BETTER KNOWN TO FIREFIGHTERS AS “THE KEISER”
The Keiser Force Machine was originally designed for the Firefighter Combat Challenge® to simulate the chopping motion used in firefighting. It employs the same kinetics and ergonomics as those used with an axe, with the benefit of a safer and resource-free training and conditioning exercise. It is an efficient and durable means of training and testing emergency services personnel who use axes and sledgehammers in their occupations.
