Major EWP Inspections in Coffs Harbour
A machine that has spent years on the Coffs coast carries damage that stays out of sight — salt air works corrosion into box sections, pin bores and behind fasteners long before anything surfaces, and corrosion is where fatigue cracks take hold. Depending on the equipment class, the major inspection is due at five or ten years, and it is the point where that structure is stripped and examined while there is still metal worth saving.
EWP Australia runs major inspections for Coffs Harbour owners — full structural strip-down, NDT of welds, pins and bosses, hydraulic and electrical overhaul assessment, load testing on completion and the engineering documentation that resets the machine's inspection baseline. The scope and quote are agreed before disassembly, so the work stays defined and never drifts into an open-ended rebuild.
10-Year Major Inspections — The Scope
- Full strip-down and inspection of structural and load-bearing components
- NDT (crack testing) of welds, pins, bosses and critical sections
- Hydraulic, electrical and safety-system overhaul assessment
- Load testing on completion, witnessed and documented
- Engineering documentation recording the machine's new inspection baseline
- A clear scope and quote before work starts — no open-ended rebuilds

10-Year Major Inspections in Coffs Harbour — Common Questions
For a machine that's lived by the sea, what's the major most likely to uncover?
Corrosion tucked away inside the structure, where a walk-around inspection can't reach. Stripping the machine and applying NDT is what brings it out into the open, and catching it at the major is far kinder to the budget than catching it in service.
Is there a single major interval, or does it vary by machine?
It varies. Certain platforms fall due for the major at the five-year mark while others run to ten, depending on how the class is rated and what the builder stipulates. Give us the model and plate details and which milestone yours falls on is settled beforehand.
