10-Year Major Inspections in Darwin

Ten years in the Top End is not ten years anywhere else, regardless of machine type. Scissor lifts working Darwin's Winnellie and Berrimah industrial precincts, boom lifts on construction and defence projects, cherry pickers and insulated EWPs operating near NT Power Networks electrical infrastructure — all of them have spent a decade in wet-season humidity and coastal salt that works corrosion into boom sections, pivot pins and chassis at a rate southern machines never experience. A Darwin machine's 10-year major routinely finds structural work that the same model in Adelaide wouldn't need, and budgeting for the major means budgeting for what the tropics have done.

EWP Australia coordinates 10-year major inspections for Darwin and Territory owners — scissor lifts, boom lifts, cherry pickers and insulated EWPs: full strip-down with corrosion mapped honestly, NDT of critical structure, hydraulic and electrical assessment, load testing and complete documentation. Timing is planned around the dry-season work peak so the machine is back earning when the Territory is busiest.

FAQs

10-Year Major Inspections in Darwin — Common Questions

When should a Darwin machine go in for its major?

The wet season is the natural window — work slows and the machine's downtime costs least. Book before the build-up so the slot is secured.

Will the major find more work on a Top End machine than expected?

It can — tropical corrosion hides in structure. That's exactly why we assess and quote from a scoped strip-down rather than a guess, so you decide with real information.
