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 hoists, trolleys or workplace transport equipment, without interrupting normal work activities.

Around one third of sickness absence in the UK healthcare sector is linked to musculoskeletal disorders and physical overload, affecting both care quality and staff wellbeing. ISO/TR 12296, ISO 11228-2 and HSE manual handling guidance provide frameworks for assessing physical strain. However, demonstrating compliance during daily work activities can be challenging. An ergomeasurement solves this by objectively measuring the actual push and pull forces applied during manual handling tasks.
It attaches directly to the product’s handles or push bar and measures all push and pull forces while the user performs normal tasks. It fits seamlessly into daily working practices, providing accurate workplace ergonomic data.
After an ergomeasurement session, the esense measurement report shows:
The upper body ergometer feature focuses on the effort applied through the arms and shoulders. It highlights areas of excessive strain, supporting ergonomic and manual handling improvements that reduce the risk of injury and fatigue.
With the esense Ergometer, organisations gain objective insight into workplace physical strain, helping to prevent injuries and promote safe and sustainable working conditions.
What others say
"...I can now push with just one hand"
“The previous trolley was very difficult to drive and caused me pain. I’m very satisfied with the new drive. I can now push with just one hand, even with my frozen shoulder.”

"...chance to embed risk prevention and staff welfare"
“Budgets must be justified, but we knew any injury causing extended sick leave would significantly impact staffing. This was our chance to embed risk prevention and staff welfare into our capital replacement program.”

"...eliminates any effort required during movement"
“The motorised fifth wheel is activated by a simple touch on the push handles and eliminates any effort required during initial movement, steering and turning.”

"...rewarded for making only a small physical effort."
“The more gentle you control the lift, the easier it moves. You are rewarded for making only a small physical effort.”
