HOW AORTER TETHERS TO YOUR TASK
Primary capabilities and support styles.
AORTER is a modular, customizable exoskeleton sling. Adapt its support and attachments to your task, with options for tools, loads and different working styles.
Lift assistance
- Configured support: 5–50 lb across the series.
- Arm offload and fatigue reduction.
Bilateral load sharing
- One arm supports the other.
- Either side can share the holding demand.
Motion control
- Steering, maneuvering and controlled acceleration.
- Responsive auto draw.
Stabilization
- Steadier tool positioning.
- Less shaking during sustained holding.
Oscillation control
- Dampens vibration and back-and-forth movement.
- Smoother response through the pathway.
Grip adaptability
- Supports inverted and alternative grips.
- Less awkward wrist positioning.
Modular attachments
- Swap tool, wrist and load connections.
- Add detachable support upgrades.
PPE compatibility
- Wear with suitable gloves, helmets and workwear.
- Confirm fit with your protective gear.
Support both working hands.
Attach at both hand interfaces for two-handed steering, handling and repositioning.

HOW DOES IT WORK?
ARCHITECTING KINETIC PATHWAYS.
A connected cord shares support between your arms and the tool or load. You stay in control of steering and maneuvering while the system helps with tool demand. A true extension of the human body.
NEWTON’S THREE LAWS.
Physicist Sir Isaac Newton described how forces change motion. AORTER applies those principles to a connected support system that follows your task.
01A body in motion remains in motion.
An object remains at rest or in uniform motion unless a net force acts on it. AORTER abides by this principle: its connected support follows the task, sharing holding demand while you guide the tool.
02Force changes motion.
Net force equals mass × acceleration. AORTER establishes a supporting force pathway through the lift, while you control the object’s motion and working position.
03Every action has an equal and opposite reaction.
Interacting objects exert equal and opposite forces on each other. AORTER channels this interaction through a connected support pathway, sharing holding demand as you work.
CLASSICAL LAWS. MODERN MECHANICS.
A continuous cord carries tension through a patented force-transfer pathway, arranged like an industrial block-and-tackle system. Pulleys and linear bearings guide the cord; spring-and-pulley assemblies act as nodes that stagger the response along the pathway, helping manage unwanted energy from oscillation and tremor rather than passing each disturbance directly to the working limb.
Explore movement and spring tension in this visualization. The controls illustrate the mechanism’s fluid, continuous response, rather than measured lift assistance.
PATENTED FORCE TRANSFER.
The Kinetic Resistance Apparatus patents describe cord routing, guided sheave travel and spring-controlled resistance, including redirecting force from one arm to assist the other. Explore the architecture in the granted patents below, or follow its development in AORTER Research & Development.
Explore AORTER R&DREDIRECT THE MUSCULAR DEMAND.
Support your biceps. Share the hold.
AORTER provides biceps support to ease sustained holding demand on the working arm. Support reaches the hand, wrist and forearm, so the working arm can guide the tool without carrying the entire hold alone.
Your triceps answer.
The opposing arm and triceps take an active role in the support pathway. This redistributes muscular effort so the working biceps do not sustain the load alone. Either side can take the supporting role.
Bring the trunk into the pathway.
Configured support can bring the abdominal muscles and trunk into the pathway, with lower-body connections available as an upgrade. The pathway shares concentrated holding demand during lifting, carrying and lowering.
FOLLOW THE FORCE
One connection. A continuous force path.
Select a view to follow the cord from the shoulder exits to the supported load or limb.
LOAD SUPPORTSupport the carried object directly.
Two taut tethers terminate at the supported load so the hands can steer, carry and reposition it through the configured range.
DESIGNED FOR COGNITIVE LOAD REDUCTION.
Repeated lifting, holding and lowering can build muscular fatigue and demand constant attention. AORTER provides fatigue reduction by sharing the holding workload, leaving more attention available for positioning and surroundings.
Reduce constant correction.
A tool adds weight and balancing demands to your body. Sharing the holding load can reduce the constant corrections needed while you guide it.
Return attention to the task.
Keep more attention available for steering, maneuvering, surroundings and safety, rather than constantly correcting the tool’s weight.
PRICING + CUSTOMIZATION
Configure around your task pathway.
Start with how you work. CORE supports mobile tasks; CRANE supports sustained positioning; CUSTOM addresses a workflow that needs further development. Built to order in Ontario, with fit, working range and terms confirmed together.
Rated safety glasses or a rated full-face shield are recommended with CORE and required with CRANE. Work gloves are recommended for longer wear at the hand interface.

BEYOND A STANDARD CONFIGURATION
Do you have a custom workflow with a unique attachment or resistance profile?
Bring us the workflow. We assess CORE or CRANE first, then scope only the changes the task requires.
DESIGNED AROUND THE TASK
- CAD design, fit and attachment geometry
- Mechanical compatibility and adjustable configurations
- Field observation, iterations and review
- Tooling interfaces and joint development under a defined scope
01 · Configuration study
Review the task and wearer; choose a baseline and scope any changes.
02 · Iterative development
A scoped remote or on-site program for CAD, fitting and refinements.
03 · Enterprise partnership
Explore multiple sites, new applications or licensing under a separate agreement.
A development program requires a CORE or CRANE unit and a separately quoted service agreement. Travel, materials, testing, additional units and licensing are scoped separately. Terms and task-specific evaluation are confirmed in writing.
KNOW YOUR CONFIGURATION.
HIGH. HYBRID. LOW REPETITION.
You have chosen a pathway. Now match it to the rhythm of the work. CORE is generally better suited to hybrid and high-repetition movement; CRANE is generally better suited to low and hybrid repetition. Both can be configured across duty cycles when the task requires it.
