Reducing strain. Improving comfort. Supporting workers for the long term 🌲

A recent case study from Auxivo highlights how exoskeleton technology is helping forestry workers reduce physical strain during demanding tasks such as wood harvesting, planting and fence building.

The team tested both the LiftSuit and OmniSuit exoskeletons, designed to support the lower back, shoulders and arms during lifting, carrying and overhead work. What started with some initial scepticism quickly became part of the team's daily routine, with users reporting improved posture, reduced fatigue and greater comfort throughout the working day.

At SpanSet, we're proud to partner with Auxivo and bring innovative workplace solutions to industries where physical demands are high and worker wellbeing is critical.

Because supporting people isn't just about safety today, it's about protecting their long-term health and performance too.

What does a worker in full PPE, carrying tools and equipment, actually weigh?⚠️

For years, fall arrest lanyards have traditionally been tested using a 100kg mass. But today's workers often carry significantly more weight than this, creating a gap between testing assumptions and real-world conditions.

That's why SpanSet developed the SP150 Energy Absorbing Lanyard Range.

Designed, tested and certified using a 150kg test mass, the SP150 provides improved protection for a wider range of workers while delivering enhanced performance and reduced clearance distances.

✔ Certified to EN355 using a 150kg mass
✔ Published clearance data for 50kg, 100kg and 150kg users
✔ Improved tear-web performance for controlled energy absorption
✔ Compact design for greater effective working length
✔ Easier inspection and improved durability
✔ Available in single and twin-leg configurations

For over 25 years, SpanSet has been developing fall arrest solutions that go beyond minimum standards and focus on real-world worker safety.

From Middlewich to Japan 🌏

Recently, our Training Manager, Sam, travelled to Japan to support SpanSet RUD Japan, Ariga and Sankyo with the implementation of the Gotcha® Rescue System.

During his visit, Sam delivered training and product knowledge sessions focused on the importance of rescue planning within the scaffolding industry, helping the teams develop the confidence, competence and understanding needed to promote and support Gotcha® within their market.

It's fantastic to see the growing commitment to rescue awareness internationally and to work alongside partners who are passionate about improving safety at height.

As Sam said:

"It was a great experience to see the amazing Japanese culture and their approach to safety. With the help of SpanSet RUD, Ariga and Sankyo, we are highlighting the importance of rescue in the scaffolding industry."

A huge thank you to the teams at SpanSet RUD Japan, Ariga and Sankyo for the warm welcome and hospitality. We've loved seeing the amazing photos from the trip and look forward to continuing our work together to help make rescue readiness a priority across the industry.

What a fantastic couple of days at the UK Ports Conference 2026 ⚓

A huge thank you to everyone who stopped by to meet Stuart from SpanSet UK and Nick from Secutex, Nick joined us all the way from Germany to showcase some of the innovative lifting and protection solutions available to the ports and maritime industry.

Throughout the event, we had some great conversations around safer, more efficient lifting operations, inspection services, asset management and specialist solutions for handling challenging loads within ports and logistics environments.

Alongside SpanSet's lifting expertise, Secutex demonstrated why they are recognised worldwide as specialists in protective solutions for lifting, transporting and storage. Their tailored textile protection systems help reduce wear, damage and risk in demanding industrial applications where standard solutions simply aren't enough.

It was fantastic to connect with so many industry professionals, share knowledge and build new relationships across the sector.
