Wood, Steel, & Glass Lifting & Handling
TAWI provides a range of lifting solutions for the wood, steel, and glass industries, enabling safe and efficient handling of heavy, bulky materials like wooden boards and metal sheets. With TAWI’s user-friendly vacuum lifters, companies can improve productivity, reduce worker strain, and streamline processes like stacking, palletizing, and CNC loading.
In today’s demanding wood and steel processing industries, companies must be fast, flexible, and dependable. Constant streamlining and internal optimization helps companies stay strong and competitive. It’s necessary to evaluate how lifting heavy, cumbersome wooden boards or metal sheets manually often isn’t the safest or most efficient option.
To help companies meet these demands – and to increase productivity and profit – TAWI offers a wide range of wood and sheet metal lifting devices for material handling of sheets, metal, wood panels, and associated components. With a TAWI lifting device, your company can profit from increased efficiency and stay at the forefront of your industry.
Where can TAWI improve your material handling processes?
Cost-effective stacking and palletizing
Handling sheets of wood, plastic, metal, or glass usually entails many liftings to and from pallets and machines, which puts employees at risk for injuries. Also, palletizing sheets and board often requires tilting them between horizontal and vertical positions – a movement that is difficult and strenuous when done without lifting aids.
TAWI vacuum lifting solutions allow employees to lift and tilt items in a safe, efficient, and ergonomic manner. Operators learn the user-friendly controls quickly, so stacking and palletizing sheets can become a problem-free and cost-effective process any employee can complete. This gives your business improved productivity as well as greater flexibility and resistance to changes in staffing or unexpected staff absences.
Heavy lifting of wood, metal & glass
Each operation has unique manufacturing and assembly processes. The combination of extremely heavy material and sensitive surfaces requires a balance of strength, dexterity, and adaptability. This requires a solution that is as flexible as it is rigorous, like TAWI’s flexible component-based system.
The two-person task of handling long and heavy sheets can now be safely performed by one operator using a TAWI vacuum lifter or hoist lift. Our solutions lift the full weight of the load to prevent strain on workers’ bodies and decrease the risk of injuries. Also, the precise transporting and positioning of heavy, bulky materials with a TAWI system means the sheets don’t get damaged during the material handling process.

CNC loading and unloading
Loading and unloading CNC machines often involves moving heavy boards, panels and sheet materials such as plywood, MDF, plastic and non-ferrous metals. Without lifting equipment, operators may need to reach over the machine or lift from awkward positions, which puts the employee’s safety and the product at risk. Also, many materials require two people to lift them, which can be time consuming and costly work process.
TAWI vacuum lifters support safer and more efficient CNC loading by helping operators lift, move and position materials with precision. One employee can load and unload the CNC machine ergonomically and quickly, while the lifting system handles the heavy work.
