Camas, WA - Tidland, the world leader in slitting and winding technology, announces the immediate availability of larger ultra-lightweight air shafts. The newest 4” and 5” GX shafts round out Tidland’s full-line of ergonomic solutions including aluminum extrusion and carbon fiber shafts in 3”, 4”, 5” and 6” sizes and the ever-popular 6” Force5 air chuck.

Since the release of the Ultra-Lightweight shaft, customers have been able to improve overall roll quality, increase operator job satisfaction and reduce workers’ compensation claims.
