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.
In a world-first, Hero RGD is IP67 waterproof and can be submerged underwater for up to 30 minutes at a depth of up to 3 feet without impacting performance. Use under running water to wash your truck, hose down equipment, or irrigate crops in the field.
With 77lb carrying capacity Hero RGD lets you haul heavy loads – throw a sack of feed, hay bales, load tools, your catch of the day – and still have power to spare. Pair your Hero RGD with a Hero Flex [LINK] socket for ultimate comfort, breathability, sweat resistance, and confidence.*
*Your personal carrying capacity may differ, depending on the suspension your specific prosthesis.
The 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*.
*Based on available published technical specifications of power/fist grip finger closing time.
The Hero RGD has a world-first powerful lithium-ion battery integrated directly into the hand. The battery is designed for a full day of heavy usage, powering over 1,200 open/close cycles between 4-hour charges. Sow. Grow. Reap. Repeat. Easily rechargeable on the go with a USB-C charge port.
Hero RGD fingers feature shock-absorbing tips and torque-limiting clutches to endure impacts. The hand comes with easy-to-replace standard silicon fingertips, and high-endurance tips built for tough work. Need to check the weather? Enjoy fingertips that are touchscreen compatible, letting you effortlessly access your smartphone and Sidekick App.
