Annual EWP Inspections
Every elevated work platform needs a documented annual inspection to stay compliant and safe to operate. We coordinate periodic EWP inspections carried out to AS 2550.10, covering the structural, hydraulic, mechanical and safety systems that keep your plant working and your operators protected.
Whether you run a single boom lift or a mixed fleet across multiple sites, the whole program is arranged through one enquiry. You get consistent standards, tidy documentation and a schedule that lines up with your service intervals — so an inspection due date never catches you off guard.

The Process
Book & confirm scope
Tell us the make, model, location and due dates. We confirm the units in scope and the best time to inspect around your operations.
On-site inspection
Inspectors assess structure, hydraulics, controls and safety systems against AS 2550.10, working through the equipment methodically.
Logbook & reporting
Findings are recorded in the machine logbook and a documented report, with any defects clearly rated and prioritised.
Rectify & re-inspect
Where defects are found we can arrange the repairs and re-check the unit so it returns to service compliant.
Compliance & Standards
Elevated work platforms are designed to AS/NZS 1418.10 and maintained and inspected under AS 2550.10, which sets out the requirements for safe use, including periodic and annual inspections. Every inspection is documented in the logbook so your records stand up to audit and your duty-holder obligations are met.

Common Questions
How often does an EWP need an annual inspection?
In addition to routine checks at each service, AS 2550.10 requires a documented annual inspection. Heavily used or high-risk plant may warrant more frequent assessment, and we can help you set a schedule that reflects how the equipment is actually used.
What does the annual inspection cover?
The inspection assesses structural, hydraulic, mechanical and safety systems, along with the controls and emergency functions. Findings are recorded against AS 2550.10 and entered into the machine logbook.
Do you inspect equipment we didn't buy from you?
Yes. Inspections are independent and cover all makes and models, whether you own the plant, hire it long term, or manage it on behalf of another party.
What happens if the inspection finds a defect?
Every defect is documented and rated so you can see what is safety-critical. We can then arrange the repairs and re-inspect the unit so it goes back into service compliant.
