Key Features of GKS Moving & Lifting Solutions
With years of heavy-duty moving and lifting experience, the team at GKS understands the premium features that streamline the process. Our jacks, dollies, robots, and pumps are designed with specialized details, from non-slip pads to 360-degree bearings, setting GKS products apart.
Our industrial product design philosophy, underpinned by German engineering excellence, is simplicity. We strive for simplified design wherever possible, reducing the number of parts and extending the lifespan of our moving solutions.
But simplified design is just the beginning. Each family of GKS products and moving solutions features unique details and design choices, driven by a desire to serve our customers better.
Jacks
Every GKS jack is made with a non-slip friction pad on its head, for added security of every load. Our hydraulic jacks feature a safety toe made with forged steel, which is more durable than the cast steel toes found on many other hydraulic jacks. Our forged steel toes are also adjustable for lifting loads as low to the ground as possible. GKS forklift jacks have a longer, grooved safety toe, designed for secure lifting.
GKS also offers heavy-duty lifting solutions for clean rooms, laboratories, and other sensitive environments. Our nickel-plated jacks have the same lifting capacity as our standard jacks and don’t introduce rust dust to delicate spaces.
Dollies
It can be frustrating when dollies leave scuffs and smudges in their wake, adding floor cleanup to the responsibilities of a busy crew. GKS dollies are made with non-marking, polyamide rollers that can travel across virtually any surface, cracks, and small steps without leaving any blemishes in their wake. Our polyamide rollers are durable and lightweight, with an aluminum core. Some GKS polyamide rollers also feature special gripping teeth on the aluminum core. These gripping teeth secure the polyamide roller to its ball bearings for longer than other rollers on the market.
Industrial Dollies
GKS industrial dollies are made with thick, grooved, rubber pads to prevent load slippage. Additionally, our industrial dollies can lift loads from as low as four inches off the ground, the lowest in the industry.
Container Dollies
Some dollies are made with exposed outer rollers as a cost-saving measure. However, if an exposed roller hits a corner, machine, or other obstacle when the dolly is in motion, the force can bend and deform the axle—and potentially disable the dolly entirely. A GKS container dolly is built to contain all rollers within its frame, protecting polyamide rollers and axles from potential damage and extending the longevity of the dolly.
Additionally, GKS container dollies feature a unique twist lock that secures each corner of a shipping container to a specialized cone, keeping the container securely affixed to the dolly when engaged.
Rotating Dollies
Like our other dollies, GKS rotating dollies feature thick, grooved, rubber pads to keep loads from slipping. Our rotating dollies are also made with specialized bearings that allow for true 360-degree movement and an ultra-low loading height of 3.9 inches.
Robot Dollies
GKS robot dollies are powered by long-lasting lithium-polymer batteries, so there are no cords or propane exhaust to contend with. With our user-friendly remote control, anyone operating a GKS robot dolly can be its own spotter, driving and steering the robot simultaneously. Additionally, GKS robot dollies have a unique straight-line function that takes the pressure off the operator when navigating through tight spaces.
Pumps
GKS pumps allow smaller teams to work more efficiently without compromising their safety. With a GKS pump, a single operator can lift two jacks at once while maintaining a safe distance from both loads.
