The VIGX Ant-WA1 is VIGX’s most powerful handling assist exoskeleton, purpose-built for the most physically demanding load-carrying and lifting tasks in industrial and logistics environments. Unlike standard waist-assist exoskeletons that only support the lumbar region, the Ant-WA1 provides integrated waist and arm assistance — with the unique capability to lift loads all the way up to shoulder height, enabling workers to handle heavy cargo across the full vertical range of motion without straining the back, shoulders, or arms. Powered by four high-performance engines and an AI-driven smart intention recognition system, the Ant-WA1 continuously reads the user’s movement and load weight, automatically adapting its output to provide precisely calibrated assistance at every stage of a lift. With 40kg of rated assistance capacity and 6–8 hours of continuous operation, it delivers full-shift coverage for the most demanding cargo handling roles in airports, ports, factories, and mines.

Key Features

• Powerful Four Engines – Quad-motor drive system delivers maximum assist force across the full range of waist and arm lifting motion
• Load Lift To Shoulder – Unique capability to assist lifting loads all the way to shoulder height, covering the complete vertical lift range
• Smart Intention Recognition – AI-powered system detects user movement intent in real time, automatically adjusting assist output to match lifting action and load weight
• Load Weight Adaptive – Intelligently senses and adapts to different load weights for precisely calibrated, natural-feeling assistance
• 40kg Rated Assistance – Heavy-duty assist capacity for the most demanding cargo handling and industrial lifting tasks
• 6–8 Hours Continuous Operation – Full shift endurance for uninterrupted industrial deployment
• Waist & Arm Assistance – Dual-zone support protects both the lumbar region and upper limbs simultaneously during heavy lifting
• Applicable Height Range – Adjustable fit for workers between 1.55–1.85M with waist-adjustable design

Use Cases

• Logistics and transportation: airports, ports, and warehouses
• Manufacturing: factories and mines requiring heavy load handling
• Industrial cargo handling and repetitive heavy lifting operations
• Any workplace role requiring sustained lifting of loads to shoulder height

Key Specifications

*Slight differences in weight may occur due to different configurations and fabric materials.
**Endurance data tested under laboratory conditions; actual results may vary.
