What kind of work is supported?
The LiftSuit was developed for all applications in which workers frequently lift objects or work in a forward-leaning position.
- Lifting Objects - While lifting from below hip-level, the integrated elastic elements store energy when users bend forward, and releases the energy when she/he starts lifting the object.
User gets additional energy that can relieve the back and hip muscles. Additionally, the elastic elements foster a proper lifting posture.
The LiftSuit does not only support normal lifting, it also supports lifting and handling objects while working on the knees. - Forward-Leaning Posture - Working for hours in a forward-leaning posture even without any additional weight can strain your back muscles as they carry your upper body weight.
- Anytime - Anywhere - Use in confined spaces, moving vehicles, standing and kneeling without movement restrictions.
How it Works
LiftSuit acts like a set of additional, external muscles to unload the back and hip muscles while lifting as well as working in a forward leaning position.
Integrated, specially developed textile springs store energy which is then used to support the user.
Easy-to-use, small and lightweight support system that users can wear without being constrained. Users can activate, deactivate and adjust the support manually on demand.
Results
LiftSuit significantly reduces the load on the back and hip muscles when lifting objects or remaining in a forward-leaning posture.
60º leaning while kneeling
- Upper arm muscle load reduction 33%
- Back muscle load reduction 34%
- Hip muscle load reduction 26%
- Gluteus muscle load reduction 19%
60º leaaning in standing
- Upper arm muscle load reduction 43%
- Back muscle load reduction 34%
- Hip muscle load reduction 28%
- Gluteus muscle load reduction 10%
Example : The strain on the back and hip muscles is reduced by 25 to 60% when carrying a load of 5 to 20 kilograms.
