Stenhouse Lifting

Founded over 25 years ago in Yatala as a family business, Stenhouse Lifting Equipment has grown from humble beginnings into a leading provider of lifting solutions with four branches and a dedicated team of professionals. Our expansion reflects not just our success, but our unwavering commitment to our core values that guide every aspect of our operations.

At Stenhouse, every staff member plays a crucial role in upholding our reputation and ensuring the highest standards of safety and quality. During recruitment and throughout the probationary period, it is essential for new team members to align with our core values including:

  • Safety First: We prioritize the safety of our staff and clients above all else, adhering strictly to Australian Standards and WorkSafe Codes of Practice. Our commitment is non-negotiable; even under client pressure, our focus on safety remains steadfast.
  • Quality Always: We are dedicated to delivering exceptional quality in every aspect of our work.
  • Innovation: We strive to be at the forefront of the lifting industry, continuously seeking improvements and advancements.

Stenhouse Lifting Equipment is committed to ensuring that everyone associated with our company goes home safe. Our dedication to safety, quality, and ethical standards is unbending, reflecting our deep respect for the well-being of our team and clients.

In May 2024, Stenhouse Lifting joined forces with Swedish industrial group, Axel Johnson International Lifting Solutions Group. This strategic move aims to strengthen their position in the Australian lifting sector, driven by a shared commitment to values and long-term vision.

Our History

Eagle Farm – Due to ongoing client demand and our commitment to providing local service to all Southeast Queensland, we made the decision to open up our new branch at Eagle Farm in 2023.

Maryborough – After careful deliberation, we decided to relocate our Bundaberg branch to Maryborough in 2017 to improve our service delivery to the Wide Bay Region.

Wacol  – With our strong and loyal client partnerships at Stenhouse, this drove the decision to expand, and in September 2009, our second branch was opened in Wacol.

Yatala – Launched in 1997, Stenhouse is proudly a third-generation family business. From day one, we have hand-picked our team for the attitude, skills and training our safety-critical work demands.
