FLx Ergoskeleton Technical Benefits

The Posture Feedback System

• Lifting. As you lift a load, the Posture Feedback System is designed to remind you, by applying pressure against your back, if you move into an improper position. This reminds the user to change their position to reflect the NIOSH and OSHA lifting guidelines. We recommend daily use of the FLx to maintain good posture throughout the workday, as energy and job intensity changes throughout the day.
• Rotating If you rotate your body beyond recommended guidelines, the Posture Feedback System is designed to remind you by applying pressure to your opposite shoulder and back. This is a reminder to the user that they should change their position to a proper lifting posture.

Load Re-distribution

• The Ergoskeleton load-shifting technology is designed to help to reduce certain factors that have been associated with lumbar back pain. It reduces strain on the lower back, which can help reduce lower back injuries. Operators are automatically reminded to follow the NIOSH and OSHA lifting guidelines in every lift to promote pivoting, knee bending and better body mechanics every day for safer more energetic and more productive work.
