GDI Special Projects & Heavy Lift Systems

Special Projects & Heavy Lift Systems

When off-the-shelf won’t do, GDI engineers custom lift solutions for projects that push the limits of weight, size, and precision.

Engineered Precision. Exceptional Lift Capacity.

From stage lifts and rotating art installations to multi-ton facade panels and specialized industrial rigs, GDI’s heavy-lift operators are tailored to your exact requirements. We collaborate with architects, engineers, and project managers to deliver turnkey systems—complete with custom controls, safety interlocks, and detailed documentation.
