Major EWP Inspections in Alice Springs

Years in Central Australia age a machine differently to years anywhere else. Extreme heat cycles work on hydraulics and seals, fine dust finds its way into every bearing and cylinder, and UV degrades everything it touches — and because a machine out here is a long way from replacement, owners tend to keep equipment longer, which makes the major inspection a genuinely important decision. That major falls due at either the 5-year or the 10-year mark depending on the equipment class.

EWP Australia carries out major inspections for Alice Springs and Central Australian owners — full strip-down of load-bearing structure, NDT of critical welds and pins, hydraulic and electrical overhaul assessment, load testing on completion and the engineering documentation that resets the machine's inspection baseline. The scope is agreed and quoted before disassembly, so the job can't quietly become an open-ended rebuild.

FAQs

10-Year Major Inspections in Alice Springs — Common Questions

How do I find out if ours majors at 5 years or at 10?

The equipment class settles it — certain machines are due at 5 years while others don't reach the major until 10. Hand us the make, model and type and we'll confirm your machine's point ahead of any booking.

Out here, does it make more sense to major an old machine or just buy new?

More often than not, majoring wins. A machine with sound steel that you already know your way around holds real value when a replacement is slow and dear to freight into Central Australia. We give the condition a straight assessment and tell you plainly which way yours leans.
