EWP Mechanical Repairs in Bunbury
Bunbury is south-west Western Australia's main port city, with a working environment for access equipment that spans the port and grain export precinct, the timber and woodchip processing operations, and the agriculture and mining supply corridors running into the South West. The port exposure means salt air reaches structural joints and weld toes on machines working the harbour side, while the hot, dry summers drive lubricant from slew rings and drive components faster than in a temperate coastal climate. Machines serving the mining supply chain can spend extended periods away from the city, accumulating wear in demanding remote conditions.
EWP Australia carries out structural and mechanical repairs across Bunbury and the south-west region — weld cracks assessed and repaired to the applicable standard, pin and bush sets in boom articulation points replaced when port-side corrosion or drive-route wear has taken them out of spec, slew rings inspected and adjusted or replaced, and drive systems in the wider fleet stripped and overhauled. Post-repair load testing and documentation are standard on all structural work.
Mechanical Repairs — The Scope
- Structural fault diagnosis and rectification to the applicable AS standard
- Weld repair and post-repair inspection of booms, chassis and load-bearing sections
- Slew ring, pivot point and turntable assessment, repair and replacement
- Pins, bushes, bearings and wear-surface inspection and replacement
- Drive system and travel motor assessment, repair and component overhaul
- Post-repair function and load testing with documented sign-off

Mechanical Repairs in Bunbury — Common Questions
We work near the port — how does salt air affect the structural maintenance schedule?
Coastal salt accelerates corrosion at weld toes, joint surfaces and fastener threads, which means structural items should be checked more frequently than a purely inland machine — at minimum at every annual inspection, with specific attention to weld toe condition and paint integrity. Earlier identification of corrosion at structural locations keeps repairs minor.
A machine returning from a south-west forestry job has drive wear — can that be assessed without a full disassembly?
We start with a driven assessment — loading the drive under controlled conditions and listening and measuring — which identifies most drive faults without disassembly. If that points to internal wear, we disassemble only the relevant component rather than stripping the whole drive system, which keeps the repair scope as tight as the actual fault.
