Our Equipment

Built for the
Hardest Removals

We don't subcontract the hard parts. SLE owns specialist lifting and access equipment purpose-built for lift removal — gear most companies have to hire.

SWL 4000kg Lifting Beam
Custom Lifting Beams

SWL 4,000kg Structural Lifting Beams

Our engineer-certified lifting beams are designed specifically for machine room motor extractions. They can be installed into existing machine rooms with minimal structural modification, giving us a safe overhead lifting point where none exists.

  • 4,000kg Safe Working Load — engineer certified
  • Designed for permanent or temporary installation
  • Compatible with chain hoists and electric winches
  • Installed into concrete, steel or brick structures
  • Custom sizing available for non-standard machine rooms
A-Frame Gantry
A-Frame Gantry

Portable A-Frame Gantry System

Our custom-fabricated aluminium A-frame gantry provides a mobile overhead lifting solution for sites where a fixed beam isn't possible. Rated and engineered, it assembles quickly and works across uneven ground and confined access points.

  • Rated and tested to full SWL capacity
  • Lightweight aluminium — easy to transport and assemble
  • Adjustable leg width and height
  • Ideal for external access and tight machine rooms
  • Purpose-built by SLE — not available for hire elsewhere
Multi-lift machine room
Machine Room Works

Multi-Lift Machine Room Capability

We regularly work in active multi-lift machine rooms where space is tight and coordination is critical. Our team is experienced in managing safe isolation, sequenced removal and component handling in complex machine room environments.

  • LOTO (Lockout/Tagout) on all electrical systems
  • Chain hoists and electric winches for any configuration
  • Works around live lifts with proper isolation protocols
  • Licensed electricians on all electrical disconnection
  • Full documentation and handover for each machine removed
