Steel Erection Capabilities
Elpee’s Steelworks delivers expert steel erection that bring precision-fabricated structures to life safely, efficiently, and on time. From industrial warehouses and farm sheds to commercial buildings and custom structures, we specialise in the full erection process using our own fleet of specialised machinery and equipment.
Since 1984, we’ve grown into a trusted name in South Africa’s structural steel industry, proudly offering in-house erection capabilities that streamline projects and minimise delays.
Complete In-House Steel Erection Services
Unlike many contractors who rely on external providers for critical site services, Elpee’s Steelworks handles all aspects of the erection phase using our own resources. This guarantees greater control, improved coordination, and a smoother build process from start to finish.
Our steel erectioncapabilities include:
- Onsite assembly and installation of structural steel frames and components
- Safe lifting of heavy steel members with our own mobile crane
- Accurate placement of pre-fabricated components aligned to structural drawings
- Efficient site logistics using our own transport and material handling equipment
- Skilled supervision and labour teams for safe, compliant site work
Our Equipment Makes the Difference
- 22-Ton Kato Mobile Crane: Imported from Ireland in 2013, this high-performance mobile crane significantly enhances our in-house steel erection capacity. It allows us to lift and place steel components with precision, even in complex or limited-access environments.
- Manitou Telescopic Handler: This versatile machine helps us manage material on site, moving steel sections, sheeting, and hardware safely and efficiently between trucks and work zones.
- In-House Fleet of Transport Trucks: We operate our own fleet of trucks to move fabricated steel from our Heidelberg-based factory directly to your site. Our transport division ensures our erection equipment, including cranes and handlers, is on site when needed, keeping your project moving without third-party delays.
