Skelex IP12: Your companion for working at heights
For working at heights, the Skelex IP12 will do the job perfectly. And for good reason: this ultra-light, passive device is designed to relieve strain on the shoulders and arms—just like the Hilti Exo-SorazAgadexo—during prolonged work at height. Weighing no more than 2.3 kg, it features a flexible carbon-fiber shoulder pad structure. Additionally, it offers adjustable support ranging from 1 to 4 kg per arm, with no batteries or maintenance required. Ideal for various tasks, it helps prevent musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) by reducing muscle fatigue, energy strain, and risks to the rotator cuffs or trapezius muscles. It fits all templates (two sizes) and can be put on in less than a minute. We’ll find out more soon.
Product Specifications for Skelex IP 12
The Skelex IP12 features a passive 100% mechanical system, with no external power supply, designed for overhead arm positions (static or mobile). The flexible design of the carbon blades ensures exceptional lightness (2.3 kg) and flexibility. Additionally, it offers adjustable support ranging from 1 to 4 kg per arm via a progressive support system. Available in 2 sizes (S/M, L/XL), it adapts to all body types thanks to its harness, straps, and interchangeable accessories (including a welding version). However, its main advantage is that you can put it on and take it off in less than a minute. It can be used in both sitting and standing positions, and it also fits perfectly under work clothes. The IP12 Skeleton is designed to prevent shoulder (rotator cuff), trapezius, and arm injuries during repetitive tasks with lightweight tools. Thanks to its optimized ergonomics, it also offers complete freedom of movement without any significant restrictions, even while walking or bending. Extremely comfortable for long shifts, it reduces energy expenditure and muscle fatigue while improving precision and productivity. Furthermore, it is suitable for the metallurgical, automotive, aerospace, maritime, and construction industries (painters, electricians, signmakers), as well as for landscaping and maintenance/repair work. Although completely compact and economical, it still has certain limitations, such as being suitable only for light tools, and it cannot handle heavy loads on the ground. Ideal for reducing musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) by minimizing physical effort, and endorsed by professionals.
Skelex IP12: Test and User Reviews
In the IP12 Reality-life performance skeletal study, this has been confirmed. Thus, painters at BTP can sand and hang for extended periods without experiencing extreme fatigue. This helps increase their productivity and the quality of their work by reducing the need for touch-ups.Furthermore, laboratory studies (EMG, perception) indicate a significant reduction in shoulder and trapezius muscle tension (up to 30–40% reduction in muscle activity). Reviews of the Skelex IP12 are positive. Users highlight its exceptional lightness and comfort. Mobility is maintained, whether in dynamic or static positions. This model is rated 4.5/5 on professional websites. It is recommended for physically demanding jobs requiring raised arms. The Skelex IP12 stands out for its mechanical simplicity and efficiency compared to TMS systems for working at heights. Lightweight and adaptable, it enhances durability and performance. In summary, it is a cost-effective investment aimed at preventing workplace injuries. Questions? Don’t hesitate to contact us.
