Smarter lifting with the Tiller®-liftmobile
Our main goal is to make sure no one suffers back pain anymore. But the Tiller®-liftmobile has a few more great advantages:
- More efficiency by working with the liftmobile: one man can lift things where often 2 or 3 men are needed;
- Because the liftmobile takes your lifting work off your hands, you won't have an overload on your body and you will remain sustainable and employable for longer.
Safe lifting and healthy working with the liftmobile
With the Tiller®-liftmobile you ensure safe and healthy work when lifting and assembling. The unique system of an automatic brake and two electric motors, makes it easy to balance the liftmobile. This system ensures that it is safe and there is no strain on your body. You thus prevent back injuries and consequently work stoppages.
European laws around manual handling of loads (EU-OSHA)
Employers shall take appropriate organizational measures, or shall use the appropriate means, in particular mechanical equipment, in order to avoid the need for the manual handling of loads by workers. The Directive lays down minimum health and safety requirements for the manual handling of loads where there is a risk particularly of back injury to workers (Directive 90/269/EEC - manual handling of loads).
NIOSH-method (an EU-OSHA approved method)
Employers must ensure that employees can lift safely. The American Institute for Safety and Health has created the NIOSH method NIOSH method for this purpose. The method uses a formula to calculate the maximum amount you can lift without affecting your health. Ideally, that weight should be a maximum of 23 kilograms, but it is usually lower. Frequent or incorrect lifting can also cause workers to lose their jobs.
Occupational diseases worldwide in most recent figures
Musculoskeletal conditions are also the highest contributor to the global need for rehabilitation. Low back pain is the main contributor to the overall burden of musculoskeletal conditions (570 million prevalent cases worldwide, responsible for 7.4% of global YLDs).

While the prevalence of musculoskeletal conditions increases with age, younger people are also affected, often during their peak income-earning years. Low back pain is the main reason for a premature exit from the workforce. The societal impact of early retirement in terms of direct health-care costs and indirect costs (i.e., work absenteeism or productivity loss) is enormous. Projections show that the number of people with low back pain will increase in the future, and even more rapidly in low-income and middle-income countries.
Tiller®-liftmobile is a CE-certified machine
Before a machine can be traded in Europe (European Union and European Economic Area), it must be CE marked and comply with the applicable European directives. CE stands for "Conformité Européenne" and is a mark indicating that a product meets all the requirements in European directives.
The Tiller®-liftmobile has been assessed by independent experts and they have declared that our machine meets the fundamental health and safety requirements of the Machinery Directive and relevant European directives. We have documented this in a technical construction file.
