About

About TAWI - a brand by piab group TAWI provides smart lifting solutions that are transforming how woodworking professionals handle heavy and awkward materials. From plywood and MDF sheets to cabinetry components, doors, and panels, our vacuum lifters and ergonomic lifting trolleys are designed to make manual handling safer, faster, and more efficient on the production floor. Woodworking environments often require lifting large, flat, or heavy items in tight spaces. TAWI’s solutions are engineered to meet these challenges head-on, reducing strain on workers while maintaining precise control over every lift. Whether you’re flipping panels, stacking sheets, or loading CNC machines, our systems improve productivity without compromising safety or material integrity. Our vacuum lifters use a reliable suction system that allows a single operator to lift, tilt, or rotate wood components effortlessly. For tasks like assembling furniture, transporting cabinet doors, or managing delicate veneer panels, our trolleys and custom attachments provide the flexibility and finesse needed to move products without damage. By reducing the physical demands of lifting, TAWI equipment minimizes the risk of repetitive strain injuries and helps companies retain skilled labor in a competitive market. Our solutions also help reduce product waste from drops or scratches—protecting both workers and materials. With decades of experience and a commitment to innovation, TAWI works closely with woodworking professionals to tailor solutions that fit seamlessly into your workflow. From small workshops to large-scale manufacturing plants, our goal is to simplify material handling and help you work smarter, not harder.
