Hilti launches improved exoskeleton for more diverse bodies

The new exoskeleton from Hilti, EXO-S

Hilti has launched an improved version of its wearable EXO-O1 skeleton, the EXO-S.

The Hilti exoskeleton, designed and produced in conjunction with Ottobock Industrials, now features “an even more inclusive design able to fit a more diverse range of bodies, with additional support and comfort”, according to the tool and product supplier.

The EXO-S is:

  • suitable for all-day use and weighs just 2.4kg (“one of the lightest shoulder exoskeletons currently available”, according to Hilti);
  • customisable – a neck support can be added for extra relief during the most demanding overhead tasks; and
  • easy to adjust – pre-defined small/medium/large steps make it easy to adjust to different bodies, which means more sharing among workers. The exoskeleton can be used by people with a bicep circumference of up to 40cm.
