10-Year Major Inspections in Ballarat

Ballarat's machines earn their fatigue in cold weather — scissor lifts that have spent a decade in Wendouree and Delacombe factories and logistics sites, boom lifts on the construction and wind-farm projects expanding across the region, and cherry pickers handling trade and utility work across the goldfields towns. A decade of frost cycles, cold-morning starts and factory shifts is hard on seals, hoses and hydraulics, while manufacturing and construction duty loads the structure the whole time. The 10-year major is where all of that gets found: the machine comes apart, the welds and pins are crack tested, and the structure is examined properly for the first time since it left the factory.

EWP Australia delivers 10-year major inspections for Ballarat and Central Highlands owners across scissor lifts, boom lifts and cherry pickers of all makes and models. Strip-down, NDT, hydraulic and electrical overhaul assessment, load testing and full engineering documentation — with the scope agreed and quoted before disassembly, and a straight recommendation if the machine isn't worth the investment.

FAQs

10-Year Major Inspections in Ballarat — Common Questions

Winter is our quiet season — can the major be done then?

That's often the smart play. Booking the major for your quiet months means the machine is re-baselined and ready when the busy season starts, not parked in the middle of it.

Does cold-climate service change what the major looks for?

The structural scope is the same, but hydraulic components, seals and hoses that have lived through Ballarat winters get particular attention — cold cycling ages them faster than hours alone.
