comfort for men and women.
