Does the Apex 2 assist when lifting heavy objects?

Workers Lift the Same Loads with Less Risk of Injury

The Apex 2 exosuit can definitely assist with lifting. The Apex 2 does not increase one's strength, but it does reduce fatigue and strain on the back. 

There is no maximum weight limit on the Apex 2, per se. Workers can typically lift the same loads they can safely lift without the suit. The Apex 2 is not powered and has no motors or batteries, so workers should not try to lift heavier loads than they can handle safely under normal conditions.
