Exoskeletons from Hilti
Hilti exoskeletons - Relief on construction sites
Hilti, a leading provider of construction and industrial solutions, has developed innovative exoskeletons, a ground-breaking technology specifically designed to reduce physical strain on workers on construction sites while increasing productivity. These exoskeletons are designed to make repetitive and strenuous tasks easier by minimising the strain on the upper body and counteracting signs of fatigue. Two models are particularly in focus: the battery-powered EXO-T-22 exoskeleton and the passive EXO-S.
Hilti EXO-T-22: Maximum performance with minimum load
The EXO-T-22 is an active exoskeleton that is particularly useful for heavy demolition and drilling work. Equipped with a 22-volt battery and adaptive software that automatically balances the weight of tools weighing up to 17 kg, this exoskeleton enables virtually weightless working. This technology not only ensures improved ergonomics, but also contributes significantly to the reduction of shoulder and back pain caused by repetitive and physically demanding work.
Advantages of the EXO-T-22:
- Ergonomic improvement: Less fatigue and less physical strain during heavy work.
- Higher productivity: More precise and less strenuous demolition and drilling work.
- Flexibility: Easy handling even when working overhead thanks to the folding support arm and low weight of less than 8 kg.
Areas of application:
- Permanent work on walls at knee to head height.
- Demolition and drilling work where heavy tools need to be supported.
- Overhead work where high precision is required.
Hilti EXO-S: Lightness & comfort for overhead work
The EXO-S is a passive exoskeleton specially developed for work where the worker has to work overhead for long periods of time. It is particularly lightweight (only 2.3 kg) and requires no energy supply, as it is based on a mechanical cable pull technology that reduces the weight of the Poor to the hips. This relieves the muscles of the shoulders and neck by up to 47 %, which leads to a noticeable reduction in physical strain.
Advantages of the EXO-S:
- High wearing comfort: The lightweight and ergonomic design ensures less fatigue and greater freedom of movement.
- Practical application: Ideal for all-day use on construction sites as no maintenance or power source is required.
- Versatility: Optimum support for almost all overhead applications, both indoors and outdoors.
Areas of application:
- Installation of drywalls and ceiling installations.
- Edge and surface sanding work on walls and ceilings.
- Overhead installations of pipework, sprinkler systems and other systems.

Conclusion: Revolutionary support for construction workers
The exoskeletons from Hilti represent a significant Progress in the construction industry represent. They combine ergonomic advantages with an increase in work efficiency and therefore help to improve the health and safety of workers on construction sites. Whether for heavy demolition work or continuous overhead work - the models EXO-T-22 and EXO-S offer tailor-made solutions to minimise physical strain and maximise productivity. Hilti's exoskeletons are a worthwhile investment for companies that want to relieve their employees and increase productivity at the same time, paying off in both the short and long term.
