March 18, 2009 – Equipois announced zeroG2 product line for payloads under 10 pounds. The zeroG2 avoids the harmful effects of fatigue caused by handling tools or other objects for long periods or in awkward positions, enabling workers to operate more efficiently, with better control, and with significantly less risk of injury. These improvements translate into substantial savings for manufacturers, recouping the employer’s investment in as little as a few months. Many manufacturing tasks require workers to operate tools that seem relatively lightweight.
However, when these tasks are frequent or continuous, they can generate real operational losses due to fatigue, causing production and quality issues The zeroG2 solves that challenge – workers can use their fine motor skills, judgment and experience without undue strain on their bodies. The zeroG2 will provide dramatic benefits for a wide range of lighter industrial tools such as right angle drills, palm sanders, small rivet guns, and grinders.
