Our History
A unified identity with over 100 years of shared experience
CERTEX Lifting was formed in 2022 through the consolidation of six of Australia’s lifting and rigging experts: The Rigging Shed, Lifting Victoria, On Call Lifting, Elevate Lifting & Rigging, and Schillings Hoisting Equipment.
Who We Are
CERTEX Lifting represents a national network of 125 employees across 10 sites and has a proud history of providing safe, innovative and reliable lifting and rigging solutions throughout Australia.
Since 1997, Elevate Lifting and Rigging has supplied lifting, hoisting and rigging equipment across Victoria, leading the industry with quality products, service, customer advice and supplier training.
Lifting Victoria has been a trusted provider of high-quality lifting, rigging, and height safety solutions since 1995. It always prioritises safety in operations.
The Rigging Shed has provided clients throughout the WA region with expert lifting and rigging solutions since 2000.
On Call Lifting, in New South Wales, offers 20+ years of industry experience and technical know-how to help achieve rigging, lifting or height safety solutions.
