Wearable back-assist technology to reduce back injury.
Introducing to Australia,
the HeroWear Apex
The first exosuit built from the ground up for both men and women, the Apex is a back-assist exosuit that is designed to reduce strain on the back while fitting like a comfortable piece of clothing.
It features a patent-pending dual-mode technology to make it easy to turn the back assistance on or off, allowing it to be used in nearly any work situation.
The textile-based design is modular, allowing for over 50 possible combinations so that the fit and the amount of support provided is perfect for anyone in any job.
Step Into The Suit - Easily
The HeroWear Apex is a back-assist exosuit that blends comfort, ease-of-use, and accessibility for all. The textile-based exosuit design was built for maximum range of motion.
It is quick to put on. Quick to take off.
Comfortable to leave on all day. Enabling you to jump into a forklift, relax on your lunch break, and walk across an entire site — all without your exosuit getting in your way.
Simply put: The unique design provides strength when you need it, and gets out of your way when you don’t.
World’s first exo for all women and men.
Women make up half the industrial workforce. So from the beginning, the Apex was designed as an exo for all: the first exosuit with a female fit. With both female and male fits, including all sizes — short, tall, large and small, the Exo comes in over 50 different fit combinations.
Capable of reducing over 23kg of strain on the back.
The Apex is built to reduce loading and fatigue of back muscles by reducing strain on the back by over 23kg with every lift. It preserves your strength and sustains healthy productivity.
Light. Comfortable. Agile.
Comprised of lightweight materials, the Apex fits comfortably. Weighing only 1.5kg, it’s textile-based, breathable, and gives you an incredible range of motion.
Easy to put on. Simple to activate.
Easy to take on and off, the Apex’s dual-mode means you can activate the exosuit’s assistance when you need it. And deactivate it when you don’t.
The Science
Researched, developed, and tested in the lab at one of the world’s leading research institutions, HeroWear’s nonpowered exoskeleton technology is born from rigorous science and advanced ergonomics.
Functional and effective, the Apex’s lightweight design doesn’t have any motors or batteries. Which makes it simple, reliable, less operationally complex. And more suited for work.
The arrival of the Apex to Australia, means wearable exoskeleton technology is ready for the workplace today, across multiple industries — from logistics workers in warehouses, to construction sites, to healthcare workers.
Rigorous, field-tested science.
Backed by peer-reviewed science, and developed through rigorous testing both in the lab and in the field, the Apex quantitatively reduces back strain, fatigue, and risk of injury from bending and lifting.
Dual-mode clutch routes force through suit.
Centred on the back of the Apex, the proprietary clutch mechanism routes force through the exosuit. Reliably. Without the cumbersome weight of motors or batteries.
Dual-mode setting provides power on demand.
With the touch of a button, the Apex either gives you power or gets out of your way. It does it through a proprietary on/off clutch that enables you to easily turn assistance on or off at the push of a button. Reliable power when you need it. Flexibility when you don't. Maximum range of motion always.
Four modular components.
Modular components keep the Apex agile, enabling a wide range of size customisation. Using this modularity, the Apex delivers unprecedented range of sizes, with over 50 fit combinations including a full range of female-specific fits.
Adopting Exos Is Easier Than Ever.
The Apex was built to sustain your strength and improve your health — for work, for life, and for all. We built it with warehouse safety officers in mind, with a modular design that allows us to fit any workforce. Entirely.
Men and women, short and tall, large and small — each equally deserving of the benefits that the Apex delivers. Because work doesn't come only in a medium, and your exo shouldn't either.
