The feedback from our XPO colleagues using the exoskeletons during the pilot was hugely positive. Wearers reported significantly less fatigue and effort required in routine handling activities, which has supported the decision to expand the use and invest in the equipment for the benefit of our colleagues. Additionally, we found that the exoskeleton assists in forming good postural habits that will benefit the wearer even while not using the equipment.

We were apprehensive about purchasing a new stair climber as a machine from a different supplier had failed us. However, after a free demonstration at our Manchester bar, we are confident that the Sprinter 85 can safely carry 60kg beer kegs into the cellar. Deliveries down the steep steps are now made safely, quickly, and easily using the tracked machine.

We know that our drivers are making an increasing number of deliveries in urban areas where many customers live in flats and apartments, which often require access up several flights of stairs. Through collaboration with Stanley, we have been able to create a powered stair climber that suits the needs of our drivers and growing online operation, which in turn will see us reduce time at the doorstep and improve the customer experience.

“We have worked with Chris and the team at Stanley for several years now and the service has been excellent, the team are always very responsive and have been a great partner. During a complex rollout, the team at Stanley worked with us on a good base plan but factored in flexibility so that we could pivot if required, when any changes needed to happen the team approached the change with speed and this allowed us to re-plan quickly to continue the rollout. So far, it’s been very, very good, the communication up front needed for planning servicing is always excellent and the team also offer detailed post visit survey information, again we have found the team to be swift to act on any issues and always willing to go the extra mile. Working together we have set up a simple but effective breakdown swap out process for our colleagues and this enables us to swap out quickly,  with an agreed SLA and keep the fleet at the required number to add maximum value I have no hesitation recommending Stanley as a partner to work with.”
