5-Year Major EWP Inspections in Bundaberg
Bundaberg's sugar and agricultural base creates a fleet whose mid-life major inspection point often arrives mid-season, when the machine is working hard and the owner's attention is elsewhere. Planning the 5-year major — where the equipment class requires it rather than a 10-year interval — for the off-season window is the practical solution, because a machine quarantined during crushing or harvest costs far more in downtime than the same machine inspected in the quiet months before the season opens.
EWP Australia delivers 5-year major inspections across Bundaberg and the Wide Bay region — class confirmation before any teardown is started, then structural assessment, NDT and documentation. The scope and expected duration are agreed before work begins so the off-season window is used efficiently.
5-Year Major Inspections — The Scope
- Class confirmation — we verify whether a 5 or 10-year major applies to each machine
- Teardown-level assessment of structural and load-bearing components
- NDT (crack testing) of welds, pins, slew rings and structural connections
- Hydraulic and electrical overhaul assessment at the disassembly level
- Functional and load testing on completion
- Engineering documentation establishing the machine's new inspection baseline

5-Year Major Inspections in Bundaberg — Common Questions
Can the 5-year major be planned around Bundaberg's sugar crushing season?
Yes — and that's the recommended approach. Completing the major in the off-season keeps the machine available when the season demands it and avoids forced downtime during peak.
Which Wide Bay machines need a 5-year major versus a 10-year inspection?
Equipment class determines the applicable milestone. We confirm which interval applies to each machine before any teardown is planned.
