Ports & Wharves Access Services

Ports and wharves rely on elevated work platforms for crane maintenance, lighting towers, shed and gantry access, vessel-side work and general terminal upkeep in a salt-laden, heavy-duty and continuously operating environment. Inspections are required because corrosion, high utilisation and safety-critical lifting near water accelerate wear, so every boom, scissor and truck-mounted EWP must be inspected and certified to stay in service. We inspect, test, certify, service and repair access equipment for port operators and stevedores against AS 2550 and AS 1418, with documented records that meet terminal safety and audit requirements. Typical equipment includes rough-terrain and articulating booms for quayside and shed access, scissor lifts for warehouse and office maintenance and truck-mounted platforms for lighting and gantry work. Our engineering inspection process covers structure, hydraulics and control systems with particular attention to corrosion, coordinates non-destructive testing (NDT) on load-bearing welds and pins, and issues compliance certificates per asset. Major inspections are carried out at 5-year or 10-year intervals depending on equipment class and standard. We manage whole terminal fleets, reduce downtime with planned servicing and rapid breakdown response around 24/7 operations, and deliver national servicing capability — trusted across Australia at ports and wharves.
