5-Year Major EWP Inspections in Adelaide
Adelaide's industrial base tends to operate at a steady pace rather than in booms, and that can mask how quickly a mid-life inspection milestone arrives. A machine that's worked reliably through the northern industrial belt for five or six years can look fine externally while the structural and safety-critical systems a 5-year major inspection examines are accumulating wear that a service record doesn't capture.
EWP Australia carries out 5-year major inspections across metropolitan Adelaide — class confirmation first, then teardown-level assessment of structural and load-bearing components, NDT of welds and critical connection points, and documentation that satisfies the compliance reviews Adelaide's commercial, defence-adjacent and government clients run. Scope and timing are agreed before work begins.
5-Year Major Inspections — The Scope
- Class confirmation — we verify whether a 5 or 10-year major applies to each machine
- Teardown-level assessment of structural and load-bearing components
- NDT (crack testing) of welds, pins, slew rings and structural connections
- Hydraulic and electrical overhaul assessment at the disassembly level
- Functional and load testing on completion
- Engineering documentation establishing the machine's new inspection baseline

5-Year Major Inspections in Adelaide — Common Questions
Does the 5-year major apply to all EWPs in an Adelaide fleet?
Not universally — the applicable interval depends on equipment class. We confirm which milestone applies to each machine before any teardown work starts.
Can 5-year majors be timed around Adelaide's industrial maintenance calendar?
Yes — tell us the maintenance windows and project commitments when you enquire and we plan the major inspection around them.
