Video | Willmott Dixon starts using bionic vest on site

Willmott Dixon workers have reported positive feedback from using the bionic vest, unveiled by the company last year, on site.

Willmott Dixon is partnering with robotics company Eksobionics, which has devised an upper body exoskeleton vest – called the Eksovest – that supports the arms during heavy lifting.

Funded by Eureka, Willmott Dixon’s central research and development fund, the vest, which costs approximately £5,650, has been used on the Cardiff West Community High School site.
