Built tough for the toughest jobs, Hero RGD™ (Rugged) is built from Nylon PA12 and titanium parts. You can carry up to 77 lbs, withstand impacts, and power through your day. Rain or shine, tackle tasks with precision and strength.
The shock-absorbing TPU palm and spring loaded fingers handle hard knocks, while the brushless motors provide a robust grip to lift, fasten, hitch, and hold tools.
With a 77lbs carrying capacity, the Hero RGD™ is built to haul heavy—whether it’s sacks of feed, hay bales, tools, or your catch of the day. And it does it all with power to spare. Pair it with the Hero FLEX™ socket for maximum comfort, breathability, sweat resistance, and all-day confidence*.
Without impacting performance. Hero RGD™ paired with the Hero FLEX™ socket and your MyoPods™ means your hand, wrist, arm, and EMG electrodes are fully waterproof. Wash your equipment and get your whole arm wet.
Hero RGD™ is fast. Really fast. With a grip that closes in just 0.4 seconds, it’s the fastest multi-grip hand ever built*.
Hero RGD™ fingers feature shock-absorbing tips and torque-limiting clutches to endure impacts. The hand comes with easy-to-replace standard urethane fingertips, and high-endurance tips built for tough work. Need to check the weather app? The touchscreen compatible fingertip lets you effortlessly access your smartphone devices and Sidekick App.
Pair your Hero RGD™ with MyoPods™ and the lightweight Hero FLEX™ socket for the ultimate experience.
Manually flex and extend the wrist up to 45° in both directions to reduce compensatory movements and make grasping objects easier. Enjoy full 360° manual rotation for ultimate freedom.
