Haulotte EWP Inspections, Servicing & Sales
Haulotte, the French access maker, turns up across Australian fleets through its Compact scissors, HA articulating booms and Star vertical masts. As an independent shop we inspect, service, repair and load-test Haulotte machines, keeping them compliant and productive no matter who first supplied them.
We are not a Haulotte dealership and hold no authorised-agent title, and we will not pretend we do. Our value is plain independence: clear condition reporting and diligent work to the Australian Standards. Haulotte machines run in the fleets we maintain and the stock we sell, and a Haulotte Compact 12 scissor sits in our own hire fleet.
Haulotte Capabilities
EWP Australia is an independent specialist — not a dealership. These are the Haulotte services we coordinate nationally.
Routine & annual inspections
Haulotte scissors, booms and masts examined to AS 2550.10 — lifting structure, hydraulics, controls and safety systems — with a logbook entry kept for each machine.
Ten-year major inspections
On reaching ten years, Haulotte plant needs a strip-down, structural assessment and recertification, and we arrange all of it under the AS 2550.10 framework.
NDT & load testing
Crack detection across Haulotte boom sections, pins and welds, backed by load and stability trials that prove the machine still meets its rated safe working load.
Repairs & scheduled maintenance
Impartial hydraulic, mechanical and electrical repair of Haulotte equipment, supported by planned servicing that keeps machines dependable between inspections.
Buying, selling & pre-purchase checks
We trade used Haulotte machines and inspect any Haulotte unit before purchase, so the decision rests on genuine condition rather than an optimistic listing.
Haulotte Ranges We See
Compact scissor lifts
Electric scissors such as the Compact 12 sized for indoor and light outdoor vertical access where a small footprint matters.
HA articulating booms
Knuckle booms that reach up and over obstructions for maintenance and construction access on more complex sites.
Star vertical masts
Compact mast lifts built for tight, low-level indoor work such as retail, warehouse and facilities maintenance.
Telescopic booms
Straight booms for outdoor height and outreach on civil and industrial applications where a clear line to the work is available.
Inspection & Service Notes
- Compact scissors are frequently used indoors, so the lifting stack, guide rollers, maintenance props and non-marking wheels are checked for wear and correct function.
- Articulating booms carry several pivots and joints, so pin condition, bushing wear and hose routing through the articulation are assessed during inspection.
- Vertical mast lifts rely on the mast sections and guide system running true, which is verified before a unit returns to service.
- Haulotte control and hydraulic faults get traced through the machine's own circuitry, so every repair stays targeted and is fully written up.
Haulotte: An Inspector's Guide
Independent, non-dealer guidance on how we approach Haulotte equipment and how owners can plan maintenance and inspections.
Haulotte machines in Australia lean toward compact electric scissors, Star vertical masts and HA knuckle booms — equipment chosen for indoor fit-outs, retail and facilities work where footprint and floor loading matter more than outright reach. An inspector approaches that fleet with the indoor working environment front of mind, because clean-floor duty hides a different set of wear points to a muddy civil site.
We assess each Haulotte unit against its own plate and logbook, then work through the lifting structure, guide systems and safety circuits that keep a low-level machine safe in tight, populated spaces.
What Inspectors Focus On
- Non-marking wheels, guide rollers and the lifting stack on Compact scissors, where indoor duty and frequent short cycles wear things quietly.
- Mast-section alignment and the guide system on Star vertical masts, checked so the platform tracks true with no bind through its travel.
- Articulation pins, bushes and hose routing on HA knuckle booms used for the harder outdoor reach jobs.
- Emergency-lowering and platform-control functions, verified live, since these machines often work above pedestrians and shopfront traffic.
Maintenance Planning Notes
- Indoor Haulotte scissors and masts still need a real maintenance rhythm even though they look clean — dust ingress and battery cycling do the damage that mud does outdoors.
- Being self-propelled, Haulotte scissors, masts and booms usually reach their major inspection near the ten-year point, so keep each machine's build date logged and schedule around it.
- Where a unit works over the public or in occupied buildings, keep the safety-function records especially tidy; those are the checks an auditor looks at first.
- Rotate charging and battery-maintenance discipline into the plan for electric units, because premature battery failure is the most common avoidable downtime on this class.
Our Haulotte scissors only ever work indoors on clean floors — do they still need thorough inspection?
Yes. A clean working environment does not remove wear; it changes it. Indoor Haulotte units accumulate battery cycling, dust ingress into control and drive components, and stack and guide-roller wear from frequent short lifts. We inspect those machines to the same standard as any other, because the safety systems still have to perform above people.
How should we plan maintenance for a Haulotte Star mast lift?
A Star mast lift stands or falls on its mast sections staying aligned and its guides tracking true, so keep them clean and adjusted, mind the battery and charger, and record the safety-function checks each period. Being self-propelled, it also reaches its major inspection near ten years of age — a milestone worth planning toward early.
Common Questions
Are you a Haulotte dealer or authorised agent?
No. Haulotte equipment is something we service, repair, load-test, inspect and trade while working as an independent EWP specialist working on Haulotte plant; we hold no Haulotte dealership or authorised-service standing, and that keeps our condition reporting on your Haulotte impartial.
Can you inspect a Haulotte we own already?
Yes. Our inspections are independent and cover any Haulotte machine, assessed to AS 2550.10 with findings recorded in the logbook so your records are audit-ready.
Do you have a Haulotte available?
A Haulotte Compact 12 scissor is in our hire fleet right now, and other Haulotte units pass through our sale stock. Call 0416 689 689 to see what is free and set up hire.
Can you carry out a Haulotte major inspection?
Yes. When a Haulotte machine reaches ten years we set up the Haulotte deep strip-out, crack testing and the recertification AS 2550.10 mandates. Call 0416 689 689 and we will schedule it around how you operate.
