Shoulder MSD prevention
Le problème
87 % of construction occupational diseases: shoulder, lumbar, elbow. Major human and financial cost.
Sept Tools
Weight transferred to floor or belt: chronic strain eliminated.
Sept Tools
Construction site ergonomics solutions
A complete range of exoskeletons, trolleys and load compensators to eliminate musculoskeletal disorders on construction sites.
Musculoskeletal disorders account for 87 % of recognised occupational diseases in French construction. Each work stoppage costs an average of 60 days of absence and several thousand euros to the company, not counting the degradation of human capital and the shortage of skilled labour. Sept Tools has made ergonomics its primary innovation focus by developing a complete range of solutions compatible with its own brushless machines. Investment is typically recovered in less than twelve months thanks to recovered productivity and reduced sick leave.

Use cases
For which job sites?
OSHA / HSE compliance
Le problème
Single risk assessment requires strain rating: penalties for non-compliance.
Sept Tools
Ergonomic technical sheets provided to justify prevention measures.
Operator productivity
Le problème
Useful shift 2 h with raised arms: pace drops, quality degrades by end of shift.
Sept Tools
Relieved operator: full-day useful shift, pace x2 to x3.
Working at height
Le problème
Scissor lift and scaffolding: slow pace, high cost, fall risk.
Sept Tools
Eland and Gazelle up to 3.80 m: faster, safer and more economical.
Workers' comp grants
Le problème
Ergonomic investment hard to justify without financial aid.
Sept Tools
Technical documentation for regional workers' comp subsidy applications.
Ecosystem compatibility
Le problème
Disparate solutions that do not integrate with existing machines.
Sept Tools
Coherent Sept Tools ecosystem: brushless machines plus ergonomics designed end to end.
Frequently asked questions
Your questions, answered
What is a construction exoskeleton?
An exoskeleton is a mechanical or motorised device that relieves the operator of part of the workload. Our Scourpio is a passive exoskeleton that transfers raised arm weight to the belt, with no battery or electric motor.
What is the investment for an SME?
Investment varies based on the chosen combination. For an SME equipping two to three operators, expect a payback within twelve months thanks to recovered productivity and reduced sick leave.
Do operators need training?
Yes, half a day of training is sufficient to master an ergonomic solution. Sept Tools provides this training free of charge on delivery, on site or by video conference.
Are your solutions eligible for CARSAT subsidies?
Several regional CARSAT bodies subsidise validated ergonomic equipment investment. Sept Tools provides the technical documentation needed for subsidy application files.
What happens in case of breakdown on site?
Sept Tools national service guarantees intervention within 48 working hours in continental France. Spare parts are kept in permanent stock in Roanne to limit downtime.
