Exoskeletons in Construction

Behind every building, bridge, and road are people doing physically demanding work. Construction workers keep everything standing, often in environments that test both strength and endurance. 

75%

54%

of all work-related health complaints in construction

are musculoskeletal disorders (MSD). ¹

of construction workers experienced symptoms of work-related MSDs over the past 12 months. ²

26 Days

Average sick leave per employee in the construction sector. One of the highest across all industries. ³

Physical Demands in Construction

Construction is tough on the body. Lifting, bending, and working overhead every day puts constant pressure on the back, shoulders, and other joints. This leads to pain and fatigue over time.

How Exoskeletons Help

Our exoskeletons are designed to make construction work less physically demanding by supporting the body during heavy, repetitive tasks.

Scientific Validation

Our exoskeletons are developed on the basis of biomechanics research and tested in studies. These studies provide objective evidence for the relief workers experience in daily use.

Find the Right Fit

Workplaces are different. And so are their needs. That’s why you can simply try our exoskeletons first: test them on site, use them for a trial period, or run a structured evaluation. We’ll help you find what works best for your team.
