Ekso Bionics, a company that develops exoskeleton technology, announced that EGM Builders is the first customer to acquire EVO units. EVO is the company’s latest innovation in exoskeleton tech for industrial use.
EVO is an upper-body exoskeleton that is durable, assistive, and naturally-tracking. EVO also includes additional technology to aid workers with overhead work, reduce fatigue, and lower the risk of shoulder and back muscle strain. EVO offers 5 to 15 pounds of lift assistance in each arm to elevate and alleviate strain.
“Commercial construction is physically demanding work and maintaining employee physical health is of our utmost importance,” said Michael Espinosa, President & CEO, Partner at EGM Builders. “EVO will allow team members to stay safe and comfortable while performing the work for which EGM Builders is known. Reducing the risk of workplace injuries is essential for ensuring that we can attract and retain the best industrial construction workers in the region while sustaining morale.”
