GANTERUD - PRECISION AT THE TOUCH OF A BUTTON

The GANTERUD L-series offers sophisticated leveling and traversing devices with which you can handle heavy loads precisely and safely thanks to the latest technology.

5 good reasons to choose Ganterud

Heavy load, we have a simple solution.

Maximum work safety

With the load balancer from Ganterud, you not only lift loads, but also your safety standards – for maximum protection of people and materials.

Optimized time management

Thanks to intelligent technology, the appliance noticeably speeds up your work processes – and minimizes downtime.

Flexible application

Whether heavy loads or demanding lifting tasks – the load balancers from Ganterud are the versatile professionals for every application.

Reduced personnel requirements

The load balancer makes complex lifting operations child’s play – less personnel, more efficiency, noticeable savings in costs and resources.

Ultimate precision

With Ganterud levelling devices, you can align even heavy objects of various designs with millimeter precision—ensuring the highest level of accuracy and enabling efficient, precise work.

Turning heavy objects

Unlock the chain wheel with the remote control and also use the Pro models as a guide pulley. The chain can then run freely without resistance. If longer chain stops are required, these are available as accessories.

Precise and finely tuned alignment

With its reversible stroke, the L-series offers maximum precision and can be precisely balanced thanks to its two speeds.

Optimize your productivity

Objects can be aligned effortlessly at the touch of a button, reducing expensive crane and downtime.

Robust and strong

Thanks to its robust, proven technology and reliable electric motor, the L Series can be used in all weather conditions ranging from -20 °C to +40 °C, even under challenging conditions.

Reliable and easy to handle

Thanks to the robust housing and IP65-rated electric drive, the GANTERUD L series is not only easy to operate in all positions, but also uncomplicated to clean.

Radio remote control

A user-friendly, IP67-rated remote control makes controlling the leveling and traversing devices child’s play.

Minimal maintenance required

In addition to regular cleaning, only the battery charge needs to be checked. The battery charge level can be read directly behind the maintenance flap.

Do you have any questions?
Wir die Antworten!

1. What is the levelling force?

The force that the sprocket can apply. This force is the maximum difference in load between side A and side B.

2 What does the "A" on the remote control mean?

Do NOT> press Otherwise you can easily disconnect the remote control from the device. - Must then be linked again -> Further Information in the operating instructions.

3. Where can I check the battery level?

Behind the maintenance flap on the device itself. GREEN = >75%, YELLOW = >50%, RED = <25%

4. Can I also switch on the fast run function for the hub?

NO! This is only for faster equalization of the chain lengths - in the unloaded state.

5. What is the “unlock” function all about — and in case of doubt, can the load change if I accidentally unlock it?

The disengagement function switches the sprocket to "idler" mode. This MUST always be engaged before the stroke in order to prevent a one-sided additional load. If this is triggered under load, the gear resistance of approx. 5-10% of the riveting force prevents uncontrolled reversal of the load. However, it should not be used carelessly!

6. What safety features does the appliance offer? (automatic switch-off, weight display...)

The appliance does not switch off in the event of overload - nor does it have a weight display. If you are unsure, please ask PHILIPP GmbH or use a crane scale. All load-bearing parts have a safety factor of 4:1 against breakage. The hook cannot be retracted as the device knows the chain length (zero position).

7. How long does the battery last?

Depending on the load. With "normal load" approx. one week. With demanding loads (climbing heavy stairs), approx. 1-2 days.

8. Can the device be charged during rain/snow?

L3-L12: The maintenance flap can be closed while charging.
L20 und L50HD: There is a cover for bad weather..

9. Can the chain be shortened?

Yes, this can be done by PHILIPP GmbH, and a longer chain can also be installed. In general, however, you should check BEFORE ordering whether a longer or shorter chain makes sense.

10. how far does the radio range of the remote control extend?

Approx. 100 mtr. with unobstructed field of vision

11. If I have heavy objects, can I place them on top when leveling to have less weight hanging on the Ganterud?

NO! The following applies to all PRO devices: "Only level in the air!" Placing the load "on the ground" can lead to the load's balance being disturbed. This can result in greater forces and the motor can easily be overloaded.

12. What does the ‘Heavy Duty product group’ refer to?

The devices in the Heavy Duty product range are primarily designed for industrial use. They do not have a chain release mechanism – but they do have a drive unit that is much more powerful in relation to their load capacity.

13. What should I do if I'm unsure about the load I want to lift or level?

Contact PHILIPP GmbH, our team ox experts will help you to design your load correctly. Using a crane scale on one of the chain sides is also a common method.

14. How precisely can I level?

Die Nivellierung kann so fein eingestellt werden, dass selbst tonnenschwere Bauteile millimetergenau ausgerichtet werden können.

15. May I use the Ganterud balancing device for lifting with one line?

NO! - Never hang only one hook!

16. What do I need to consider before use?

Read and understand the operating instructions
Visual inspection of the device
Check battery level and switch on circuit breaker
Checking the function of the device
Plan the lifting process / create a risk analysis

17. How do I charge the device?

Switch off the equalizer -> Switch off the isolating switch.

18. How and by whom must the device be inspected?

By an authorized service partner (PHILIPP GmbH in the DACH region). The inspection interval is every 12 months.

Reference example: One of our customers required us to position a 28-tonne staircase with a platform from a low-loader (in a horizontal position) at an angle of approximately 65°. The maximum weight difference between the two sides was approximately 4.5 tonnes. We were able to accomplish this task using two L20 units.
If you are unsure about determining the levelling force required for your project, please contact the team of experts at PHILIPP GmbH in advance! We will be happy to help you find the optimal solution for your needs.
