Lifting Plastic Bags & Sacks

TAWI presents a comprehensive selection of vacuum lifting products designed to facilitate the safe lifting and movement of plastic bags and sacks, significantly reducing the risk of damage to the sacks and minimising the potential for injury. 

Plastic bags often have different types of surfaces and dimensions, which makes gripping them awkward. Our bag lifters eliminate this challenge and reduces the risk of workplace injuries, making for a productive and efficient operation.

Investing in TAWI's vacuum lifting solutions offers a strong return on investment, with systems that pay for themselves over time. Our bag lifters give all operators the ability to have precise and weightless control of even the heaviest, most cumbersome plastic bag. This makes it is easier to achieve workplace diversity, since all workers can lift the same loads, no matter what their size or strength is.

Efficient Baggage Handling

Efficient Baggage Handling

TAWI’s baggage lifting solutions are ergonomic vacuum-based systems for airports and ports that reduce physical strain and injury risk for baggage handlers while maintaining or increasing productivity. They are designed to work in low‑headroom, confined baggage areas and can be retrofitted into existing infrastructure or integrated in new baggage handling systems to transform heavy manual lifting into safer, user‑friendly tasks.

  • Ergonomic baggage handling systems that can reduce more than 80% of the load on the body, minimising work‑related strain injuries while increasing productivity.
  • Vacuum lifters that can grip almost any type of baggage (including soft bags and backpacks), lifting up to 32 kg in standard “in‑gauge” areas and up to 60 kg in out‑of‑gauge areas.
  • Flexible suction foot with angle adapter and 360° swivel, allowing bags to be picked from the side and rotated freely for safe, precise handling in tight spaces.
  • Patented low‑headroom vacuum lifting equipment tailored to narrow, confined airport baggage areas with limited working space.
  • Proven benefits reported by users and independent studies: fewer injuries, less shoulder and back pain, improved workplace safety, and sustained or increased throughput in baggage handling operations.
