BACK UP

The BACK UP is a lower back and knee protection wearable made by Evolutionary Tools, a startup with hands-on tradesman experience. The BACK UP is not precisely an exoskeleton or an exosuit, instead being closer to a supernumerary limb wearable. Still, it aims to achieve relief in the lower back for workers, similar to other occupational and industrial exos featured here.

Description

The BACK UP is a durable and easy-to-use safety tool. It is ideal for construction, building, or general home projects. It redistributes the gravitational forces away from the user’s spine and knees. Perfect for working at ground level, on the hands and knees, or standing over a work area.

Essentially, a vest with a replaceable peg that can be switched out to fit the correct height of the work task, the BACK UP is deceptively more advanced than it appears. Materials, weight distributions, comfort, durability, and ease of use have all been meticulously refined over years of prototypes and initial small-volume product batches.
