The Aerial Port Exoskeleton, or APEx, is a device designed to give aerial porters enhanced lifting, pushing support for handling big loads with fewer injuries. It provides Air Force aerial porters — responsible for loading pallets and lifting cargo onto aircraft — increased lifting and pushing support. Although it may not yet be at the level of Iron Man’s exoskeleton, a new power and endurance device from Arizona State University is giving U.S. Air Force aerial porters enhanced levels of safety and strength on the job.
