Industry, engineering shops, warehouses, distribution terminals, VacuEasylift makes lifting easy in all conceivable working conditions. VacuEasylift makes lifting sack, bag, drum or glass safer, both for operators and for the products being handled. Based on a unique concept, our vacuum lifter has been developed into a versatile system for simpler, safer and more effective lifting.

VacuEasylift is manufactured by TAWI UK. There are models for lifting sacks and boxes, sheet wood and metal, panels and much more. The extremely smooth and quick operation is accomplished by using the same handle to lift, lower and release the load and by using the vacuum to hold and lift the load. An investment in VacuEasylift pays for itself quickly. The system is easy to install and adjust to suit the requirements of most industries and loads. VacuEasylift gives you an optimum combination of efficiency, ergonomics and economy unmatched by any other lifting system.

Vacuum lifters for high speed handling.

The VacuCobra has been specifically designed for lifting boxed goods up to 50 kg... QUICKLY.

Rotate the goods (not the lift unit) to achieve the highest possible precision. A bottom swivel and an angle adapter ensure full freedom of motion when gripping the load. The fingertip controls can be adjusted from the right to left side of the handle in seconds. The quick-release function makes sure that no time is wasted when releasing the load. The suction cup will secure the goods safely from the side as well as from the top. A lightweight aluminium jib crane provides safe, smooth and versatile operation.

Panel lifter

Low head room and more or less no operating space? VacuEasylift sheet lifter  transforms a task of moving 60 kg panels to a punching machine into a one-man job.





Lifting with low head room


Lifting wood panels often involves moving from a horizontal to a vertical position. An angle adapter with a handle is used to turn the suction foot 90 degrees. Loss of power does not cause any problems. This system covers an area of in all 5 working stations. If there is a power cut, a safety valve shuts down and the load is lowered to the floor gently and under complete control.

VacuEasylift wood industry





Door panels are moved from one work station to another. The vacuum lifter is installed in an over head system to simplify the transportation. The system is easy to install and adjust to suit the requirements of most industries, an investment that pays for itself quickly.



Lift over large areas





Steel sheets are fed into a filmcoating machine with the help of a vacuum yoke. The number of suction feet depend on the dimensions of the sheet. Vacuum is used to hold and lift the load. A swivel rotates the lift tube through 360°.




Vacuum lifter in steel industry





The suction feet used to lift panels and boards vary in design due to variations in size, weight and density of material. In some cases two suction feet on a wide yoke is sufficient. This also applies to all types of window handling. The suction cups used to lift framed windows
and wood panels are chosen based on material thickness, weight and surface finish. A yoke with two adjustable suction feet is often an effective solution. Our suction feet gaskets are made out of natural rubber and designed to fit every application.



Vacuum lifters in building industry





The lumber industry depends on VacuEasylift to lift
heavy wood panel and move large and heavy pieces of primary produce. Weights up to 250 kg is not unusual. In the picture a VM300 handles loads up to 270 kg.




VacuEasylift lifts 270 kg





VacuEasylift is a thoroughly proven system meeting the highest standards of functionality and safety when
lifting stones, sheets and panels. The suction foot holds the load securely in place with a safety factor of 2,5. The rubber gasket compensates for any irregularities in the surface.

Remote start and stop





Lifting boxes with a vacuum lifter is effective and ergonomic lifting, especially when the boxes are placed above shoulder height.




Lift from side




Headroom in packaging areas is sometimes limited. The boxes are lifted off a roller track and placed on a pallet. A vacuum lifter with shortened lift tube solves this problem and boxes can be lifted without using manual force even in small working area.



Side lifter




High frequency lifting in packaging area, boxes are moved at high speed in this facility. A free standing structure, LR-System crane system, is used to hold the lifting equipment instead of a ceiling installation
.

Box lifters


VacuCobra is most effectively used in a light-weight crane system in aluminium but can also be installed in a jib arm. A chain is sometimes used to lower the complete vacuum lifter to a suitable operating level.





Lifting boxes

Baggage lifter

A tube lifter which is easily adapted to the existing baggage handling   system. Loading and unloading carts of baggage with a vacuum lifting   system is a way to avoid potential work-related bodily injuries. Repetitive lifting of baggage with awkward postures and extended reaches is a typical example of hazardous manual handling. Peak time high baggage flow rates adds to the stressful situation.

Investing in a lifting aid must be a mutual agreement between operators and employers. Once the system has passed a live trial period it is bound to become a part of the daily routine. The common goal must be to reduce the risk of injury from hazardous manual handling, so far as is reasonably practicable.
