Reel handling
Effortless reel handling all day, every day
Moving reels from A to B? Trying to manage efficient reel handling without lifting aids? It’s strenuous work.
Reels are difficult to lift and transport by their design, often heavy, big and ungainly. Repetitive lifting of reels can put much strain on the back, knees and shoulders. Safety and ergonomics are important aspects in a workplace and using correct lifting aids can significantly increase both.
TAWI manufactures lifting solutions designed to achieve an optimal combination of efficiency, safety and ergonomics. With a lifting trolley from TAWI, the operator can pick up a reel vertically from a pallet, tilt it to a horizontal position and move the roll from A to B, effortlessly.
If you need to move reels over large areas in your facilities or handle the same type of reel at several locations, a TAWI lifting trolley is a great solution. The trolley is easy to push and turn, small enough to pass through narrow passages and doors, yet strong enough to handle reels up to 250 kg.
SCA in Sweden is one of many companies benefitting from TAWI Lifting Trolleys in their production. Handling many big and bulky rolls daily, SCA looked for a solution to minimise the strain on workers’ backs, shoulders and knees. Investing in six trolleys from TAWI has made it possible for the workers to pick up reels vertically and horizontally, transport the rolls and mount them in machines with increased speed and minimum effort.
