Ganterud L20-3 Pro: Saving Time and Reducing Risk – A Customer’s Story

The Problem:

Facing constant delays and operator frustration from repeatedly adjusting chains to level heavy mesh loads, the customer turned to Hoistech for a smarter, safer solution — the Ganterud L20-3 Pro Auto-Levelling Yoke.

At Hoistech, we pride ourselves on delivering smart, safety-focused lifting solutions that make a real difference on site. One of our customers recently shared how the Ganterud L20-3 Pro Auto-Levelling Lifting Yoke, supplied and supported by Hoistech, has significantly improved their operations at their Avonmouth facility.

Here’s what they had to say:

“Having used the Ganterud L20-3 Pro system in our Avonmouth facility for a few months now, we have experienced a reduction in time spent on our lifting operations in addition to enhanced safety as a result of fewer manual adjustments required to the load and rigging in order to equalise the lift.”

From Time-Consuming Manual Adjustments to Seamless Auto-Levelling:

Our customer’s process involves lifting large mesh panels in both horizontal and vertical planes. Initially, they relied on a traditional multipoint lifting beam with chains. Levelling each load required constant adjustment—operatives had to repeatedly raise, lower, and manually shorten chains to achieve balance. It was a slow, labor-intensive, and frustrating task for the team.

After switching to the Ganterud L20-3 Pro, those challenges were eliminated.

“Using this method, operatives needed to continuously raise and lower the loads to balance it out to level, this could be repeated over and over… The repeated process was time consuming and labour intensive, whilst also being frustrating for our lifting team.”

The Hoistech Solution: Ganterud L20-3 Pro

The Ganterud Auto-Levelling Yoke, provided by Hoistech, allowed them to streamline the entire process. With its intelligent levelling system, the load automatically adjusts to maintain balance—no manual tweaks needed.

“The Ganterud system mitigated these issues for both horizontal and vertical meshes with its easy-to-use function.”

As a result, they experienced:

• Significantly reduced lift times

• Improved site safety

• Happier, less strained operatives

Seeing the Benefits: Investing in a Second Unit

Following the success of their first unit, the customer quickly decided to expand.

“Following the improvements seen from the first system installed we have now implemented the use of a second.”

At Hoistech, we’re proud to support our customers in finding smarter ways to lift. The Ganterud L20-3 Pro is just one example of how the right equipment can transform your workflow and improve safety across the board.
