Duckbill's Agility Platform™ tool belts are ergonomically sound. They've been engineered to meet the weight distribution and comfort needs of users who carry various tools, devices and instruments from keys to hand tools to meters to communications gear and who require frequent and easy access to the tools they carry. Typically these users carry 6 to 12 lbs of gear for 4 to 12 hours each day.

The Duckbill Agility Platform™ was first developed while solving the chronic back pain experienced by police officers and other public safety professionals who are regularly carry 11.5 lbs of customized task-specific gear. The Agility Platform™ now modified to meet the needs of custodial and facility maintenance professionals in institutional, commercial, industrial and educational environments where a professional look is important but an ostentatious look won't do.

The Agility Platform™ incorporates an inner belt laced through ordinary belt loops together with an outer utility belt. The inner and outer belts are equipped with opposingVelcro® surfaces. Each individual hand tool, device and instrument module integrates an overlapping double clamshell docking design and is, itself, equipped with mating Velcro®. The selected module, regardless of its weight or design won't move or slide on the Agility belt until the user repositions or interchanges it for another. Any of the unique tool and task-specific modules can be used with any ordinary belt. But the modules will not be properly docked and they'll soon migrate to the lowest point on the waist. The lowest point is ordinarily the front. The excess weight in front causes the spine to hyperextend. The lower back pain problem remains unsolved.

The Agility Platform™ MaxCon™ (Maximum Points of Contact) system modularizes the weight and allows it to be distributed comfortably around the circumference of the waist. This approach keeps the modules in position, in balance and in reach. This approach keeps the user comfortable, alert, properly equipped and productive throughout the workday.

The Agility Platform™ incorporates the horizontal elements of Duckbill's SPMM™ (Single Platform: Many Modules) system. The SPMM™ concept supports an array of over 70 unique task, tool, device and instrument-specific modules in both the horizontal (belt) and the vertical (suspender) planes. The holster modules are positioned (or repositioned if preferences change) by the user (for comfort and ease of access) and docked (for as long as preferred or necessary) anywhere on his or her SPMM™ rig. Ergonomic comfort and optimum carrying control and flexibility are the result. Productivity is improved. Absences and health care costs from lower back pain complaints are reduced. Chronic fatigue is replaced with creativity and alertness.
