Exoskeleton Solutions for Everyday Workers

Comfort and Support for Challenging Jobs

Ton the Dairy Farmer – Shoulder Support with Skelex 360

Ton is a Dutch dairy farmer who works in a swing-over milking setup. For years, repetitive arm-lifting during milking caused him chronic shoulder pain and sleepless nights. However, after adopting the Skelex 360, that pain has disappeared.

"I’ve had shoulder pain for years. Since I started using the exoskeleton, the pain is gone, and for the first time in a long while, I can sleep through the night.”

The Skelex 360 supports his arms during long periods of overhead work and fits easily into different barn layouts. By offloading the weight of his arms, it relieves muscle strain. This allows him to complete daily tasks with far less discomfort. Passive shoulder exoskeletons like this have shown significant reductions in muscle effort. This technology helps farmers like Ton work smarter and with less fatigue.

Tanja the Elderly Care Nurse – Lower-Back Support with Skelex Edge

Tanja works in elderly care, lifting and turning patients throughout each shift. Before using the Skelex Edge, she often finished work with an aching lower back.

“Before, I’d finish a shift with an aching back, especially after turning patients repeatedly. Now, with the Skelex Edge, I feel supported throughout the day and less worn out by the end of it. Whether I’m repositioning someone in bed or helping them stand, I can do it with more confidence and less risk.”

The Skelex Edge protects her lumbar spine by distributing the strain from bending and lifting. It supports her back during movement, keeping her posture better aligned. Back-support exoskeletons like the Edge effectively reduce spinal loading and muscular effort. This is a crucial benefit in caregiving jobs where physical demands are high and injuries are common.

Mehmet the Construction Worker – Grip Strength with Skelex Ironhand

Mehmet, a construction worker in Germany, works with grinders and power tools daily. Previously, long sessions with tools left his hands cramping and going numb. Now, with the Skelex Ironhand, that’s no longer a problem.

“After a few hours with the grinder, my hands would go numb or start cramping. Since using the Ironhand, that’s no longer a problem. It gives my grip real support and takes the vibration off my hands.”

The Ironhand is an active glove that enhances grip strength using sensors and powered tendons. It reduces the amount of force Mehmet needs to apply, minimizing fatigue and protecting his hands. It also helps absorb vibration from tools, lowering the risk of hand-arm vibration syndrome. For tradespeople like Mehmet, Ironhand provides safer, steadier, and longer-lasting tool control.

Marc the Marine Crane Operator – Neck Relief with Skelex Neck Support

Marc operates cranes in marine environments, often spending hours looking up to align remote-controlled equipment. This positioned his neck at an awkward angle, leaving it sore and stiff at the end of every day until he began using the Skelex Neck Support.

“I work in very tough conditions. I control various cranes using a remote, which means I look up all day and my neck suffers a lot. With the neck support, I feel less pain at the end of the day.”

The Skelex Neck Support gently lifts the head, reducing the effort required from neck muscles without restricting movement. It helps Marc maintain proper posture and lowers neck fatigue from extended overhead work. Devices like these have been shown to decrease discomfort and muscle strain. They are ideal for crane operators, electricians, and anyone working above eye level.

Work Smarter, Feel Better

From farms to hospitals, construction sites to ports, Skelex exoskeletons assist people in performing physical labor more comfortably and safely. By reducing strain and distributing effort, these tools help prevent fatigue, support long-term health, and keep individuals feeling their best throughout their workday. Whether it's protecting your shoulders, back, hands, or neck, Skelex provides smart, lightweight support to help you work better—every day.

The Future of Workwear

As technology advances, the potential for exoskeletons in various industries will only grow. ⌛ The possibilities are virtually endless. Exoskeletons could enhance productivity while prioritizing worker welfare. More organizations will likely adopt these innovations as awareness grows, leading to a healthier workforce.

Conclusion: A Shift Towards a Healthier Workplace

In conclusion, exoskeleton technology represents a crucial development for modern work environments. By addressing specific physical challenges faced by workers, these devices can improve safety and comfort. Workers experience a tangible difference, allowing them to focus on their tasks without the distraction of physical pain. As industries evolve, embracing innovations like these is essential for fostering a healthier, more productive workforce.

In summary, Skelex exoskeletons demonstrate how technology can empower workers across various sectors. By integrating these solutions, organizations can ensure their teams remain capable, healthy, and fulfilled in their roles.
