Logismarket, the Industrial Directory.

TAWI-Protema has been manufacturing personal lifting and handling equipment since 1976. Our small, flexible and lightweight equipment has rapidly and steadily allowed us to become the market leader that we are today.

Many studies have proven that frequent lifting of lighter goods can be harmful and this is where we come into the picture.

An interpretation of the EC Manual Handling Directive (90/269/EEC) and its associated frameworks suggest a maximum weight of 25 kg/55 lbs at waist height close to the body (much less in other lifting situations). Isn't this limit exceeded almost every day by people performing work involving manual handling?

Together with customers around the world, we have been continuously developing our standard programme as well as creating completely new solutions.

A good example of this is the squeezing device - The Easy Squeeze - which transforms our lifting device into a very effective product for many businesses. Industrial injuries can be avoided when you use the proper tools.

TAWI UK lifting devices not only increase profitability, effectiveness, flexibility and make employees life easier at the workplace, they also prevent industrial accidents. Approximately 34% of all industrial injuries are caused due to frequent lifting of lighter goods. Manual handling of goods carry a high risk factor and often result in worker absenteeism through sickness. Interruption of production can be costly and difficult to recoup.
