Established in 2011, Eqstra Heavy Lift Equipment (EHLE) is the industrial heavy lifting and port equipment arm of Eqstra Industrial Equipment (EIE), which forms a part of the JSE-listed Eqstra Holdings Group.
EHLE provides the industrial sector with a comprehensive range of services, including long- and short-term rentals, parts supply, service and maintenance contracts, sales of new and used equipment and operator driver training. The division’s product line-up includes cranes, port terminal handling equipment, excavators and an innovative mobility of large tracked equipment system among other heavy equipment.
EHLE is the supplier and distributor of the Broderson carry deck mobile cranes, as well as the Sleipner transport system specialising in the mobility of large tracked equipment . Following the signing of an authorised partnership between the company and Toyota Tsusho Africa, EHLE now also distributes the Kobelco range of excavators, with an operating weight of up to 85 t.
Further, EHLE is also adding Link-Belt mobile cranes to its portfolio of heavy equipment. Known worldwide for its telescopic boom and lattice boom cranes, Link-Belt offers the construction industry one of the most diverse line-up of cranes available.
Besides their cranes’ reliability and smooth, pinpoint hydraulic controls, Link-Belt cranes also provide a number of unique features that set them apart from their competition. For example, the incorporation of hydrostatic drive on their six-wheel rough terrain cranes eliminates the need for axles and provides a tighter turning radius with greater flexibility on the jobsite. The use of a six-wheel rough terrain crane also allows for lower profile tires which reduce overall deck and transport height for ease of transport.
ELHE carries a full range of parts for all the products it supplies and also provides aftermarket service and support.
