Annual EWP Inspections in Canberra
Government and institutional clients in Canberra tend to make annual inspection currency a condition of contract, not an afterthought. Scissor lifts working inside government buildings and university precincts, boom lifts and cherry pickers on ACT construction and infrastructure projects in Gungahlin and Belconnen, and insulated EWPs operating near ActewAGL electrical assets are all checked at procurement and periodically during engagement. A lapsed inspection date on any of these machine types creates a contract problem, not just a compliance note.
EWP Australia carries out annual EWP inspections across the ACT and Queanbeyan — scissor lifts, boom lifts, cherry pickers, insulated EWPs and truck-mounted platforms — with inspection records structured for the formal audit trail government-dominated procurement systems expect. Fleet operators can consolidate every machine onto a single renewal schedule, which keeps the compliance record clean and removes the risk of individual machines lapsing during long-running contracts.
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 Canberra — Common Questions
Do ACT government contracts require specific inspection records?
Many do. Standard inspection documentation satisfies most requirements; if a contract specifies particular evidence or sign-off formats, share them at booking and we cover them.
Can we align all our Canberra machines to a single annual renewal date?
Yes. Where machines are at different points in their inspection cycle, we schedule catch-up inspections to bring them to a common renewal date going forward.
10-Year Major Inspection — Canberra
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 Canberra machine is approaching or past ten years, this is the next step.
