Description

DARWING ABC Lift is a lightweight, soft assist suit from Daiya Industry Co., Ltd. focused on easy donning and work-task support. Daiya describes it as a 3-step assist suit that uses rubber tension to support the back and waist muscles involved in lifting and standing from forward-bending or crouched postures.

It appears to sit below Hakobelude and PA-Jacket in assistance level, but is positioned for practical daily use in logistics, manufacturing, transportation, agriculture, caregiving/transfer support, and other work involving lifting or mid-waist posture. (see their comparison guide).Daiya’s comparison guide lists ABC Lift as a passive-type device, with an L-size device weight of about 0.45 kg (0.99 lb).
