Hilti’s Exoskeleton Tech Brings Wearable Devices to the Trades

In the world of construction, repetitive overhead tasks are common and they take a toll on crews. Installing drywall, running conduit, hanging sprinklers, sanding ceilings and setting metal framing all require workers to hold their arms above shoulder level for long periods. To address fatigue and strain in these scenarios, Hilti’s EXO-S Shoulder Exoskeleton is gaining attention on jobsites as a wearable support solution that helps reduce shoulder and neck load while crews work above shoulder height.
