5-Year Major EWP Inspections in Geelong
Geelong's port and manufacturing economy keeps access equipment working steadily, and the machines in the industrial areas around Norlane, North Shore and the western suburbs arrive at their mid-life milestone as quietly as they do everywhere else. Whether the applicable interval is 5 or 10 years depends on the equipment class, not just the calendar — and getting that confirmation before any teardown work starts is the first step of a properly managed major inspection.
EWP Australia delivers 5-year major inspections across Geelong and the surrounding region — class confirmation, teardown assessment of structural and load-bearing components, NDT of welds and pins, and documentation that resets the machine's inspection baseline. Geelong machines receive the same scope and documentation standard as any metropolitan fleet, without the Melbourne premium or a condensed regional version.
5-Year Major Inspections — The Scope
- Class confirmation — we verify whether a 5 or 10-year major applies to each machine
- Teardown-level assessment of structural and load-bearing components
- NDT (crack testing) of welds, pins, slew rings and structural connections
- Hydraulic and electrical overhaul assessment at the disassembly level
- Functional and load testing on completion
- Engineering documentation establishing the machine's new inspection baseline

5-Year Major Inspections in Geelong — Common Questions
Do Geelong machines need to go to Melbourne for a 5-year major inspection?
No — major inspections are carried out locally in the Geelong area. Travel to Melbourne isn't required for teardown-level work.
Which Geelong machines need a 5-year major as opposed to a 10-year?
Equipment class determines the interval, not the machine's apparent condition. We confirm which milestone applies to each machine before any work is scoped or started.
