The DeltaSuit is a passive exoskeleton designed to reduce load in the shoulder, neck, and arm during overhead tasks. Integrated spring elements provide supportive torque during arm elevation.

Practical support for daily operations
Overhead tasks
Elevated arm positions
The DeltaSuit supports work in overhead and elevated arm positions by reducing the effort needed to hold and control the arms. It is suited for tasks with frequent elevated phases where shoulder and neck strain builds up over the shift.
Freedom of movement
Chest-mounted design keeps the spine free and supports natural upper-body motion during manual work.
Quick to fit
Simple adjustments and an adaptive structure help users get a secure, consistent fit in minutes.
Adjust support levels
Two selectable support levels allow adaptation to task intensity and work duration.
Comfort & easy care
Low-profile design for prolonged wear, with textile components for easy cleaning and maintenance.
How the DeltaSuit works
A fully passive system that supports elevated arm work through a supportive frame and integrated spring elements. No batteries, no motors.
Shoulder torque support
Load bypass through the frame
When the arms are raised, the shoulder joint and muscles work continuously against gravity. The DeltaSuit generates a support torque at the shoulder and an upward force at the upper arm interface, reducing the effort needed to hold and control elevated arm positions.
Repetitive elevated tasks can accumulate strain in the shoulder and arm over the shift. The DeltaSuit redirects part of the load through its supportive frame, reducing muscular demand and improving comfort during repeated elevated work.
Engineering & Validation
Developed for real working conditions. Key design principles behind the DeltaSuit and how they are assessed in lab and field.
Textile & low-profile
Compact textile design for overhead work. Stays close to the body to preserve freedom of movement and integrate with typical workwear.
Passive by design
Support is generated mechanically via spring elements that engage during arm elevation and release on the way back.
Lab & field validation
Assessed in lab measurements and field evaluations in real work environments. Partner trials help confirm performance and usability under practical conditions.
Applications & Industries
The DeltaSuit is well suited for manual tasks involving prolonged arm elevation and overhead work, including:
Manufacturing
Overhead assembly, fastening, tool work, and line-side operations with frequent elevated reaches
Logistics & maintenance
Order picking at height, stocking, inspection, and routine maintenance with repeated elevated reaches
Construction
Installation work, ceiling tasks, drilling, and overhead fastening with sustained arm elevation
Utilities & infrastructure
Cabling, pipework, and overhead installation tasks in plants and infrastructure environments

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 DeltaSuit into your standard operating procedures. This ensures consistent use and a smooth scale-up across teams.
