Construction Exoskeletons
Help extend your performance with Hilti's exoskeletons
Hilti’s new transformative technology is designed to help improve jobsite efficiency, while assisting to alleviate upper-body fatigue and pain resulting from repetitive overhead tasks.
Whether you're using the EXO-T-22 to help lighten your load and extend your performance with breakers, or the EXO-S to help delay fatigue with overhead work, Hilti wants to better ensure you're getting the most out of your EXO on the jobsite. Hilti offers implementation, training and support for your EXO. It’s one more way Hilti is there for you from start to finish.
Fewer Injuries and Muscle Strain with the Exo-T-22
Help keep your teams safer during wall breaking and repetitive drilling jobs
The battery-powered EXO-T-22 continuously and automatically redistributes tool weight to your hips as you work thanks to a system of motorized pulleys controlled by intelligent software. The result? Breakers and rotary hammers up to 37lbs feel almost weightless, which can help your crews work more comfortably and with better posture during wall-facing jobs at hip to head height. As part of an overall safety plan, this can help reduce common causes of injury such as muscle pain or working when fatigued.
Help Reduce Strain and Fatigue with the EXO-S
Redefine overhead work with Hilti's upper-body exoskeleton
For both experienced and novice users, the EXO-S helps maintain high productivity levels on the jobsite by aiding in the reduction of upper-body fatigue and pain resulting from repetitive overhead tasks. The EXO-S construction exoskeleton helps increase comfort levels in demanding overhead and shoulder height applications like drywall, piping, air duct, cables and conduit installation among others.
Offering an unimpeded range of motion in an easier-to-wear and ultralight solution weighing in at less than 6 lbs., the EXO-S provides dynamic support without restricting the span of motion of the arm and torso. The EXO-S leverages passive exoskeleton technology that is intuitive, well-balanced and easier-to-adjust on a wide range of body types.

How to adjust the EXO-S
How to Adapt Your Exo-S for the Best Fit
Adjust the EXO-S for height
- For better comfort, the highest point of the shoulder hinge should be parallel with your shoulder
- Press the release button on the height adjuster
- Adjust to the desired height, making sure both sides are set to the same size.
Adjust the EXO-S for width
- For better comfort, the back braces should be parallel with one another, and aligned with shoulder blades
- Disengage the hook of the spacing adjuster
- Lengthen / shorten the waist belt as desired, noting the height and waist size dimensions don't necessarily have to match.
- Slip the EXO-S on to your shoulders and check the symmetrical positioning of the waist belt. The ball sockets must be fixed vertically relative to the shoulder blades and can be tilted outward (V-Shape), depending on your upper-body build. Your hands must be free to swing without hinderance.
Adjust the EXO-S for tensioning assistance
The tension-support range of the EXO-S can also be adjusted depending on the job or preference:
- Turn the knob clockwise (+) for more assistance, turn it counter-clockwise (-) for less assistance.
- Assistance is optimal when gravity is enough to make your arms drop, without further exertion on your part. It is not recommended to set assistance to a value higher than this; any lower setting is possible, in accordance with your preference.
As with all Hilti’s solutions, we offer EXO implementation, training and support services on the jobsite for you and your crew, helping to ensure that you’ve got the right fit and are able to take advantage of all the benefits of this transformative technology.
