Modular construction is transforming the way buildings are manufactured and assembled. As wall panels, floor cassettes, roof sections, bathroom pods and complete modules become larger and heavier, achieving safe and accurate lifting becomes increasingly important.
Traditional lifting methods often require manual adjustments, repositioning lifting points, and repeated trial and error to achieve the correct balance. These extra steps can reduce productivity, increase labour costs, and expose both workers and finished components to unnecessary risk.
So, how can modular manufacturers improve lifting safety and efficiency?
Use a Load Levelling System Instead of Manual Adjustments
One of the most effective ways to improve lifting accuracy is by using Ganterud electric load levelling yoke.
Ganterud Electric Load Levelling Yokes, available exclusively in Australia through Hasemer Materials Handling, allow operators to remotely adjust the centre of gravity of an uneven load during the lift using a handheld radio controller.
Instead of stopping the lift to reposition slings or lifting points, operators can make precise adjustments at the push of a button, resulting in smoother and safer lifting operations.
Improve Positioning Accuracy During Assembly
Accurate positioning is essential when installing modular components such as:
- Wall panels
- Floor cassettes
- Roof assemblies
- Bathroom pods
- Complete building modules
Being able to remotely level the load enables operators to position components more precisely, reducing the need for manual intervention while improving installation accuracy.
Increase Productivity Throughout the Manufacturing Process
Reducing lifting delays helps improve workflow across the entire manufacturing process.
Electric load levelling technology helps:
- Improve worker safety during lifting operations
- Increase production efficiency
- Improve positioning accuracy during assembly
- Protect high-value finished components
- Maintain better control of large and uneven loads
- Improve crane utilisation and productivity
By reducing manual adjustments, lifting operations become faster, safer, and more consistent.
Choose Equipment Built for Industrial Environments
Lifting equipment used in modular construction must be designed to perform in demanding industrial conditions.
Ganterud Electric Load Levelling Yokes feature:
- Radio-controlled operation
- Battery-powered design
- IP65/IP67 protection
- Minimal maintenance requirements
- Suitability for demanding industrial and construction environments
These features make Ganterud suitable for both manufacturing facilities and on-site construction projects.
