The CarrySuit is a passive exoskeleton that reduces shoulder and neck load during carrying and holding of heavy loads by transferring forces to the hips.

Practical support for daily operations
Carrying
Holding
The CarrySuit supports carrying and holding by keeping loads close to the body and routing a share of the load through the system to the hip area. This reduces peak strain in the shoulder, neck and arms and makes repetitive handling more manageable across the shift.
Comfort for long wear
Close-to-body fit that spreads contact forces and reduces pressure points.
Quick to fit
Simple adjustments help achieve a secure, consistent fit within minutes.
Connect real loads
Connect loads via snap hooks, with adapters available for objects that cannot be hooked directly.
Easy care
Textile components are machine-washable and easy to maintain.
How the CarrySuit works
A fully passive textile system that supports carrying and holding by stabilizing the load close to the body. No batteries, no motors.
Alternative load path
Carrying and holding can create high local strain in the upper body. The CarrySuit provides a secondary load route through the structure, so the arms do not carry the full load alone.
Force transfer to the hips
Part of the load is guided into the hip area to support sustained handling. This helps keep carrying more stable and manageable, especially over longer cycles and holding phases.
Engineering & Validation
Built for day-to-day industrial use. The CarrySuit is engineered for stable load handling, repeatable fit, and practical validation in controlled and real work settings.
Wearable & low-profile
Designed to sit close to the body and stay stable while walking, turning, and handling. Works with common workwear and does not require a power supply.
Passive by design
A purely mechanical support concept with few moving parts. Support is always available when carrying or holding, without charging, or operating setups.
Lab & field validation
Assessed in lab settings and in real work trials. Evaluations with industry partners help confirm performance and usability under practical conditions.
Applications & Industries
Used in workplaces where heavy components, tools, and materials are moved by hand and sustained holding phases are common.
Construction
Carrying building materials, tools, and heavy components across the site
Distribution
Handling crates and heavy items repeatedly during routes and delivery work
Relocation & moving
Moving heavy items where long carries and sustained holding are common
Maintenance & service
Carrying tools, spare parts, and equipment during on-site work and longer walking routes
How to attach different loads
​Out of the box, the CarrySuit is equipped with two snap hooks to connect loads. The user can use the hooks to quickly attach and detach a variety of payloads. For payloads that cannot be connected with a snap hook, we offer and develop various exchangeable adapters to connect them to the CarrySuit.
Clamps
For securely gripping and carrying crates and heavy objects
Suction Cup
Suitable for smooth surfaces and heavy objects that cannot be hooked
Hooks
For quick hooking and releasing of loads in everyday work
Band
Flexible solution for irregularly shaped and bulky objects
How to get started
1
Assess
We review your tasks and work environment to confirm fit and define success criteria. You receive a practical recommendation for target tasks, user groups, and set up.
2
Pilot
We run a time-boxed pilot with a small group in daily work and collect structured feedback and observations. Based on the results, we fine-tune fit, support settings, and the rollout approach.
3
Rollout & Training
After the pilot, we support user and supervisor training and help integrate the CarrySuit into your standard operating procedures. This ensures consistent use and a smooth scale-up across teams.
