5-Year Major EWP Inspections in Cairns

For a machine that's worked five years in Far North Queensland, the teardown assessment at the major inspection is a tropical-corrosion audit as much as a structural assessment. Wet-season humidity, salt air from the Coral Sea and the biological growth that FNQ's warm, wet conditions encourage find their way into sealed structural sections in ways the annual inspection identifies but can't fully quantify without opening the machine up. The mid-life major, where the equipment class requires it at 5 or 10 years, is when that full picture is taken.

EWP Australia carries out 5-year major inspections across Cairns and Far North Queensland — confirming first whether the class requires a 5 or 10-year major milestone, then delivering the teardown assessment with the tropical-corrosion focus that FNQ machines demand. NDT of structural welds and critical sections, hydraulic and electrical assessment, and documentation resetting the machine's inspection baseline are formatted for the compliance reviews Cairns' construction, marine and government clients run.
