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 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.

The Jolly has given my husband his independence and confidence back. I use the machine to take him upstairs, whilst he comfortably sits in his wheelchair. It has removed the hassle and fuss of transferring him in and out of his chair.

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.
