Started in June 1982 in Pretoria, as a small enterprise trading in engineered goods, Elephant Lifting Equipment has grown into one of the largest and most technically able suppliers, designers and manufacturers of lifting equipment in southern Africa today.

28 years of continuous growth, underpinned by innovation and an engineered approach to lifting safety, has made Elephant Lifting Equipment a highly respected lifting equipment supplier throughout Sub Saharan Africa and the Middle East.

The company, staffed by mostly long serving employees, is highly valued by its local and international suppliers for its loyalty and professional representation, and serves a prestigious customer base in the Extractive and Metallurgical Industry, Construction, Infrastructure, Energy (power generation, oil and gas) and Project E.P.C.M. The company’s financial strength, coupled with its in house engineering expertise, allow it to carry substantial stockholdings of both locally and internationally manufactured products, as well as to design and fabricate special attachments and cranes per order, thus enabling it to fulfil the needs of its clients in a very thorough and timely manner.

Innovation is driven by a team of mechanical and industrial engineers, supported by state of the art design programmes with integrated manufacturing equipment, and highly experienced personnel operating in a modern and spacious production facility. Elephant Lifting Equipment’s mission statement, along with its continuous drive to exceed client expectations, defines its guiding principles of operation.
