EXO-S Construction Exoskeleton
Redefine overhead work with Hilti's upper-body exoskeleton
Help keep your projects running smoothly with the EXO-S exoskeleton – Hilti’s new transformative technology designed to help improve jobsite efficiency, while assisting with alleviating upper-body fatigue and pain resulting from repetitive overhead tasks.
To help ensure you’re getting the most of out of your EXO-S on the jobsite, Hilti offers implementation, training and support for your EXO-S. It’s one more way Hilti is there for you from start to finish.
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.
