Relieving back strain in retail – with the BionicBack and BionicBack Move
In the retail sector, physical strain is part of day-to-day work. Standing for long periods, frequent bending, and lifting and setting down goods – day after day, this puts strain on the back and spine. High peaks of strain occur particularly when restocking shelves, during order picking or in cold storage areas.
With the BionicBack and the BionicBack Move, you get targeted support for precisely these movements. Both systems have been developed to relieve strain on the back whilst bending and lifting, promote a more ergonomic posture and noticeably reduce fatigue.
This helps you maintain your performance throughout your entire shift.
Ergonomic support in day-to-day retail and warehouse operations
Whether in wholesale, retail or chain stores, many tasks are repeated hundreds of times a day. It is precisely these repetitive movements that lead to strain in the long term. The BionicBack supports movement from a bent-over position and reduces strain on the lower back – without restricting natural mobility.
The BionicBack Move is also designed to be particularly lightweight and comfortable – ideal for dynamic tasks on the shop floor or at the till.
Typical applications in the retail sector
Order Picking & Restocking
As workers constantly bend down and lift goods, the exoskeletons assist with every single movement. This takes the strain off the back muscles and ensures that the work can be carried out in a controlled manner, even at a high pace.
Stocking shelves
Unfavourable postures are particularly likely to occur when working at shelving levels close to the floor. The exoskeleton helps to make movements more ergonomic and reduce peaks in physical strain.
Cashier duties & operations
The BionicBack Move remains comfortable to wear even during standing or seated work. It promotes a stable, ergonomic posture – for greater comfort during long shifts.
Cold stores & fresh produce sections
The system can be used without any problems even under cold-weather clothing. It continues to provide reliable support – even when working in chilled environments.
Fazit
In the retail sector, physically demanding movements are unavoidable. What matters is how you deal with them. With the BionicBack and the BionicBack Move, you can specifically reduce the strain of bending and lifting, and create a working environment that keeps you healthy in the long term. Ergonomic support is not a luxury – it’s a competitive advantage.
