Back on trial in a garage in Quebec: the results observed

The adoption of exoskeletons in mechanical workshops in Quebec is no longer just a futuristic idea. In recent years, several car dealerships have wanted to concretely validate their effectiveness with their technicians.

Tests have taken place in automotive garages across Quebec, and the results speak for themselves: a tangible reduction in fatigue, an improvement in postural comfort, and a high rate of technician buy-in.

Concrete trials in real workshops

Each participating technician wore the Liftsuit during several normal workdays - lifting tires, brake maintenance, under-chassis inspections, handling heavy parts.
The goal was not to modify their way of working, but to observe how the exoskeleton integrated naturally into their daily routines.

Measured results observed in the field

Feedback from ergonomists and users converges on the same conclusions:

• An average reduction of 25% to 35% in perceived effort in the lower back.

• A significantly reduced fatigue by the end of the work shift.

• A more stable and upright posture, even in prolonged positions.

Workshop managers have also noted a decrease in the number of complaints related to physical discomfort and improved productivity by the end of the day. Some workers have even stated that they "didn't want to do without it" for more physical tasks like tire changes or floor repairs.

The human aspect: a key success factor

Beyond the numbers, the tests highlighted an essential aspect: the perception of workers.
When technicians understand that the exoskeleton does not replace their strength, but intelligently supports it, buy-in becomes natural. Many have pointed out that the Liftsuit makes them feel "lighter" during repeated bends, without limiting their movements.

The exoskeleton thus becomes not only a prevention tool but also a lever for enhancing the profession. In a context where young workers are seeking more innovative and safe work environments, this represents a considerable advantage for car dealerships in Quebec and Canada.

A potential for transformation in the automotive industry

The results of these trials clearly demonstrate that passive exoskeletons can play a decisive role in preventing back injuries and the sustainability of skilled labor.
By integrating these technologies into their workshops, dealerships can:

• improve the physical health of their employees,

• reduce costs associated with absences,

• strengthen their health and safety culture,

• and project an image of an innovative and responsible company.

The Liftsuit thus presents itself as a concrete solution, simple to implement and cost-effective in the long term.

Conclusion

Tests conducted in garages in Quebec prove that the exoskeleton is no longer a gadget but a true work tool for automotive mechanics.
The Liftsuit, lightweight, efficient, and approved by ergonomists, allows mechanical workshops to focus on health, sustainability, and performance.

Garages that choose to adopt this technology are engaging in a modern approach to health and safety prevention and well-being at work, a winning investment for both workers and the company.
