Specialised Lifting Service

SLS Cranes is a specialized lifting and rigging equipment company based in Forrestdale, Western Australia, operating at 1 Haydock Street. As an official STAHL Crane Systems certified partner, the company specializes in the design, manufacture, supply, and testing of industrial lifting equipment, including overhead travelling cranes, gantry cranes, monorail cranes, jib cranes, and explosion-proof hoists and components. With over 25 years of fabrication experience in major mining projects across Western Australia, SLS Cranes has established itself as a leading provider of comprehensive lifting solutions and certification services in the region.

The company operates a fully equipped testing facility designed to support both on-site and in-house inspection and certification of lifting and rigging equipment. The testing laboratory features a 150-ton horizontal load test bed and a 5-ton vertical load test bed, both equipped with NATA (National Association of Testing Authorities Australia) calibrated load cells. This instrumentation enables precise measurement and verification of equipment performance, load capacity, and structural integrity. The facility allows SLS Cranes to provide comprehensive testing and certification services for all types of lifting and rigging equipment, ensuring compliance with safety standards and operational requirements.

SLS Cranes operates with NATA-endorsed technicians who are expertly trained in equipment testing, inspection, and repair. The NATA calibration of the company's load cells ensures measurement accuracy and traceability to national standards. While not explicitly stating ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation on the company website, the use of NATA-calibrated instrumentation and NATA-endorsed technicians reflects adherence to rigorous testing and measurement standards recognized across the Australian industrial sector. This commitment to standardized testing protocols provides clients with reliable, traceable test data for equipment verification and safety compliance.

SLS Cranes provides a broad suite of lifting and rigging services that extend beyond testing. The company offers testing and certification, equipment repair and maintenance, custom manufacture and fabrication of lifting frames and rigging equipment, routine maintenance and overhaul services, and spare parts supply for hoists and crane components from multiple manufacturers including STAHL. The fabrication division provides coded welding and custom design services strictly to engineered drawings, with a large catalogue of specialized components for mining and industrial applications. Additionally, the company maintains a fleet of fully equipped service vehicles and an emergency response team available 24/7 for urgent equipment repairs and breakdown assistance.

SLS Cranes serves the heavy industrial and mining sectors, where equipment reliability and safety are critical operational concerns. With a 25+ year track record in Western Australian mining fabrication, the company has demonstrated expertise in supporting large-scale mining operations, industrial facilities, and construction sites requiring specialized lifting and rigging solutions. The company also offers test weights for hire (currently 10 units of 2-ton test weights available), supporting external customers who require certified equipment for load validation and compliance testing.

The company's comprehensive capabilities combine engineering design, manufacturing precision, and rigorous testing and certification services. By offering both equipment supply and independent testing and verification, SLS Cranes provides clients with confidence in equipment performance and regulatory compliance. The 24/7 emergency breakdown service model, supported by experienced technicians and equipped response vehicles, ensures that critical lifting operations can be rapidly restored if equipment failure occurs. This integrated approach—combining original design and manufacture, maintenance, repair, and testing—positions SLS Cranes as a full-service partner for industrial lifting operations in Western Australia and beyond.
