The ExoActive as a game changer.

Work faster, more concentrated and more effectively? 300 test customers were allowed to put the ExoActive through its paces for six months. The result? Enthusiasm, because after the pilot phase, it's clear that the ExoActive is a real game changer for customers. We met three testers and asked them about their experiences.

The ex oskeleton actively supports you so that drywalling, painting, wallpapering and installation work on walls and ceilings doesn't get difficult in the first place. The exoskeleton has been on the market since autumn 2023 - with success. Before the market launch, a test study was conducted in seven European countries (Germany, England, France, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland and Sweden) in collaboration with the University of Innsbruck. The participants actively applied to us and we selected them on the basis of their professional activities.

Plastering, sanding, painting - it is extremely popular when used for overhead work: 53 per cent of participants use the exoskeleton for overhead activities. One very positive effect is that around 79 per cent of participants feel less physical fatigue. 71 per cent of respondents need significantly fewer breaks and 74 per cent perceive a relief at work. In the long term, this relief can lead to an improved quality of life and to people being able to do their job more easily and without pain.
