Presentation
The HAPO UP helps relieve the user’s shoulders to reduce the risk of Musculo-Skeletal Disorders (MSD). As a result, the HAPO UP is particularly suitable for “airarm” or for light load handling tasks in the vertical plane for a vertical amplitude of 60° to 180°.
For who?
Work situations requiring a “arm in the air” posture are considered at risk for workers as they are at the origin of the onset of joint degradation of arms and shoulders.
Many sectors and professions are concerned (non-exhaustive lists)
Building | public works | maintenance | industry | farming | craftsmanship
How?
Natural evolution of the SHIVA, the HAPO UP draws its power from an articulated arm architecture that incorporates a composite blade (patented by ErgoSanté).
At rest, the articulated arms of the exoskeleton are attached to the belt level, which guarantees an ergonomic installation for people suffering from pathologies on their shoulders.
The HAPO UP is an example of excellence in support: -40% and -28% reduction in muscle solicitation of the shoulder, respectively for tasks with holding arms above the head and for movements of light loads in the vertical plane.
Characteristics
Amplitude of movements with assistance: from 60° to 180° in height, up to 180° in horizontal
Passive and adjustable support: up to 3.8 Kg per arm; passive and automatic disconnection when the arms are descended along the body
Single size: HAPO UP harness and articulated arms are adjustable to user morphologies.
Mass: 1,67 Kg
Start time: 50 seconds
Time to remove it: 20 seconds
Modularity: HAPO UP belt and harness are similar to HAPO FRONT. It is therefore possible to switch from one exoskeleton model to another by replacing the UP modules with the FRONT modules and removing the booster strap on the harness.
