Congratulations on becoming the proud owner of the new ergoFET with wireless technology, Hoggan 

Scientific LLC renowned digital handheld push/pull force gauge.  ergoFET is one of the latest in Hoggan's 
highly functional and innovative ergonomics product line.   

The new ergoFET wireless allows testing to be done FREE of cords in conjunction with optional FDC FET 
Data Collection Software.  This provides freedom and ease of use performing force measurement tests.  Its 
compact, ergonomic design fits comfortably in your hand for direct compression testing, and is excellent for 
small to medium push and pull force test applications.

 

    Hoggan has been creating innovative solutions to real-life measurement issues since 1984, designing 
evaluation tools to empower Ergonomic, Engineering, Safety and Human Factors Professionals to objectify and 
quantify product design and human performance.  Our other ergonomics innovations include digitFET - a 
miniature push and pinch force gauge for sensitive hand and finger force measurements, and the revolutionary 
ergoPAK - measurement kit which features highly flexible, mix and match devices for measuring force, angle, 
velocity, torque, and vibration in any combination for real-time job analysis and ergonomics research.  The only 
limitation to what the ergoPAK can measure is your creativity. 

    Hoggan's ergo products are recognized for innovation, excellent quality, and long-lasting accuracy and 
reliability.  Our highly satisfied customers include automotive, aerospace, consumer products, and food 
manufacturers, as well as ergonomics consultants, universities, and research institutions worldwide. 

At Hoggan, we are constantly improving our products to better meet your needs.  

Besides the addition of the 

new wireless technology incorporated into the ergoFET line of force gauges, 

we've added a new feature to the 

ergoFET.   You can now 

select

 

the unit of measure 

to read out in

 

lbs, Newton’s, or KGF. 

We understand the value of customer feedback. Our customers provide us with many of our best product 

improvement ideas, as well as interesting new measurement applications. As you have comments and 
suggestions, we'd love to hear from you

In the meantime, we hope you enjoy using your ergoFET

 

with new wireless technology capability

 

immediately, and for many years to come.
