Lifting technology

Overhead cranes, jib cranes and special cranes designed for unique requirements

GD designs and manufactures cranes for our customers covering almost every sector of industry. 
Our product range is particularly extensive in the field of overhead cranes. We offer single-girder and double-girder overhead cranes and underslung cranes across a large load-bearing range, but we also have the capability to manufacture special low-headroom double-girder overhead cranes and side-mounted trolley cranes. Their major advantage is that they can be used in rooms with low ceiling heights where traditional crane designs could not be installed.
We also custom-design special jib and slewing cranes. Our jib cranes are available in pillar-mounted, wall-mounted, or track-mounted versions. 

Lifting equipment for normal, extreme, and explosive environments

Our cranes are built for operation in enclosed, covered spaces and outdoors, but we can also supply lifting equipment for operation in particularly dirty conditions or even in clean rooms. 
Our specialty is the design and manufacture of lifting equipment for explosive environments, which comply with all safety requirements applicable to such equipment in the EU.

Automated cranes and custom load-handling attachments for industrial applications

Our offer also extends to automated cranes designed to meet customer needs. Our lifting equipment is characterized by high-precision positioning, and automated load pick-up and drop-off. Beyond operator instructions, our digital control systems are capable of communicating with process control systems to manage the crane. 
For safe load handling, we design and manufacture the optimal load-handling attachment tailored to the product being handled.
Our cranes can be found in all areas of industry. From simple workshop cranes and equipment serving industrial technological lines to applications in warehousing, waste processing, the chemical industry, energy, and the nuclear industry.

Gantry cranes and lifting equipment designed for indoor spaces

Our lifting equipment product range also includes gantry cranes and semi-gantry cranes. Their load capacity can range from 1 ton to 100 tons, and they generally operate outdoors. As a special design, we offer indoor gantry and semi-gantry cranes that do not require a separate runway; they can operate on high-quality floors with adequate load-bearing capacity on their polyurethane-tread wheels. 

Beyond cranes, within our lifting technology division, we also offer our partners enclosed cargo lifting equipment. These can be manufactured in a version mounted to the building structure or, if required, with a self-supporting frame structure. Our cargo lifting equipment can be manufactured in the widest range of sizes and capacities, with a maximum load capacity of 10 tons, a maximum lifting height of 12 m, and a basket size of up to 5.0×5.0 m.
