OPS backs Elite’s next chapter in contract crushing

OPS Screening & Crushing is proud to support Elite Maintenance Solutions as they take the next step in their growth and deliver large-scale crushing contracts across Western Australia and Northern Territory.

While this may be their first major crushing contract, Elite is no newcomer to the crushing game. Since 2020, they have been a steady force in the mobile crushing industry, providing mobile crusher hire, mechanical support, operate and maintain contracts, and turnkey solutions. This latest move into full-service contract crushing is a natural evolution of their capabilities, built on years of hands-on experience, technical insight, and a strong commitment to uptime and performance.

Leading the charge is Reece, Managing Director of Elite, who brings a deep background in both mobile and fixed plant operations. With extensive experience across mining and civil projects, Reece’s leadership style blends operational discipline with a people-first approach. He ensures his team plays to their strengths and that each job is completed to the highest standard.

In partnership with OPS, Elite has commissioned a fully mobile, three-stage crushing circuit to process gold ore for mill feed in the Goldfields. The setup includes a C-1545 cone crusher with pre-screen, accepting all-in feed from the primary crusher. Secondary crushed material is screened via a Finlay 696 three-deck incline screen, with oversize routed through a C-1540 tertiary cone crusher for re-crushing and re-circulation. The final product, a fines fraction, is stockpiled using a Telestack TC 424X 24-metre stacker and transported by road train to the mill.

The Telestack component represents a significant milestone, marking the 100th TC 424X sold into Australia by the OPS Group. It is a proud achievement and a testament to the trust placed in Telestack’s performance and reliability under Australian conditions. Known for their ease of transport and robust design, these stackers continue to set the standard in material handling.

Elite’s first full-scale crushing contract is now well underway. With plans for future expansion across Western Australia and Northern Territory, OPS will continue to provide support through quality equipment, expert advice, and boots-on-the-ground service.
