NDT & Load Testing in Bendigo
Cracks in central Victorian machines rarely announce themselves. Long highway transport between towns, dusty civil sites and the constant thermal cycling of the region's climate all drive fatigue into welds, pins and bosses well before anything is visible on the surface. Crack testing is how a Bendigo owner finds those indications while they're still a planned repair rather than a breakdown two hours from the nearest workshop.
EWP Australia provides magnetic particle, dye penetrant and eddy current testing plus certified load testing for EWPs and cranes across Bendigo and the goldfields. Testing runs standalone after impact, overload or a suspect weld, or as part of annual, five-year and ten-year inspections — with reports that record exactly what was tested, where, to what method and with what result.

- Magnetic particle, dye penetrant and eddy current crack testing
- NDT of booms, welds, pins, bosses, chassis and outrigger structures
- Load testing to rated capacity with certified weights
- Testing as part of annual, 5-year and 10-year major inspections
- Reports that identify exactly what was tested, where and to what method
- Repair recommendations when indications are found — not just a fail stamp

NDT & Load Testing in Bendigo — Common Questions
There's a weld on the boom I'm not confident about — do you have to test the whole machine to check it?
Not at all. Crack testing can be limited to the one area that's worrying you, and if there's a genuine indication behind it you'll be given a repair path rather than a bare fail result.
Would the load test have to happen off site, or can it be run where the machine sits?
It can generally be run wherever the machine already is, because the certified weights are brought along. Give us the address and a sense of the access when booking and the test is planned around that.
