Wire Hoist (High Speed)
High speed, precision goods lifting up to 120kg
The TAWI wire hoist is one of the fastest wire rope hoists available, built for operations that need to move goods quickly, accurately, and safely. With variable speed control, a comfortable one-hand joystick, and a quick-coupling tool system, it handles everything from boxes and crates to drums, reels, and components, up to 120kg. The VH 120 is one of several options for reel handling with wire hoists, lifting loads up to 120kg gripped from the core or the outside. It pairs well with floor-based trolleys where heavier or combined workflows are involved.
Supplied and supported locally by SCHE, with on-site evaluation, installation, and after-sales service.

Reduce Manual Handling Risk
Repetitive lifting and awkward load handling are among the most common causes of workplace injury in production and warehouse environments. The TAWI wire hoist removes the physical strain by transferring load weight to the hoist — operators guide rather than carry. This supports compliance with South African OHS Act requirements for mechanical assistance where loads exceed safe manual handling limits.
