Crane Inspections in Gladstone
Gladstone is crane country by necessity — heavy industry, port operations and plant maintenance keep vehicle loading cranes, Frannas and mobile cranes working constantly, and their inspection records get read closely at every industrial gate. Cranes working refinery, smelter and harbour environments cop hard loads and salt air at the same time, and shutdown periods concentrate crane work into tight windows where a lapsed inspection is a genuine problem.
EWP Australia inspects vehicle loading cranes, pick-and-carry and mobile cranes across Gladstone to AS 2550 and the relevant part for each crane type — structural, slew, winch, hook and load-path examination, NDT of critical welds and pins where required, and certified load testing, all documented for the heavy-industry compliance reviews the region runs.

Crane Inspections in Gladstone — Common Questions
Can we get the cranes examined to fit around a plant shutdown?
Give us the shutdown dates and the crane examinations are slotted in so the records are valid heading into the window and stay valid through it — which is exactly when the cranes are needed most.
With the crane working near the harbour, what gets extra scrutiny?
The examination follows the same standard, but on a harbourside crane we go over the wire rope, hooks, sheaves, pins and boom steel more closely, since the salt in the air off the port degrades every one of those quicker than an inland crane would see.
