Esense Ergometer

Objective force measurement in real working conditions

The Ergometer is a precise measuring instrument that records push and pull forces in daily work environments. It’s ideal for assessing physical load while moving mobile equipment such as patient lifts, carts or trolleys, without interrupting normal work activities.

Why choose the Esense Ergometer?

Physical overload is a major cause of workplace injury and absenteeism across healthcare, logistics, and industrial sectors, affecting both care quality and employee well-being. International standards such as ISO/TR 12296 and ISO 11228-2 provide ergonomic guidance for manual handling tasks. However, assessing workplace compliance during daily operations can be challenging. An ergomeasurement solves this by objectively measuring the actual push and pull forces used during daily work activities.
