New partner
GBS distributes SuitX exoskeletons
SuitX is an American manufacturer of industrial exoskeletons. The new sales partner for Germany, Austria and Switzerland is Garo Business Solutions (GBS).
The company includes the entire SuitX product range in its program. This is complemented by a service package that ranges from product training and application evaluations to cleaning and maintenance.
GBS has been supplying the industry with custom-made mobile lifts from Alum-A-Lift since 2010, and now the SuitX range has been added. It consists of three exoskeletons: ShoulderX to relieve pressure on the upper arm muscles and shoulder joints, BackX to relieve pressure on the lumbar vertebrae and intervertebral discs and LegX to protect the knees and thigh muscles.
The human interface system makes it possible to combine different SuitX exoskeletons with each other and thus relieve the strain on several parts of the body at the same time.
The collaboration began in August with the launch of the website exoskelett-hebehilfe.de. Garo Business Solutions is responsible for sales and demonstrations of the exoskeletons as well as on-site user training. Customers also benefit from the fast, locally available spare parts and repair service.
"The topic of employee health and the resulting improvement in ergonomic processes is a top priority for many companies," says Roger Odenthal, Managing Director at GBS. "With SuitX, we provide the industry with effective body-worn assistance systems that protect the health of employees, optimize work processes and help to minimize costly absences due to illness." as
