Mechanical engineering services / Lifting System Design
Lifting systems engineered around your load, working height, available space and operating cycle.
GMD Services develops custom lifting equipment for manufacturers and machine builders, from mechanism selection and load calculations to detailed 3D CAD models, manufacturing drawings and bills of materials.
Whether you need a heavy-duty lifting platform, hydraulic lifting system, scissor lift, vertical lift module (VLM), goods lift, or a completely custom lifting mechanism, our engineering team delivers practical, production-ready mechanical solutions tailored to your application.
Every project includes professional 3D CAD design, detailed manufacturing drawings, bills of materials (BOM), assembly documentation, and engineering support from concept through production.
A lifting system is a mechanical device or machine designed to raise, lower, position, or transfer materials safely and efficiently.
Industrial lifting systems are widely used to improve productivity, reduce manual handling, protect operators, and integrate material handling into automated production lines.
Unlike standard lifting equipment, custom-designed lifting systems are engineered specifically for the required:
Custom engineering ensures maximum reliability while reducing unnecessary manufacturing costs.
We design a wide variety of industrial lifting solutions, including:
Hydraulic lifting systems provide powerful and stable lifting performance for heavy industrial loads.
Applications include:
