10-Year Major Inspections in Adelaide
Adelaide fleets tend to keep machines longer than the eastern capitals — scissor lifts that have worked manufacturing and logistics sites in Wingfield and Regency Park for a decade, boom lifts and cherry pickers rotating through construction and the Port Adelaide and Osborne defence corridor, insulated EWPs used near SA Power Networks infrastructure. A well-maintained machine in a smaller market often works well past its first decade, which makes the 10-year major the decision point that determines its second life. Done properly, the major turns an ageing scissor lift or boom into a documented, load-tested asset; skipped, it turns into an uninsurable liability.
EWP Australia delivers 10-year major inspections for Adelaide owners — scissor lifts, boom lifts, cherry pickers and insulated EWPs — from northern-suburbs trade fleets to machines working the Osborne corridor where documentation standards run defence-grade. Strip-down, NDT, hydraulic and electrical assessment, load testing and a full engineering record — scoped and quoted before work begins.
10-Year Major Inspections — The Scope
- Full strip-down and inspection of structural and load-bearing components
- NDT (crack testing) of welds, pins, bosses and critical sections
- Hydraulic, electrical and safety-system overhaul assessment
- Load testing on completion, witnessed and documented
- Engineering documentation recording the machine's new inspection baseline
- A clear scope and quote before work starts — no open-ended rebuilds

10-Year Major Inspections in Adelaide — Common Questions
My Adelaide machine is past ten years and never had a major. What now?
Get it assessed before booking more work on it. We inspect first, then give you the real options: major it, restrict it, or move it on — with honest numbers for each.
Can the major be staged around my workload?
Within limits, yes — the machine has to come apart, but when it comes apart is plannable. Tell us your quiet periods and we schedule around them.
