Major EWP Inspections in Gladstone
Years of Gladstone industrial work leave marks a visual inspection can't reach. Machines cycling through refinery, smelter and port environments carry fatigue from constant heavy use, and harbour salt air works corrosion into box sections and behind pins where nothing shows until the structure is opened up. The major inspection — due at 5 years or 10 years depending on the equipment class — exists precisely to open those places up and verify what's left.
EWP Australia runs major inspections for Gladstone 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 is agreed and quoted before disassembly, so the job can't quietly become 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 Gladstone — Common Questions
On Gladstone machines, does the major mostly turn up corrosion?
Corrosion tops the list of findings in this town. The whole point of stripping the machine and running NDT is to reach corrosion buried out of sight, and dealing with it on the bench during the major beats discovering it once the machine has failed on a job.
What decides whether ours is a 5-year or a 10-year major?
The equipment class sets it — one category of machine majors at 5 years and another at 10. Forward the make, model and type and we'll tell you which bracket your platform sits in before anything's locked in.
