How esense drive support works

How does esense intuitive drive support work?

Esense intuitive drive support makes heavy mobile equipment easier to move by responding directly to the user’s natural movement. The system combines an electric drive wheel with force sensors that measure the user’s push and pull input. Based on this input, the system instantly provides proportional electric drive assistance.

The principle is similar to an electric bicycle: the more force you apply, the more support the system provides. This makes heavy mobile equipment in healthcare, logistics and manufacturing easier to move while reducing push and pull forces and physical strain.

Intelligent support that adapts to you

Unlike traditional powered systems that rely on buttons or joysticks, esense responds directly to the user’s natural push and pull input. The force sensors detect the user’s input and the drive wheel immediately provides smooth, proportional assistance. This enables controlled, precise movement in confined spaces, on slopes and across thresholds.

Flexible integration across mobile equipment

Esense intuitive drive support is available in two configurations:

• Built-in integration: engineered into new mobile equipment for seamless OEM integration.

• FieldFit retrofit: a ready-to-install solution for upgrading existing trolleys with electric drive assistance.

Whether integrated during production or added to existing equipment, esense helps improve mobility, workplace ergonomics and operational efficiency. Esense drive support is used across healthcare, hospitality & foodservice, logistics & warehousing and industry & manufacturing, from hospital beds and patient lifts to warehouse trolleys, mobile workstations and industrial transport equipment.
