Duckbill
Suspenders
The purpose-built Duckbill suspender
arrangement (along with the Duckbill belt)
is fundamental to our platform strategies. The
Velcro®-backed suspenders allows proper, ergonomic and
adjustable weight allocation of Duckbill hand tool, device
and instrument modules.
The suspender component of our platform strategy is most
beneficial when the user is carrying more than 10 lbs of
gear. It integrates AXIAlign
and Power
Zone Design(PZD) principles to keep
the user as erect as possible throughout the work day and
reduces the number of bending, twisting, lifting and shearing
events.
Casual or sloppy tool weight allocation leads to neck,
shoulder, back, hip and knee pain or MSD's (Muscular Skeletal
Disorders). Read more about the ergonomic and health pitfalls
of carrying the excessive weight of tools and gear improperly

tool and gear access while wearing a fall protection harness.
All of our suspenders are available in sizes: Small, Medium,
Large, Big and Tall to fit users from 5'0"/100 lbs to 6'8"/350
lbs.
Our suspender features include:
- Velcro®-backed vertical straps are adjustable
and allow positioning of certain Duckbill modules anywhere
on the vertical brace.
- Heavy duty engineered dorsal yoke distributes weight
evenly and vertically rather than a straining shoulder
and neck criss-cross design.
- Adjustable chest belt eliminates shoulder creep and
allows an unbuckled belt to not lose tool load.
- Extra wide padded shoulder pads won't slide out of
position.
- Non-metal suspender ends will never snap free of
belt regardless of weight carried.
- Integrated yoke hook allows easy storage and retrieval.
- Models available with 3 rear struts for better weight
distribution.
- Models avalable to work specifically with the 3M
Turbo PAPR respirator system.
