Easy, ergonomic lifting of wood sheets and panels
A TAWI vacuum gripper can lift, tilt, and rotate panels or sheets of wood, providing safe and ergonomic lifting for these heavy products. Able to move wood sheets up to 1,102 lbs or more horizontally and up to 551 lbs vertically, the TAWI vacuum gripper makes light work of this heavy lifting and provides a large range of motion and precision.
Super strength, super precision
Lifting and positioning flat wood products requires a great deal of power and dexterity. Positioning these cumbersome products accurately also requires a high level of precision. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the lumber industry, where lifting and moving large and heavy pieces of primary produce and wood panels is a daily requirement, with weights up to 551 lbs per piece not uncommon.
With a TAWI vacuum gripper lifting solution, you have the perfect combination of power and precision, enabling a single employee to easily manage large panels of wood ergonomically, easily, and safely.
Like doubling your workforce
In the past, a minimum of two employees was required to lift, turn, and place heavy wood panels or sheets. Now, with the TAWI vacuum lifter, a single employee can easily manage large sheet wood products up to 595 lbs.
With the TAWI vacuum gripper, one person can handle wood products up to 551 lbs, tilting them a full 180 degrees. Handle controls are ergonomically designed and fully integrated with the hoist, enabling the operator to easily maneuver the machine. With a button push, the operator can activate the vacuum, lift up/down, control the vacuum level, or tilt and release the load. Sheets and panels of all densities and dimensions are handled equally well.
