Elliott Machine Works, now part of Stellar, understands the value of high-quality equipment that withstands tough conditions, especially in the mining sector. This core value is deeply embedded in our product design and has been shaped by our extensive experience in the coal fields of West Virginia, eastern Kentucky and northern Virginia. Elliott has also manufactured service equipment for use in oil sands operations in the extreme north and precious metals mining in the southern regions. From high-altitude applications to underground environments, we have consistently delivered effective solutions to meet our customers’ service needs.

In the oil and gas industry, where thousands of gallons of hazardous waste are transported on public highways, partnering with a reputable tank manufacturer is crucial. As part of Stellar, Elliott Machine Works remains committed to staying up to date with the latest regulations from the Department of Transportation (DOT). Our certifications with the Federal Government enable us to manufacture tanks compliant with DOT406, DOT407 and DOT412 standards. This accomplishment is a point of pride for us and an essential aspect of the design we incorporate into all our products.

Elliott Machine Works specializes in manufacturing Locomotive Service Units that provide fuel, oil, sand dispensing and wastewater evacuation. As a proud member of the Stellar family, we offer custom-built LSTs designed to meet the specific needs of your rail yard. Understanding the urgency of locomotive refueling and servicing, we prioritize safety and efficiency in every design, ensuring minimal downtime for your operations.

The equipment used for moving dirt, building bridges and constructing highways requires routine maintenance and fuel to operate efficiently. As part of the Stellar brand, Elliott Machine Works offers a range of service equipment, from compact lube skids that easily install in the back of a pickup to tandem axle fuel and lube trucks designed for hauling fuel to your time-constrained jobsite. We understand that your service truck must not only deliver products safely but also look good on local highways. With increasing regulations such as Federal Bridge Laws and Frost Laws, you can rely on our team to perform accurate weight distribution estimates for your custom units.

Elliott Machine Works takes great pride in having built thousands of units used by the United States military. Many of these units, originally manufactured in the 1960s, were replaced by Elliott equipment in the early 2000s. From water buffalos that transport drinking water for troops to fuel and lube units that replenish fuel and oil for heavy machinery, we remain committed to providing quality equipment to our service men and women. As part of Stellar, we are excited to continue supporting military operations with our innovative solutions and unwavering dedication to excellence.
