Major EWP Inspections in Albany (5 & 10-Year)
A decade in the Great Southern is a decade of damp and salt. Albany's cool, wet climate and its exposed Southern Ocean coast keep moisture working on machines year-round, driving corrosion into box sections, pin bores and electrical systems in ways a walk-around inspection can never confirm. The major inspection is the point at which a machine is stripped back to bare structure and that hidden decade of coastal weather is finally accounted for.
EWP Australia runs major inspections for Albany owners — full structural strip-down, NDT of welds, pins and bosses, hydraulic and electrical overhaul assessment, load testing and the engineering documentation that resets the machine's inspection baseline. Major inspections fall due at five or ten years depending on the machine's class, which we confirm first, then the scope and quote are agreed before disassembly so the job stays defined.
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 Albany — Common Questions
In a climate this wet, does corrosion tend to be the main thing a major finds?
More often than not, yes. Moisture-fed corrosion that has settled deep in the load-bearing members is just what the strip-down and crack testing set out to uncover, and dealing with it at the major is far cheaper than a failure once the machine is back at work.
Which cycle is my machine on — the five-year major or the ten-year one?
The equipment class decides it — some machines are five-year, others ten. Send the make, model and compliance-plate details across and the correct interval is confirmed before anything is booked.
