5-Year Major EWP Inspections in Hervey Bay
Hervey Bay's growing coastal economy has a fleet that's mostly small-to-medium in scale, which means the mid-life major inspection milestone often arrives for owner-operators who haven't encountered it before. Whether the machine needs a 5 or 10-year major inspection depends on the equipment class — and understanding which it is, and what the teardown assessment involves, is the starting point for planning around the downtime it requires.
EWP Australia delivers 5-year major inspections across Hervey Bay and the Fraser Coast, starting with a clear explanation of which milestone applies to each machine's class and what the inspection involves. Teardown assessment of structural and load-bearing components, NDT of critical sections, and documentation that establishes a new inspection baseline are delivered in a format the machine's owner can understand and use for compliance purposes.
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 Hervey Bay — Common Questions
What does a 5-year major inspection actually involve for a Hervey Bay machine?
The machine is stripped to the level the standard requires, structural and safety-critical components are assessed, NDT is carried out on welds and pins, and the machine is reassembled and tested. We explain what we find and what it means before any repair work is quoted.
Does a Hervey Bay trade operator need a 5-year major inspection or is that just for commercial fleets?
The major inspection obligation applies based on equipment class, not fleet size. A sole trader with one machine has the same obligation as a fleet operator — we help plan around the downtime for operators of any scale.
