Lifting an uneven or awkward load is rarely as simple as getting it off the ground.

The real challenge is controlling the angle, maintaining the correct orientation and positioning the load accurately at the installation point. Traditional methods can require repeated adjustments, additional lifting accessories and time-consuming manual intervention.

GGR Group’s free on-site Ganterud Levelling Yoke demonstrations give lifting teams the opportunity to see a different approach in real working conditions.

Our specialists will bring a suitable Ganterud Levelling Yoke to your site, explain how the system operates and demonstrate how remote-controlled load levelling could support your upcoming projects.

What Is a Ganterud Levelling Yoke?

A Ganterud Levelling Yoke is a remote-controlled lifting device designed to help operators lift and level uneven or off-centre loads.

The system automatically detects the load’s centre of gravity and allows the operator to adjust its angle using a radio remote control. This provides greater control over the load throughout the lift, helping teams achieve the required orientation before it reaches the installation area.

Ganterud Levelling Yokes are available for loads weighing up to 50 tonnes and can be used across glazing, precast concrete, steelwork and general construction projects.

Rather than relying on repeated crane movements or manual adjustments to lifting chains, the load can be levelled from a safer working position.

Why Book a Free On-Site Demonstration?

A lifting device may look suitable on paper, but the real test is how it performs with your loads, your lifting equipment and your site restrictions.

A free on-site demonstration allows your team to assess the Ganterud Levelling Yoke before committing to hire or purchase.

During the demonstration, you can:

• See how the yoke responds to an uneven or offset centre of gravity
• Experience the level of control available through the radio remote
• Discuss suitable lifting configurations with a GGR specialist
• Assess how the equipment could fit into your current lifting method
• Explore opportunities to reduce installation time and manual adjustments
• Ask questions based on a live or upcoming project

The demonstration takes place on your site, allowing the equipment to be considered in the conditions where it may actually be used. This gives project teams a clearer understanding of its potential benefits than a standard product presentation.

As highlighted in GGR Group’s demonstration campaign, the aim is to let customers experience the control, precision and confidence provided by the equipment in real conditions.

The Benefits of Ganterud Levelling Yokes

More Accurate Load Positioning

Loads such as staircases, steel sections and precast components often need to arrive at the installation point at a specific angle.

A Ganterud Levelling Yoke allows the operator to alter the load’s orientation during the lift, helping the installation team achieve more accurate positioning before the final connection or placement.

This can be particularly useful where there is limited room to manoeuvre the load once it reaches the installation area.

Reduced Manual Adjustment

Traditional levelling methods can involve adjusting chain lengths, repositioning lifting points or using chain blocks to correct the angle of the load.

These processes may require the load to be lowered and re-rigged several times before the correct orientation is achieved.

Remote-controlled levelling helps reduce the need for these manual corrections. The operator can make controlled adjustments from a suitable position without repeatedly changing the lifting arrangement.

Faster Installation

Installation time can be lost when a load reaches the correct location but not the correct angle.

By allowing the load to be levelled while suspended, the Ganterud system can help reduce delays between lifting and installation. This is particularly valuable on projects where crane time, road closures, site access or installation windows are limited.

The system is designed to decrease installation time while improving positioning accuracy and reducing project risk.

Greater Control Over Uneven Loads

Many prefabricated components do not have a perfectly central lifting point. Their weight may be concentrated at one end or distributed unevenly across the load.

The Ganterud Levelling Yoke detects the centre of gravity and enables the operator to correct the load angle accordingly. This provides a more controlled method of handling components that would otherwise naturally hang unevenly.

Remote Operation

The system is operated using a radio remote control, allowing adjustments to be made from a position with a clearer view of both the load and the installation area.

This can improve communication between the operator, crane team, slinger signaller and installation crew, particularly during complex lifts where visibility and precise coordination are essential.

Suitable for Repeated Lifting Operations

The time savings can become especially significant when several similar components need to be installed.

Once the correct lifting arrangement has been established, the yoke can help teams repeat the process more consistently across multiple lifts. This makes it well suited to projects involving repeated installation of structural, modular or precast elements.

What Projects Can Ganterud Levelling Yokes Be Used For?

Precast Concrete Installation

Precast staircases, wall panels, beams, landings and structural sections can have uneven weight distribution or require installation at a controlled angle.

A levelling yoke can help orientate the component before it reaches the final position, reducing the need for installers to manually manipulate a heavy suspended load.

Steelwork and Structural Components

Steel beams, frames, platforms and fabricated assemblies may need to be tilted or levelled to align with connection points.

Remote-controlled levelling helps the lifting team make gradual adjustments while maintaining control of the component.

Staircase Installation

Complete staircases and large staircase sections are often awkward to handle due to their shape and offset centre of gravity.

The ability to adjust the angle remotely can help guide a staircase through an opening, over a structure or into a restricted installation area.

Modular and Prefabricated Construction

Bathroom pods, plant modules, prefabricated rooms and off-site manufactured assemblies can vary significantly in weight distribution.

A Ganterud Levelling Yoke can help manage these uneven loads and support more controlled installation into prepared openings or structural frames.

Glazing and Façade Projects

Large façade assemblies, glazed frames and prefabricated building envelope sections may need to be presented to the structure at a specific angle.

Controlled levelling can help the lifting team align these components more accurately, particularly where access is restricted or finished surfaces need to be protected.

Mechanical and Industrial Equipment

Machinery, motors, production equipment, tanks and fabricated plant components often contain internal parts that make their centre of gravity difficult to predict.

The Ganterud system can help level these loads during machinery installation, factory maintenance and industrial relocation projects.

Infrastructure and Civil Engineering

Bridge components, access platforms, tunnel equipment and other engineered assemblies can be large, irregular and difficult to position.

A remotely operated levelling solution can help lifting teams manage these components more efficiently while working within tightly controlled installation sequences.

Which Ganterud Levelling Yoke Is Right for Your Project?

GGR Group offers a range of Ganterud Levelling Yokes for different load capacities and lifting applications, including:

• L5 Pro for smaller loads and lighter installation work
• L12 Pro for loads weighing up to 12 tonnes
• L20-3 Pro for heavier and more complex lifting operations
• L50 HD for high-capacity applications up to 50 tonnes

The most appropriate model will depend on the load weight, lifting points, centre of gravity, required chain length and installation method.

Our lifting specialists can review your project requirements and recommend a suitable configuration as part of the demonstration process.

See the Difference on Your Own Site

A free demonstration gives your project team the opportunity to evaluate the equipment using a relevant load, rather than relying solely on specifications or example footage.

Whether you are planning the installation of a precast staircase, steel assembly, modular unit or industrial component, GGR Group can demonstrate how a Ganterud Levelling Yoke could provide greater control throughout the lift.
