The journey from the manufacturing floor to the end user can be long and complex. Many moving parts must be coordinated along the way, with careful planning. One particularly challenging element of the industrial distribution process is transporting industrial equipment, shipping containers, and other heavy cargo from one place to another.
For over 60 years, GKS has been at the forefront of helping businesses. Their influence stretches across many types of industrial work, focusing on moving heavy equipment safely and efficiently. Shipping, logistics, and supply chain professionals in a wide range of industries trust GKS to keep operations running smoothly in shipping yards, warehouses, and other fast-paced environments. GKS products are designed to maintain the integrity of your inventory, preserve your workers’ energy and health, and boost the efficiency of your entire operation.
How Different Industries Benefit from Industrial Moving Products
High-quality jacks, dollies, and pumps can be a tremendous asset for a wide range of industries and market segments. The experts at GKS have years of experience helping our customers select the right products for their industrial moving needs. Whether you’re expanding to a larger facility, updating your processes with new equipment or streamlining the functionality of your warehouse, our durable and reliable products can help you achieve your goals with less effort and cost.
Distributing
Industrial, retail, and commercial supply providers rely on distribution experts for the timely delivery of goods to their customers. With customers expecting faster delivery every day, GKS jacks and dollies can help your team stay nimble. Our German-engineered products allow for safer, easier organization and rearranging of pallets. GKS can also help you preserve your team’s energy and minimize damage when moving large machine parts and other industrial supply hardware.
CNC Machining
Relocating computer numerical controlled (CNC) machines presents a unique challenge. These machines are often heavy, bulky, and incredibly delicate, not to mention expensive. GKS industrial moving equipment allows for safe transportation of CNC machines across uneven flooring, through tight clearances, and up and down inclines without disturbing or damaging their sensitive mechanics.

Welding
Many industries, from automotive and aerospace to pipefitting and oil rigging, rely on welders for manufacturing, maintenance, and repair. Welders who work with large equipment may find it challenging to safely access areas that need repair. GKS jacks can save welders from the discomfort and risk of crawling underneath large machinery. Our heavy-duty jacks can lift and secure heavy equipment and other loads, allowing welders to reach tricky areas. You can count on our support team to help you choose between a forklift jack and a hydraulic jack for your welding application.
Manufacturing
Every manufacturing facility will have different lifting and moving needs. GKS can help you choose the right lifting solution for your situation, based on load capacity and other factors. With GKS jacks, dollies, and robots, you can move symmetrical, unbalanced, bulky, delicate, and extremely heavy loads with confidence.
Research and Development
Research and development (R&D) efforts are vital to moving technology forward. Companies working on new healthcare solutions, more refined electronics, or streamlined industrial supply hardware may need sophisticated instrumentation and equipment to support their important work. GKS offers reliable solutions for safely transporting prototyping and lab equipment, pick-and-place machines, and other delicate loads. We also offer nickel-plated transport dollies for clean rooms and other sensitive environments.
Clean Rooms
Some types of advanced machinery require sensitive and controlled environments for optimal performance. This is especially common in the pharmaceutical, food, nuclear power, and microchip manufacturing industries. GKS offers a number of specialized lifting and moving solutions for these fields. Our battery-powered robots are ideal for environments that cannot tolerate propane or combustible fuel emissions, and our nickel-plated equipment can be deployed in clean rooms without introducing harmful particles.
