EWP Certification Western Australia
Western Australia's EWP fleet is spread across one of the world's largest resource economies, where the distances between sites can be as challenging as the work itself. Perth metropolitan construction and utilities operations demand the same documentation rigour as equipment in the Pilbara iron ore region, the Goldfields-Esperance corridor, and the agricultural south-west. Boom lifts on civil and commercial projects, scissor lifts in Perth's warehousing and manufacturing sector, cherry picker trucks on the Western Power and NBN networks, and insulated platforms at substations across the state — all need current certification under AS 2550.10 regardless of how far from Perth they operate.
We cover Western Australia from the Perth metropolitan area through Bunbury, Geraldton, Albany, Kalgoorlie, Port Hedland and regional locations. Distance is built into the service — we come to the machine rather than requiring your WA fleet to travel to a certification facility. One enquiry across your Western Australian plant identifies each machine's certification status, maps what is due, and coordinates the full assessment cycle without it falling on your operations team to manage.

The Process
Confirm the WA machine, location and history
We record the make, model, age and precise Western Australian location alongside any existing logbook and prior inspection history. For remote WA sites — Pilbara, Goldfields, south-west — we confirm logistics at the same time so travel is coordinated, not left to sort out after booking.
Inspect and test at the WA operating location
Annual inspection, NDT, load and stability testing and the major structural assessment when it falls due are all carried out at the machine's location in Western Australia — Perth metro, Bunbury, Geraldton, Kalgoorlie, regional and remote sites — to the same AS 2550.10 standard regardless of geography.
Engineering report where WA plant needs sign-off
WA mine sites and major-project principal contractors often require an engineering assessment alongside inspection findings, particularly for older machines or those with field modifications. We include this within the same engagement rather than asking you to source a separate engineer.
Deliver certified documentation for WA compliance
Logbook entries and a full inspection report are returned after every assessment. For WA mining and resource projects the documentation is prepared to the standard those sites expect — clear, traceable, and covering every element assessed.
Compliance & Standards
Western Australia adopted the harmonised work health and safety legislation framework, placing duties on plant owners and duty holders to ensure plant is safe and that records evidence it. AS 2550.10 is the standard governing EWP inspection and certification in WA as in every other state. For equipment operating on WA mine sites, additional obligations under the Mines Safety and Inspection Act and associated regulations apply — requiring the same quality of inspection and documentation, applied under a safety management system the site operator maintains. We are familiar with both frameworks and produce records that stand up to WA mine-site auditors, principal contractors and government procurement requirements.
Why EWP Australia

- Resource sector and mine-site documentation experience
- Annual, NDT, load testing and major assessments without plant relocation
- Engineering reports where WA plant requires structural sign-off
- Records that satisfy WA WHS, mining safety and principal contractor requirements
- One coordinator across the full Western Australian EWP fleet
Common Questions
Can you certify EWPs at Pilbara or Goldfields mine sites?
Yes. We are familiar with the site-access, induction and documentation requirements of WA resource and mining sites. Assessments at remote WA locations are confirmed and coordinated when the enquiry comes in, not left open until we arrive on site.
My WA equipment operates in extreme heat. Does that change the certification?
Not the standard itself, but it does affect how thoroughly the inspection addresses thermal cycling fatigue, seal and hose degradation, and hydraulic fluid condition. We take operating environment into account during assessment rather than applying a uniform checklist regardless of the conditions the machine has faced.
Can you cover scissor lifts and boom lifts across multiple Perth sites?
Yes. Multi-site fleet assessments across the Perth metropolitan area and outer suburbs are managed as a single coordinated programme, with scheduling arranged to minimise downtime. All documentation comes through a single coordinator.
Do you certify truck-mounted EWPs on the WA power network?
Yes. Cherry picker trucks, bucket trucks and insulated EWPs used on the Western Power distribution network and other WA utility infrastructure are fully within scope. Insulated EWP electrical testing is included as part of the certification for those units.
