Safe & Ergonomic Battery Lifting Equipment for Industry

How Do We Lift Batteries?

We lift batteries with ergonomic and efficient equipment designed to reduce strain and increase precision. Our solutions lifts batteries for e.g. automotive industry, material handling and energy solutions such as batteries for wind turbines.

We have tools for batteries of varies shape and sizes, smooth or grooved surfaces etc. TAWI battery lifting systems are trusted by manufacturers in Sweden, Germany, the US and beyond. Depending on your workflow, we offer vacuum lifters, lifting trolleys, and wire hoists that make battery handling safe, reliable, and effortless.

Types of Battery Lifters

Multifunctional Vacuum Lifter
The most adaptable tool in our range, it handles awkward battery shapes and weights, up to 270 kg, with ease using vacuum power and ergonomic handle. 

Lifting Trolleys
Electric, mobile trolleys built to move heavy components across your workspace. Add a custom gripping tool or platform to securely hold batteries in transit.

Precision Wire Hoist
Ideal for precise placement in assembly or compact areas. Fast and accurate, tailored for delicate or sensitive lifts.

Common challenges in manual handling of batteries

Ergonomic Stress & Injury Risk

Handling batteries manually often exposes workers to forceful lifting, awkward postures, and repetitive movements, all key contributors to musculoskeletal disorders. These strains commonly affect the lower back, shoulders, and upper limbs, and can result in long-term pain, injuries, and costly downtime.

Safe Handling of Heavy Batteries

Even with ideal lifting conditions, the NIOSH recommended weight limit is about 23 kg for two-handed lifts. Many industrial battery installations significantly exceed this threshold, especially when positioning above waist or shoulder heights, making manual lifting hazardous.

Risk of Drops and Crushing

Batteries are dense and rigid. If dropped or mishandled, they can crack, leak, or inflict crush injuries, posing risks to both operators and surrounding infrastructure.
