PREVENTING BACK PAIN and improving quality of life
Laevo’s main goal is to protect against or prevent back injuries and to help people work longer and more comfortably so they can go home with more energy. We sell our own self-developed Laevo exoskeletons, but in the Benelux we also offer other innovative solutions from partners such as Dutch brand Skelex, German companies Hunic, WearHealth and E-Cooline, and Japanese brand Rakunie. This allows us to always offer a suitable solution within the Benelux.
Since its founding in 2013, Laevo has been a pioneer in the exoskeleton market and is one of the oldest and most experienced exoskeleton companies in the world. This is reflected in the number of scientific publications: Laevo is the most extensively researched exoskeleton worldwide.
Our exoskeletons are wearable supports that reduce physical strain and adapt to any posture. They operate using spring-based energy storage systems that store energy when you bend so no electricity or batteries are needed. Users experience less effort and fatigue when bending and returning to an upright position.
In professions with an increased risk of back injury, many workers are continuously protected against overload and harmful strain. This leads to reduced absenteeism and disability. It enables companies to take the next step in sustainable employability, foster good employer practices, and lower costs.
Our Approach
An exoskeleton is not always the best solution! With our years of experience, we help you find the optimal way to reduce physical strain for you or your employees.
1. Analysis of the work situation
At Laevo, every project starts with a thorough analysis of your specific situation. We assess your work tasks and identify the core challenges—sometimes with the help of the WearHealth Platform, which uses AI and wearable sensors to map out ergonomic risks. We also use the Inclusive Technology inspiration tool, a recognized tool for reintegration opportunities. For larger companies, we take the time to fully understand your business processes and the ergonomic challenges your employees face.
2. Exoskeletons should be part of a broader intervention plan
An exoskeleton on its own is not a miracle solution. It should be integrated into a broader intervention plan that also includes other ergonomic tools and improvements. We make sure all aspects of the workplace and working conditions are taken into account.
3. The exoskeleton must fit the task
Choosing the right exoskeleton is crucial. In addition to our own Laevo exoskeletons, we offer a broad portfolio of exoskeletons from other brands to provide a tailored solution for your specific situation.
4. Comprehensive support during implementation
We don’t just provide the exoskeleton — we support you throughout the entire implementation process. From the initial fitting to staff training, our exoskeleton specialists are ready to assist you every step of the way.
5. ‘Smart’ training and optimizations
With our ‘smart’ training using wearable sensors, we ensure your team gets the most out of their exoskeletons. This training also enables real-time posture coaching and proactive optimizations to improve workplace safety.

-
Laevo exoskeletons contain no batteries—so no charging is needed. The exoskeleton is ready when you are.
Energy is stored in the exoskeleton when you bend and released when you return to an upright position.
-
An exoskeleton with a rigid structure transfers only vertical forces to the body, making it comfortable under high support and highly effective in reducing compressive forces on the spine.
-
With a supportive torque of up to 60 Nm, Laevo exoskeletons can provide assistance for the most demanding lifting tasks.
-
Put on and take off in under 10 seconds. Opening the vest and belt is all it takes.
All size and comfort settings remain intact when putting it on or taking it off.
-
Our exoskeletons have a very high power-to-weight ratio and weigh between 2.5 and 4 kg, depending on the model and size.
-
The forces required for strong support are distributed across large, comfortable contact surfaces on the body.
-
Our patented mechanisms provide direct support even at small bending angles, while walking and all movements needed for your tasks remain completely unrestricted.
-
Many parts are interchangeable, allowing everyone to find a comfortable fit.
