HAPO SD – Passive Back Support Exoskeleton

Discover the HAPO SD, a state-of-the-art passive exoskeleton engineered to relieve lower back fatigue and protect your spine during physically demanding tasks. Whether you're in logistics, construction, agriculture, or healthcare, the HAPO SD delivers targeted lumbar support without batteries or motors.

Why Choose HAPO SD?

• Lumbar Protection on Demand: Designed specifically to alleviate lower back strain, the HAPO SD redistributes the load from your upper body to your thighs, thanks to an innovative spring-rod system. This reduces the pressure on your spinal muscles and lowers the risk of musculoskeletal disorders. 

• Ideal for Repetitive or Leaning Tasks: If your job involves repeated bending, prolonged leaning, or lifting heavy items, this exoskeleton provides constant assistance exactly when and where you need it. 

• Lightweight & Non-Intrusive: Weighing in at just 2.1 lbs, the HAPO BACK is made from ultra-light fiberglass rods, and breathable, water-repellent textile. 

• Quick to Put On / Take Off: The device can be set up in under 50 seconds and removed in about 20 seconds.

• No Batteries Needed: Because it’s a passive, non-powered system, there’s no need to worry about recharging or heavy electronics.  

How It Works

The HAPO SD exoskeleton leverages a cutting-edge, sppring-rod mechanism: as you bend or lean forward, the rods bend and store potential energy, then help guide that load toward your thighs. This clever biomechanical redistribution means your back muscles don’t have to fight gravity alone. The result? Significant relief across a full range of back angles, and up to 15% reduction in muscle strain.

Tangible Benefits

• Reduced Fatigue & Strain: Less muscular effort over time means you can work longer and more comfortably.

• Lower Risk of Injury: By taking pressure off the spine and discs, HAPO SD helps prevent overuse injuries and supports long-term spinal health. 

• Enhanced Daily Performance: Whether lifting boxes, bending over workstations, or leaning forward for extended periods, you'll feel more grounded and stable.

Design & Durability

• Sizes: Comes in three sizes, with each having either a "soft" or "hard" resistance level, allowing it to fit a variety of users. 

• Materials: Crafted from lightweight and robust springs, paired with washable textile components.

• Operating Conditions: Designed for a dry environment, and tested to withstand temperatures from about 14°F to 104°F.

• Warranty: Backed by a 2‑year warranty covering spring breakage and fabric issues. 

• Certifications: CE Machine Directive 2006/42/EC, ISO 9001 certified, and recognized for corporate responsibility with EcoVadis commitment.
