Bionic Lift is an authorized representative and dealer/distributor of Skelex exoskeleton suits and performs research & development, industry analysis, sales, marketing, and process improvement through exoskeleton use.  Additionally, Bionic Lift assists organizations with innovation by using their awareness of customer needs gained during active duty service in the military and industry.

Bionic Lift CEO, USAF Brigadier General (ret) Carl Buhler stated "within the U.S. military, hundreds of thousands of maintenance, logistics, and support personnel—uniformed and civilian—perform a myriad of daily tasks involving repetitive motion, as well as awkward lateral and overhead arm & shoulder movement, often in difficult environments. The subsequent loss of productivity, due to worker fatigue and injury, has an adverse impact on readiness & costs."

Bionic Lift COO, USAF Chief Master Sergeant (ret) Greg Bernitt added "exoskeletons are a reliable way companies can help prevent work-related musculoskeletal disorders. Exoskeletons are a means to augment the human weapon system with personal protective equipment."
