Annual EWP Inspections in Brisbane
Brisbane's construction market is building toward 2032, which means scissor lifts, boom lifts and cherry pickers are flooding into the city's fleet faster than renewal schedules are being set up for them. Many of those units — knuckle boom lifts on TradeCoast projects, electric scissors in Acacia Ridge and Wacol logistics facilities, cherry pickers working residential access across the metro — are approaching their first annual inspection without an established compliance routine. Insulated EWPs operating near electrical infrastructure carry the same obligation. Queensland heat and humidity don't slow the degradation clock while paperwork gets organised.
EWP Australia carries out annual EWP inspections across Brisbane, Ipswich, Logan and Moreton Bay — scissor lifts, boom lifts, cherry pickers, insulated EWPs and truck-mounted platforms. Each inspection assesses structure, hydraulics, electrical systems and every safety function against the standard for that machine's class, with a Queensland-climate emphasis on corrosion, seal performance and the electrical faults that humidity accelerates year-round.
Annual EWP Inspections — The Scope
- Scheduled annual inspection under AS 2550 for each machine class
- Structural, mechanical, hydraulic and electrical assessment
- Function and safety-system testing for all controls
- Defect rating report with prioritised remediation guidance
- Digital inspection records per machine, formatted for compliance review
- Due-date tracking across the fleet so no machine lapses without advance notice

Annual EWP Inspections in Brisbane — Common Questions
We've just moved machines to Brisbane for a project — how do we set up an inspection schedule?
Bring us the machines' inspection histories and due dates and we establish a going-forward schedule from there. If the history is incomplete, we carry out a baseline inspection and set the renewal date from that point.
Can annual inspections be booked around Queensland weather windows?
They can, and many owners deliberately schedule renewals before the wet season so machines come out certified rather than overdue when the next busy period opens.
10-Year Major Inspection — Brisbane
Every EWP reaches a 10-year major inspection milestone — a full structural strip-down, NDT of welds and pins, load testing and engineering documentation that resets the machine's compliance baseline. If your Brisbane machine is approaching or past ten years, this is the next step.
