Introducing our new LMS PT 12 HD Gin Pole
This 12″ face gin pole has the extra lift and safety capacity combined to give you the confidence and assurance these units will get the job done. Load charts speak for themselves. This pole has a dual purpose with the flexibility of converting to an SA swing arm head or standard HD head for those larger lifts. Poles are required to be inspected annually, and new load charts are issued for each pole. All parts are serial numbered for uniformity and assurance you are working with the official OEM Landa Mobile Systems part.
Introducing our new LMS PT 12 SA Gin Pole
A pole that makes antenna and mount change-outs a breeze, with a thrust bearing you can turn with two fingers. This pole has impressive strength with a 4″ reach arm for swinging mounts into place or an optional head without a swing arm when utilized, uses a different load chart, and has tremendous lift capacity. All poles have the option of adding a jump track feature. There are also optional size sheaves available for various uses.
2020 Landa introduced a new sheave pin upgrade for the LMS PT 18 GinPole. The double sheave pins will be the same as on the PT 21 GinPole, and they all have a three-year time life assigned to them for replacement and the safety of operations.

As the repack begins and the demand for legal gin poles begins the saga. This pole is heading out to new owners GTI America Inc out of Buffalo, NY. They are working on a 900′ antenna tower in Claremore, Ok, then heading up onto a 1600′ tower in LA. This is our LMS PS24 jump track square gin pole for those large tower projects.

While the situation continues, we work closely with our manufacturer partners to identify the affected products. To see a current list of the HTS codes affected by the tariff, please reference the list from United States Trade Relations here. Unfortunately, due to the increases being passed on to Landa Mobile Systems LLC, prices on many of our products will be increased to reflect the additional charges related to the tariffs. We will only increase the price of products in instances where the increases have been incurred. We will include the cost of the taxes in the unit price when applicable. This is a very fluid situation. We have heard from a limited number of manufacturers and expect to hear from more in the coming weeks. https://ustr.gov/…/enforcement…/301Investigations/List%201.pdf…

“I’ve been a climber for 31 years and stacked towers for nine years. I’ve worked with dozens of styles and sizes of poles, and yours, by far, was the most sturdy and well-constructed. When inspecting it after one year of use, it had no defects to be found. I couldn’t even find a crack in the galvanizing, let alone any deformed members. It is one WELL BUILT tool.”

GIN POLE MYTH IN DESIGN
While having an extra steel plate welded to them for jump track use, Gin Poles do not increase the weight lift capability of the pole since the plates are welded on the back of the pole. The compression on the pole’s front (or outside legs) has no additional support and is the most critical of the unit in design.

NEVER RENT A GIN POLE OR WINCH; REASONS WHY.
Make sure if you rent a pole; it’s just had an inspection and a mag particle check to protect your company and crew from hidden defects from prior rentals. Renting a pole is like borrowing someone’s toothbrush; you don’t know what you are getting. We have heard of companies sticking their necks out there to provide rentals of these critical items. Use extreme caution and ensure you have all the documentation needed on-site. Ask us, and we can advise what you need. We do not rent those above.

Canadian company and repeat gin pole owner praises Landa
Chris Martin, a buyer with www.codeelectricalinc.com, said, “It was a pleasure meeting you over the telephone today. Further to our conversation, I was introduced to Landa through some current trusted vendors. I looked them up online & did a little digging. I found him and his production team extremely professional when I contacted Mike Landa. He was able to give me a reasonable timeline for the products we needed and then actually reduced the timeline by two weeks and was able to turn my product around in a week. We will use Landa in the future and are happy to recommend them as a reputable vendor. “Canadian Hydro Electric to bring back the gin polesDaniel Gagnon P.Eng., Ph.D. with Hydro Quebec, is bringing the Gin Pole into power line transmission tower work. Mr. Daniel Gagnon States, “We need to reintroduce the use of the gin pole technique in our power-line construction division. We used it 25 years ago but had switched to crane operation. Do you know of power-line construction companies in the US and Canada that use the gin pole to build power lines? Also, is any organization in the US or Canada that trains linemen specifically for this technique ?” We welcome them to the Landa Gin Pole family and introduce them to LMS Safety for training and a few of our operators in the industry.
We look forward to working with Canada to introduce our gin poles into their power program, saving them thousands of dollars in deployment costs while maintaining our safety standards and our products’ history without an accident.
