About ELS
Lifting Queensland projects since 2003
Equipment & Lifting Solutions grew out of one crane and a reputation for getting the job done properly. Today we supply access equipment, cranes, transport and crews to contractors across South East Queensland.
Where we started
One crane, built into a business
In 2003, Jason Wallis bought an 8-tonne city crane and started JMW Cranes and Rigging, servicing work in Queensland's steel industry. Clients noticed how quickly and efficiently the work was done, and the requests grew: more cranes, then the riggers and dogmen to go with them.
In 2010, Jason founded Equipment & Lifting Solutions to bring cranes, people and planning together under one roof. Since then the business has grown steadily, adding access equipment, trucks and transport alongside the crane fleet and a team of experienced operators, riggers and dogmen.
The way we work hasn't changed. Every job gets a proper look before we quote: free site inspections, custom CAD lift plans and the safety paperwork your site needs, followed by crews who turn up prepared and leave the site the way they found it.
Where we're heading
Access and lifting equipment is now the core of ELS. We're growing the range and the team to support larger projects and long-term contractor relationships, while keeping the hands-on service that built the business.

How we work
A lifting partner for serious projects
Large contractors need suppliers who make their job easier, not harder. These are the standards we hold ourselves to on every site.
Planned before we mobilise
Free site inspections and CAD lift planning mean the machine, the set-up and the lift are worked out before anything rolls onto site.
Your site, your rules
Our crews work to your site requirements, inductions and documentation, and fit in with the way your project runs.
One point of contact
Equipment, people and transport coordinated through one team, so you're not chasing three suppliers.
Workmanship you can sign off
Clean, controlled lifts, careful rigging and a work area left the way we found it. Quality is checked, not assumed.
Straight answers
If a lift needs a bigger crane, a different machine or more planning, we'll tell you upfront.
Relationships that last
We're set up for ongoing work with builders and contractors: consistent crews, familiar processes and a team that knows your projects.
