Ekso EVO

Ekso EVO completes the list as an explicitly professional product. It supports the arms and shoulders during overhead industrial tasks using a passive mechanism, so it requires no batteries or charging. That distinguishes it from the recreational powered devices above and makes repeated work posture the relevant evaluation target.

The manufacturer documents independent left and right shoulder support and toggle controls, with a structure intended to allow torso and arm movement. It also leaves room for a fall harness. That compatibility is a design consideration, not evidence that the exoskeleton itself provides fall protection or replaces the required safety equipment.

The right purchase process is a workplace trial with the actual tools, postures and shift pattern. A device that helps during sustained overhead work may be less convenient during other parts of the same job, so task coverage and donning time matter. We have not independently established injury reduction or productivity gains. EVO earns the professional slot because its task and passive operating model are clear, with procurement, fit and workplace assessment kept distinct from consumer retail shopping.
