To help ensure you’re getting the most of out of your EXO-O1 on the jobsite, Hilti offers implementation, training and support for your EXO-O1. It’s one more way Hilti is there for you from start to finish.
Enhanced jobsite safety and efficiency
Focusing on reducing strain and fatigue for both experienced and novice users, the EXO-O1 not only helps take on the health and safety of workers, but also helps maintain high productivity levels on the jobsite. The EXO-O1 construction exoskeleton brings safety and comfort to demanding applications like suspended ceiling, overhead piping, air duct, cables and conduit installation among others.
Designed for construction
The EXO-O1 reimagines overhead applications during a time the construction industry is experiencing a labor shortage. Created specifically for the construction industry, Hilti’s innovative upper-body exoskeleton solution was designed in collaboration with a global leader in prosthetics, orthotics and exoskeletons. This innovation helps alleviate the impact of physically intensive work, keeping your crew safe and healthier, and in turn helping ensure sustained efficiency – allowing you to attract and retain skilled labor.
Less pain, more gain
Offering an unimpeded range of motion in an easy-to-wear and lightweight solution weighing in at less than 5 lbs., the EXO-O1 provides dynamic support without restricting the span of motion of the arm and torso. The EXO-O1 leverages passive exoskeleton technology that is intuitive, well-balanced and easy-to-adjust on a wide variety of body types.
Versatility and mobility
The EXO-O1 is engineered to provide support for virtually any overhead installation work on construction jobsites. There’s no power source needed and no motors to maintain, helping to ensure your construction exoskeleton is ready whenever you need it. This lightweight system with a wearable backpack design helps to reduce the impact of physically intensive, repetitive movements from overhead and shoulder height applications, allowing you to more safely and effectively tackle overhead work.
How to adapt your EXO-O1 for the best fit
Adjust the EXO-O1 for height
- For best comfort, the highest point of shoulder hinge should be parallel with your shoulder
- Locate the silver threaded rods at the base of the back supports
- Loosen the black lock nuts and twist the threaded rods: clockwise to lower the back support and counterclockwise to raise the back support
- Twist the black lock nut clockwise to lock the height of the back support in place
Adjust the EXO-O1 for width
- For best comfort, the back braces should be parallel with one another, and aligned with shoulder blades
- Locate the ball socket units at the base of each of the back supports
- In each ball socket unit, squeeze/pinch the locking clip and pull the locking clip out of the unit
- Move the ball hinge unit along the waist belt and insert the locking clip to secure the ball socket unit; check to make sure each side is equally spaced
Adjust the EXO-O1 for tensioning assistance
The tension-support range of the EXO-O1 can also be adjusted depending on the job or preference:
- Attach the magnetic adjusting knob to the narrow end of the shoulder hinge
- Increase the assistance tension by turning the magnetic adjustment knob clockwise or decrease the assistance by turning it counterclockwise
