SLE Industries is a small, tight-knit crew specialising in elevator removal, demolition and installation across Greater Melbourne and Victoria. We pride ourselves on efficiency and outside-the-box solutions — whatever the job throws at us, we find a way.
From complete demolitions to precision motor swaps — we handle every stage of the lift lifecycle with our own specialist crew and equipment.
Complete lift removals from single residential units to large multi-lift commercial buildings. We manage every component — ropes, car, rails, machine, pit equipment — and handle all waste disposal including hydraulic oil and e-waste.
Core SpecialtyFull motor replacements and machine room upgrades. We bring our own SWL-rated lifting beams and chain hoists for safe extraction and installation of traction machines in any building configuration.
High DemandModernisation of obsolete lift controllers. From wiring removal to new panel commissioning — done by qualified lift technicians and licensed electricians to AS 1735 standards.
ModernisationSpecialist concrete cutting and core drilling for new lift penetrations, landing openings, machine room access and structural modifications. Wet-cut and vacuum extraction minimising dust and disruption.
Structural WorksDesign, supply and installation of SWL-rated structural lifting beams for machine rooms. Our purpose-built beams are engineer-certified and installed for permanent use or temporary lift removal access.
Custom EquipmentFull new lift installations for residential, commercial and industrial applications. Hydraulic, traction and MRL systems. We manage the entire installation from hoistway survey to handover and commissioning.
New BuildLanding and car door upgrades, operator replacements and interlock repairs. We work on all major brands and can source replacement components for obsolete systems.
MaintenanceHydraulic oil and water removal from lift pits. We carry spill containment equipment and use licensed liquid waste contractors for all hydraulic fluid disposal — fully compliant with EPA Victoria requirements.
EnvironmentalWe don't subcontract the hard parts. SLE owns specialist lifting and access equipment purpose-built for lift removal — gear most companies have to hire.
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.
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.
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.
A selection of recent installations, removals and specialist lift works across Greater Melbourne and Victoria.
Our SWL-rated lifting beams, A-frame gantry, chain hoists and specialised rigging gear are owned by SLE — not hired. This means faster mobilisation, lower cost and no waiting on third-party equipment.
All our technicians hold current trade qualifications, White Cards and relevant licences. Electrical work is carried out by licensed electricians. Rigging by licensed riggers. No shortcuts.
We provide SWMS, site audit reports, ITP sign-offs, waste manifests and project handover checklists as standard. Everything a principal contractor needs to close out a project.
Operating from Chirnside Park, we cover all of Greater Melbourne and take on projects across Victoria. Small crew, direct communication — you deal with the people actually doing the work.
From hydraulic pit pump-outs and motor swaps through to full demolitions and brand new installations — SLE covers the entire lift lifecycle. One contractor, one relationship, less risk.
