Henchman Lifting Harness

Harness for hedge trimmers, strimmers and more

Long, repetitive garden tasks can lead to aches and pains, fatigue and even more serious issues like hand arm vibration and repetitive strain injury. This is particularly problematic when you’ve got a large task at hand or use power tools regularly.

The Henchman Lifting Harness takes up to 100% of the weight from heavy gardening tools. This lifting harness allows users to handle the weight of hedge trimmers or other handheld tools from 3kg up to 15kg, with the Harness providing up to 7.5kg of support.

It doesn’t limit movement, providing you with the freedom to work comfortably, confidently and safely in extended periods of time. It’s made from rust-resistant aluminium and can be adjusted to suit your height and posture.

The Henchman Harness has already been recognised for its outstanding design and won two prestigious awards. It has been hailed the best product in the “Outdoor Equipment” category at the European Product Design Awards 2023 and in the "Garden Product" category at the iF Design Awards 2024.

Safer working

Whether you’re trimming hedges or strimming grass, you can use our harness to lessen the load and minimise strain. It’s suitable for a variety of tools and tasks to help keep gardens neat and tidy, while taking 100% of the weight off your shoulders and shifting it to your hips instead. Our hedge trimmer harness is lightweight and helps with posture, meaning you can work with more precision and energy than before.

Simply attach your harness to your tool and adjust the overhead boom arm as needed. The harness itself is worn like a rucksack and has a number of settings to suit your height and weight.
