Hapo Exoskeleton: Full Range, Prices and Buying Guide (2026)

Are you looking for a Hapo exoskeleton to relieve the back, shoulders or neck at work, but hesitating between the models and want to know the prices? This guide reviews the whole Hapo range — eight models, from €534 to €3,500 — and helps you choose the one that matches your workstation and movements precisely.

Who is Hapo (Ergosanté)?

Hapo is the range of work exoskeletons developed and made in France by Ergosanté. All models are passive exoskeletons: they work through leaf springs, with no motor or battery. The assistance is therefore permanent, with no recharging, robust and with no complex maintenance. Each model is certified CE (2006/42/EC), ISO 9001, labeled Made in France and guaranteed for 2 years.

The aim of the whole range is the same: reduce fatigue and prevent musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs), the leading cause of occupational disease. The difference between the models lies in the body area supported and the working posture targeted.

Which Hapo exoskeleton to choose? (by workstation)

The right choice depends above all on the dominant posture of your workstation. Here is how to find your way.

You work bent forward → Hapo HD

Handling, order picking, tasks on a low work surface: the Hapo HD supports the lower back at every trunk flexion. It is the entry model of the back range (€1,069), light (1.13 kg) and versatile.

You work on the floor, crouching or kneeling → Hapo SD

Tiling, plumbing, connections, agricultural tasks: where many exoskeletons lose effectiveness, the Hapo SD keeps its lumbar support in every position, including at floor level. Robust, designed for difficult environments.

You want “smart” lumbar support → Hapo BACK

The Hapo BACK only assists when it is useful (on flexion and straightening) and stays neutral the rest of the time. Ideal when flexion is frequent but interspersed with walking and moving around.

You have everyday low-back pain → Hapo BR

The Hapo BR acts differently: it decompresses the spine continuously, for immediate relief, including when standing still. It is the model to favor against low-back pain and background lumbar fatigue.

You are a woman exposed to back pain → Hapo CS

The Hapo CS takes the back technology with a harness designed for the female body (chest comfort). Same lumbar support, adapted fit. Very light (850 g), available in black and white.

You work with arms in front of you → Hapo FRONT

Assembly, screwing, quality control, bench work: the Hapo FRONT supports shoulders, arms and elbows on repetitive chest-height movements, with adjustable assistance (2, 4 or 6 kg per arm).

You work with arms overhead → Hapo UP

Ceilings, wiring, painting, work at height: the Hapo UP supports the shoulders at elevation, the most demanding posture for the upper body. The most supportive model in the shoulder range.

You work with your head raised → Hapo NECK

Work on ceilings, under machines or under vehicles: the Hapo NECK supports the neck muscles during “gaze upward” postures. Ultra-light (350 g) and often complementary to the Hapo UP.
