What Problems Do TAWI Tire Lifters Solve?
Manual tire handling presents significant safety and ergonomic risks:
- High risk of back, shoulder and wrist injuries from repetitive heavy lifting
- Awkward postures when lifting tires from floor level or pallets
- Difficulty gripping large, bulky or uneven tires
- Increased risk of dropped loads during rotation or positioning
- Two-person lifts reduce efficiency
TAWI tire lifters eliminate the need for direct manual lifting by using vacuum suction to grip tires securely. Operators can lift, rotate, and position tires ergonomically without excessive bending or twisting. This reduces injury risk, improves control during handling, and ensures consistent handling.
