Unparalleled support with adaptability

Hilti’s new EXO-S upper-body exoskeleton can assist with reducing arm and shoulder muscle fatigue during long periods of overhead work, while giving you more freedom of movement and a full range of motion. The ultralight exoskeleton, weighing in at less than 6 lbs., offers dynamic support and control through easier adjustability for a wide range of body types.

Benefits of the EXO-S

Enhanced jobsite efficiency

Focusing on reducing strain and fatigue for both experienced and novice users, the EXO-S helps maintain high productivity levels on the jobsite by aiding in the reduction of fatigue in workers. The EXO-S construction exoskeleton helps increase comfort levels in demanding applications like overhead drywall, piping, air duct, cables and conduit installation among others.

Designed for construction

The EXO-S reimagines overhead applications during a time the construction industry is experiencing a labor shortage. Created specifically for the construction industry, Hilti’s innovative upper-body exoskeleton solution helps alleviate the impact of physically intensive work. This can help reduce fatigue for your crew, and in turn aid with sustained efficiency – assisting you in attracting and retaining skilled labor.

Less pain, more gain

Offering an unimpeded range of motion in an easier-to-wear and lightweight solution weighing in at less than 6 lbs., the EXO-S provides dynamic support without restricting the span of motion of the arm and torso. The EXO-S leverages passive exoskeleton technology that is intuitive, well-balanced and easier-to-adjust on a wide range of body types.

Versatility and mobility

The EXO-S is engineered to help provide support for virtually any overhead installation work on construction jobsites. There’s no power source needed and no motors to maintain, helping to ensure your construction exoskeleton is ready whenever you need it. This lightweight system with a wearable backpack design helps to reduce the impact of physically intensive, repetitive movements from overhead and shoulder height applications, allowing you to more effectively tackle overhead work.

How to adapt your EXO-S for the best fit

Adjust the EXO-S for height

For best comfort, the highest point of shoulder hinge should be parallel with your shoulder
Press the release button on the height adjuster
Adjust to the desired height, making sure both sides are set to the same size.

Adjust the EXO-S for width

For better comfort, the back braces should be parallel with one another, and aligned with shoulder blades
Disengage the hook of the spacing adjuster
Lengthen / shorten the waist belt as desired, noting the height and waist size dimensions don't necessarily have to match.
Slip the EXO on to your shoulders and check the symmetrical positioning of the waist belt. The ball sockets must be fixed vertically relative to the shoulder blades and can be tilted outward (V-Shape), depending on your upper-body build. Your hands must be free to swing without hinderance.

Adjust the EXO-S for tensioning assistance

The tension-support range of the EXO-O1 can also be adjusted depending on the job or preference:

Turn the knob clockwise (+) for more assistance, turn it counter-clockwise (-) for less assistance.
Assistance is optimal when gravity is enough to make your arms drop, without further exertion on your part. It is not recommended to set assistance to a value higher than this; any lower setting is possible, in accordance with your preference.
