Flexible baggage handling solutions for any environment

The flexibility of the TAWI products means that we can overcome many physical constraints in any cruise terminal – or airport baggage hall. Whether retrofitting into an existing terminal or planning for a new building, we can offer easy-lifting solutions that will adapt to the current or required infrastructure. We take responsibility for the design, ensure we understand the customer’s processes and work closely with integrators and architects.

The earlier we become involved with the baggage handling system in an airport development project, the better the outcome.

TAWI’s design engineers develop lifting devices in collaboration with customers, integrators and architects, whether these lift assist systems are retrofitted or specified into a baggage system from the outset. We use 3D design packages such as SOLID WORKS, NAVIS or REVIT to ease this process, enabling efficient project coordination with design team members. The earlier we can become involved in a project, the better the outcome – space can be safeguarded and the solution less compromised, benefitting the end-user.

Let our ergonomic baggage handling solutions help lift your business.

Existing users of TAWI’s baggage lift have highlighted increased productivity, proper lifting techniques, improved workplace safety and reduced work-related injuries at many airports. Independent studies show that the load on the body is reduced by more than 80% with a bonus of maintained or increased productivity. We’re incredibly proud to have created a vacuum lift system that helps every baggage handler eliminate their physical pain, all thanks to TAWI’s ergonomic vacuum lift assist.
