EWP Repairs & Servicing in Albany

Albany is the main centre of Western Australia's Great Southern, a historic port town on the wild southern coast with a working harbour, a strong grain and wool agricultural belt inland, and a growing tourism and construction sector. The southern coast is exposed to the full force of the Southern Ocean, so access platforms here face driving salt-laden weather and a cool, wet, windy climate for much of the year. That combination pushes corrosion into structure and electrics and keeps machines damp for long stretches, while the cooler temperatures are hard on batteries and cold starts — a different set of stresses to the hot, dry inland WA country.

Across Albany and the Great Southern, EWP Australia maintains and repairs the region's access platforms. Problems in the hydraulics, electrics and steel are diagnosed and put right, the maker's routine servicing is carried out on time, rams are resealed and worn parts overhauled, and weld, structural and corrosion jobs are finished to the applicable standard, so any defect flagged during an inspection is closed off and documented. A machine is function checked before heading back to work, and structural repairs are verified with a rated load test.
