Major EWP Inspections in Dubbo
Orana machines rack up hours and kilometres that a visual inspection can't fully account for — long road travel between jobs, dusty rural and saleyard environments, and constant work on hard, uneven ground. Depending on the equipment class, the major inspection is due at five or ten years, and it is the point where the structure is opened up so the fatigue and hidden corrosion that western-plains service works into box sections and pins can actually be found.
EWP Australia delivers major inspections for Dubbo owners — full structural strip-down, NDT of critical welds, pins and bosses, hydraulic and electrical overhaul assessment, load testing on completion and engineering documentation that gives the machine its next inspection baseline. The scope and quote are agreed before disassembly, so the job stays defined and downtime can be planned.

10-Year Major Inspections in Dubbo — Common Questions
The dealer mentioned a major but wasn't sure of the timing — how do we pin down whether ours is five or ten years?
The interval is dictated by the equipment class and the maker's requirements rather than a single rule, so it varies from platform to platform. Send through the make, model and serial and the correct due point is confirmed before you commit.
This machine is on the road most weeks — how do we cope while it's tied up in a major?
The scope and an expected turnaround are set out before the strip-down begins, so you can line up a substitute or shuffle jobs. Booking in ahead of the due date lets you pick the quietest window for the downtime.
