GWSI Boosts Heavy Lift Capacities

GWSI Boosts Heavy Lift Capabilities, Expands Special Projects Logistics

Global supply chain provider GWSI announced today a significant enhancement of its heavy lift capabilities, marking a major expansion in its Special Projects Logistics division. This upgrade positions GWSI to handle more complex and larger-scale logistics projects across various industries.

The company has invested heavily in state-of-the-art equipment and specialized training, allowing it to take on projects involving oversized, overweight, and high-value cargo. This move comes in response to growing demand for specialized logistics services in sectors such as energy, construction, and manufacturing.

We've seen an increasing need for logistics partners capable of managing exceptionally challenging cargo, said Matt DeLuca, Chief of Operations at GWSI. Our enhanced heavy lift capacity allows us to serve clients with even the most demanding transportation requirements.

Key aspects of GWSI's expanded heavy lift capabilities include:

• Advanced lifting equipment capable of handling extremely oversized/heavy cargo
• Specialized transport vehicles for oversized cargo
• Expanded team of certified heavy lift operators and project managers
• Cutting-edge route planning and load simulation software
• Comprehensive project management services from planning to execution

The company has also invested in developing custom solutions for unique heavy lift challenges. This includes the ability to design and fabricate specialized lifting and transport equipment for one-of-a-kind projects.

GWSI emphasized that safety remains a top priority in all heavy lift operations. The company has implemented rigorous safety protocols and invested in extensive training programs for its staff. Every heavy lift project presents unique challenges, and our team is now better equipped than ever to address these safely and efficiently, added DeLuca.

The expansion is expected to open up new opportunities for GWSI in sectors such as:

• Renewable energy (wind turbine transport and installation)
• Oil and gas (refinery equipment relocation)
• Construction (modular building transport)
• Manufacturing (factory equipment relocation)
• Aerospace (aircraft and satellite component logistics)

As part of this capability enhancement, GWSI has also focused on improving its project planning and execution processes. The company now offers end-to-end project management services, including feasibility studies, route surveys, permit acquisition, and on-site supervision of lifting and transport operations.

This expansion isn't just about bigger equipment, explained DeLuca. It's about offering a more comprehensive service that covers every aspect of complex logistics projects.

The company's increased heavy lift capacity is already being put to use. GWSI recently completed a high-profile project involving the transport of several 200-ton wind turbine components across challenging terrain, showcasing its new capabilities.

As global infrastructure development continues to grow and industries increasingly require the movement of large, heavy equipment, the demand for specialized heavy lift logistics is expected to rise. With its enhanced capabilities, GWSI is well-positioned to meet this demand and potentially reshape the special projects logistics landscape.
