With efficient roll handling equipment, film rolls are easily mounted in the packing machine. TAWI offers several innovative solutions for efficient roll handling.

Efficient roll handling

Electric lifting trolleys for efficient roll handling

Our series of electric lifting trolleys can be combined with various tools for efficient roll handling. A Coregripper tool picks up the roll from a vertical position and turns it to horizontal position so that you can easily mount it on a machine axis. The roller boom seen in these photos also offer easy and ergonomic roll handling. Combined with the innovative QuickLoad feature, the lifter will automatically stop at exactly the right position, allowing the user to easily push the roll over on the machine axis. That's what we call smart lifting.

Great solutions for the wood processing industry

21 February 2017

At TAWI, our focus is not on products, but on providing solutions to your specific needs. Our devoted team of skilled design engineers work closely together with our experienced installation engineers to design and manufacture customised products that meet your specific requirements.


Here is one special solution that our engineers produced for a customer who needed to handle wooden planks up to 10 meters. A TAWIGrip is mounted on a  Lyftman steel crane system, installed on wooden beams with extensions and struts to reach the desired level of suspension for the crane system and the tool. The tool, combined with an electrical chain trolley, is equipped with four suction cups and a fully integrated handle. This allows the operator to easily transport the large planks to a saw machine, using the TAWIGrip tool. Easy, ergonomical, and efficient.

See the system in action here.

Speaking of wood, we have also developed some great solutions for lifting and tilting big wooden sheets, doors etc. With an extended, flexible handle, adapted to the size of the sheet, the operator can easily control the load from a comfortable and safe distance.

In this specific solution, the TAWIGrip is suspended in a Lyftman under-braced jib arm, allowing the operator to move their 80 kg wooden doors easily, even though the working area is small and ceiling height is low.

The door is gripped and picked up from a  vertical position and tilted 90 degrees into a horizontal position. It is rotated 90 degrees in the horisontal plane and then tilted to be placed in vertical position in the rack.



TAWIGrip vacuum gripper is an ergonomical solution for lifting, tilting and rotating sheet metal, glass and laminated panels. With a safe, two-handed release function, easy-to-use control board and a light weight design it makes heavy lifting easy.

Safety - regular inspections

21 December 2016




Safety and ergonomics are in focus when we design our products. It's important to always follow the inspection instructions in our manuals. If any part of the lifting system show signs of wear or other damage it must be replaced immediately. The system must not be used before the damaged part is replaced. Always safety first!

In some countries the inspection is mandatory of the lifting equipment by a third party, after installation and then on a yearly basis. Check the regulations in your country.
