The construction industry is experiencing a paradigm shift toward smarter, greener, and more efficient solutions. While tried and tested, traditional concrete foundations present environmental and logistical challenges. Builders and contractors need solutions that offer consistent delivery capacity, seamless digital integration, and a higher standard of quality and reliability.
LV21: Efficiency Redefined
Meeting the demand for smarter ground screw installations
That’s why we developed the LV21 ground screw installation machine
The LV21 enhances delivery capacity, integrates seamlessly with digital workflows, and ensures higher precision and efficiency. With this machine, you’re equipped to meet the demands of modern construction while embracing smarter, greener, and more efficient foundation solutions.
By combining the LV21 with our StopDigging Connect (SD Connect) app, we’ve created a solution that improves efficiency and brings professionalism and control to every project. Together, these tools set a new benchmark for modern foundation work, paving the way for the future of sustainable and efficient construction.
“Developing the LV21 has been an incredible journey for me. From the initial idea to the final product.”
Daniel Kandell, Product Manager at StopDigging
The LV21: A machine engineered for precision and durability
After an intensive development period, we’re proud to unveil the LV21 ground screw installation machine. This innovative machine adapts to ground conditions with unparalleled precision, effortlessly driving ground screws as though nature itself were guiding it.
Daniel Kandell, Product Manager at StopDigging, has developed the LV21 machine in collaboration with some of the best suppliers in the market. I set out to create a machine that would meet the demands of the construction industry. After months of collaboration, testing, and fine-tuning, I’m proud to say we’ve delivered a solution that sets a new standard for ground screw installations. This machine is built for tough jobs with cutting-edge technology.”
Durability meets adaptability: Weatherproof and maintenance-free
At the heart of the LV21 lies a planetary gearbox—a masterpiece of engineering crafted from special alloys for superior strength and efficiency. This four-stage, single-speed gearbox operates with minimal noise and provides reliable torque even under heavy loads. In combination with a specially designed brushless IPM motor and advanced Power Factor Correction (PFC) system, the LV21 delivers consistent performance across varying voltages (85-264VAC) without excessive power consumption.
Dust and moisture are the enemies of electronic components. That’s why the LV21 employs advanced encapsulation methods to protect internal circuits. A heat-dissipating aluminium heat sink ensures components remain at optimal temperatures, even in harsh conditions. With an IP54-rated design, the LV21 machine thrives in all weather conditions, offering a long service life with minimal maintenance.

Design challenges: Balancing performance, durability, and reliability
Developing the LV21 wasn’t without its challenges, according to Daniel. One of the biggest challenges was ensuring effective thermal management and operational reliability. High-capacity machines generate substantial heat, and without proper cooling, performance and durability will suffer. At the same time, protecting the internal components from moisture and dust was important—a necessity for a machine designed to operate in tough, real-world conditions. Daniel continues:
“From the outset, we faced the complex task of balancing multiple high-performance components while meeting stringent demands for capacity, quiet operation, and water resistance.”
These challenges were tackled through a combination of hard work, specialised materials, and innovative solutions. Advanced encapsulation techniques protect the sensitive electronics, while a custom-designed aluminium heat sink keeps temperatures under control.
The result: A machine built to perform
By overcoming these challenges, the LV21 can operate smoothly, quietly, and reliably, regardless of on-site conditions. The result? A machine that not only meets industry expectations but exceeds them, delivering power, precision, and durability without compromise.
