Woodworking

GIS crane systems, often in combination with a GIS vacuum lifter, are widely used and valued in sawmills, carpentry workshops and furniture factories. They enable the safe and ergonomic transport of bulky or heavy wooden components – often by a single person. From the provision of tree trunks to the feeding of machines and the storage and retrieval of finished products, GIS offers complete handling solutions that are tailored to the individual requirements of the wood industry and significantly increase efficiency.
