Product Overview
Assist Vest is Alpha Giken’s powered, wearable lift-assist suit for repeated lifting and stooped work. The manufacturer lists a 2 kg product weight, up to four hours of operation, AC-adapter charging, M size for users under 165 cm and L size for users 165 cm or taller, and an operating range of −10 to 40 °C. Alpha Giken’s maximum assistance figure is 15.5 kg; this is a manufacturer claim, not an independently measured reduction in worker load.
The official page identifies agriculture, logistics, manufacturing and care-related work as relevant settings. It lists a starting price of ¥313,500 including Japanese tax and says rental-purchase is available. The current page uses the general product name “Assist Vest”; no AL-1 or AL-2 model designation was found, so this profile does not invent separate variants.
Alpha Giken routes orders through its Japanese order form. Confirm current configuration, delivery and price with the manufacturer before purchase.
