[Grass Cutting, Excavation, Cargo Transport] DARWING Working Assist AS
Jointly developed product by Shimizu Corporation and Daiya Industry Co., Ltd. Available for general sale starting April 7, 2022.
This is an assist suit designed to reduce the workload when using a shovel. It is recommended for snow shoveling. It is a vest type that can be worn simply by tightening the belts around the chest and waist. Weighing approximately 500g, it is very lightweight, about 1/8 the weight of electric types. The assist function is activated by the rubber material on the back of the vest and the rubber belt that connects the shoulder of the dominant arm to the opposite upper arm at the back. When the worker bends forward to scoop snow with the shovel, the back material and shoulder-arm belt stretch, and conversely, when scooping up snow, both materials try to contract, providing assistive force and reducing the workload. The waist belt also features a pelvic corset function that stabilizes the waist, helping to maintain a proper working posture and prevent the occurrence of lower back pain.
