EWP Repairs & Servicing in Alice Springs

Alice Springs sits in the arid centre of the continent, a remote service town supporting Central Australian communities, pastoral stations, tourism around the ranges and government and defence infrastructure. Everything about the climate here is hard on an access platform: fierce daytime heat and fine red desert dust in summer, then genuinely cold desert nights and winter frosts, so a machine swings through a huge temperature range in a single day. Dust is the constant, working past seals into rams, bearings and radiators, while the heat thins oil and the cold cracks hoses — and with the nearest large workshops many hundreds of kilometres away, a fault left to fester is a serious problem.

EWP Australia looks after platforms in Alice Springs and out through Central Australia. Faults in the hydraulics, electrics and structure are diagnosed and fixed, the maker's scheduled servicing is kept up, cylinders are resealed and tired parts rebuilt, and weld and structural work is finished to the applicable standard, with any inspection defect list cleared and signed off. With such long distances at play, the priority is picking up wear during a service and closing defects out thoroughly, so a platform is never left stranded a long way from help. Each machine is function checked before it goes back to work.
