PAIS-M100
Battery-powered 4.7 kg lumbar-assist suit with lifting, lowering-brake, posture-hold and walking-assistance functions.
Product Overview
PAIS-M100 is a battery-powered, motor-assisted lumbar-support suit developed and sold by Power Assist International. The manufacturer lists four functions: assistance during lifting (described as equivalent to 10–15 kg of waist assistance), braking assistance when lowering, posture-hold support for stooped work, and walking assistance. The 10–15 kg figure is the manufacturer’s description, not an independently measured result.
Weight 4.7 kg; electric motor and battery; dimensions H 450 × W 420–550 × D 250–350 mm; fit 150–185 cm and 45–90 kg; operating temperature 0–40°C. The manufacturer describes it as water-resistant for everyday conditions but gives no IP rating on the reviewed page. Power Assist International lists a Japanese base price of ¥1,320,000 excluding tax (US$8,418 approximate exchange equivalent using ECB reference rates from 23 October 2026; this is not a US sale price).
