Wood, Steel, & Glass Lifting & Handling
TAWI provides ergonomic wood, steel and glass lifting solutions for companies handling heavy, bulky or delicate materials. Our vacuum lifters and lifting systems make it easier to lift, tilt, move and position wooden boards, sheet metal, glass panels, plastic sheets and other large components safely and efficiently. Operators can reduce manual strain, improve productivity and streamline everyday processes such as stacking, palletising, and CNC loading.
How can TAWI support your business?
In today’s demanding wood and steel processing industries, companies must be fast, flexible, and dependable. Constant streamlining and internal optimisation 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.
TAWI helps manufacturers improve the material handling of sheets with ergonomic lifting equipment designed for wood panels, sheet metal, glass sheets, plastic boards and associated components. With the right lifting device, one operator can lift, tilt and position materials safely, helping your business improve efficiency, reduce strain and maintain a more flexible workforce.
Where can TAWI improve your material handling processes?
Cost-effective stacking and palletising
Handling wood, plastic, metal or glass sheets often requires repeated lifting between pallets, machines and workstations. These lifts can be physically demanding, especially when operators need to tilt boards or panels between horizontal and vertical positions.
TAWI vacuum lifting solutions allow employees to lift, tilt and position sheets in a safe, controlled and ergonomic way. The user-friendly controls are quick to learn, so stacking and palletising sheets can become a faster, safer and more cost-effective process that more employees can perform.
Heavy lifting of wood, metal & glass
Wood panels, metal sheets and glass sheets can be difficult to handle because they are often large, heavy and sensitive to surface damage. TAWI lifting equipment gives operators the strength, control and flexibility needed for safe wood panel lifting, sheet metal lifting and glass sheet handling.
Tasks that previously required two people can often be performed safely by one operator using a TAWI vacuum lifter or hoist lift. The system carries the full weight of the load, helping reduce strain on employees while enabling precise transport and positioning of heavy, bulky materials. Also, 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.
