GROUND SUPPORT & HANDLING SYSTEMS

Mechanical systems engineered for controlled transport, positioning, and service access.

Infinity Skies Ground Support & Handling Systems provide standardized mechanical infrastructure for moving, positioning, supporting, and servicing equipment throughout its lifecycle, from fabrication and integration to testing, transport, and field operations.

These systems replace ad-hoc carts, slings, and welded fixtures with reusable, configurable ground support architecture.

Example Use Environments

  • Equipment handling frames
  • Maintenance platforms
  • Transport assemblies
  • Service positioning structures

What This System Solves

Traditional ground support equipment (GSE) is:

  • Custom-built per program or asset
  • Poorly documented and non-reusable
  • Inflexible as hardware evolves
  • Difficult to scale across sites
  • Risk-prone for high-value assets

Infinity Skies introduces:

  • Standardized handling interfaces
  • Modular support and transport platforms
  • Defined load paths and lift points
  • Configurable restraint and alignment features
  • Lifecycle-ready ground infrastructure

The result is safer handling, faster operations, and lower total cost of ownership.

Core Modules

  • Structural interface plates
  • Equipment cradles and frames
  • Cart and mobility bases
  • Lift and hoist adapters
  • Alignment and docking blocks
  • Safety and restraint hardware

All modules are available in defined sizes, load ratings, materials, and finishes.

Example Applications

  • Aerospace and spaceflight GSE
  • Semiconductor tool handling
  • Industrial equipment transport
  • Test article movement and staging
  • Maintenance and service platforms
  • High-value asset logistics

Expansion Path

Ground Support & Handling Systems integrate directly with:

  • Fixture & Alignment Systems
  • Test & Qualification Systems
  • Mobile & Cart Systems
  • Enclosure & Electronics Systems

Alignment & Positioning Modules

Systems that ensure accurate placement during handling.

  • Locating pins and guides
  • Docking and hard-stop features
  • Adjustable alignment blocks
  • Repeatable datum interfaces

Critical for precision equipment and tight clearances.

Restraint & Protection Elements

Integrated safety and protection components.

  • Transport restraints and tie-downs
  • Shock and vibration isolation mounts
  • Protective frames and guards
  • FOD-safe handling trays

Protects assets, operators, and facilities.

Equipment Support & Staging Structures

Primary structures used to support equipment at rest.

  • Equipment base plates
  • Skid and cradle interfaces
  • Structural support frames
  • Adjustable height and leveling modules

Supports long-term staging, storage, and service access.

Transport & Mobility Platforms

Modules that enable controlled movement of equipment.

  • Equipment carts and dollies
  • Palletized transport bases
  • Caster and wheel interface plates
  • Forklift and pallet jack adapters

Designed for predictable load paths and facility compatibility.

Lifting & Hoisting Interfaces

Defined mechanical interfaces for vertical handling.

  • Lift point adapter plates
  • Crane hook and sling interfaces
  • Spreaders and lift beams
  • Positive retention and restraint features

Eliminates guesswork and unsafe lift improvisation.

Engineer-to-Engineer

Ground systems should be engineered, not improvised.
