How to make lifting a one man show!

The challenge of social distancing

Picking goods faster without compromising safety is a tough challenge as the pressure on order fulfilment centres grows due to an increase in online shopping during the Corona pandemic. Logistic centres and warehouses need to pick orders faster while maintaining a safe social distance between workers. We also see trends within manufacturing as sales to end consumers skyrockets. This is due to people working from home and avoiding visits in public areas. Hence the consumer behaviour change. This imposes higher levels of items to be managed and potential adjustments in production and supply chain. At the same time health and safety regulations are more critical than ever before. By enabling one person to lift for two, TAWI offers a solution to all these challenges. Want to learn more? Register for our one-man-show webinar.

The mobile order picker

TAWI Mobile Order Picker (MOP) is a mobile vacuum lifter compatible with any kind of forklift, LLOP or pallet jack, allowing operators to use it wherever they need to lift something. The MOP can always be used together with existing equipment, no adjustments needed. Thanks to the adjustable tower height of the unit operators can reach into pallet racks or other low headroom areas giving them the greatest possible benefit in any kind of lifting operation.

The MOP removes 100% of the weight of the products that the operators currently lifts, and its ergonomic and user-friendly controls allows operators to move at speed and keep up with their day to day tasks.

 The mobile order picker, which is a single operator lifting aid, eliminates the need for two persons pick teams, allowing companies to manage their staff and shifts more efficiently. As an additional benefit it also helps reduce the number of damaged items due to operators dropping the products when they are heavy or difficult to grip.

Operators can pick up the unit with any kind of forklift and drive it wherever they need it. The vacuum lifter is mounted on an articulating jib arm offering great reach and flexibility. Various vacuum lifter models can be used depending on the lifting capacity needed, and the jib arm can handle up to 80 kg loads. Electronically driven height adjustment allows the unit to easily adapt to different lifting heights and height limitations. Read more here.
