NDT & Load Testing in Hervey Bay
On the Fraser Coast, corrosion is the thing that starts cracks. Machines working within reach of the bay carry salt-air corrosion into weld toes, pin bores and box sections years earlier than an inland machine would, and those corrosion pits become the stress concentrators where fatigue cracks begin. Crack testing is how you find that damage while it's still cheap to deal with, rather than after a crack has propagated through a load-bearing section.
EWP Australia provides magnetic particle, dye penetrant and eddy current testing plus certified load testing for EWPs and cranes across Hervey Bay and the Fraser Coast. Testing runs standalone after impact, overload or a corrosion finding, or as part of annual and major inspections — with reports that document method, location and result for any compliance review.
NDT & Load Testing — The Scope
- Magnetic particle, dye penetrant and eddy current crack testing
- NDT of booms, welds, pins, bosses, chassis and outrigger structures
- Load testing to rated capacity with certified weights
- Testing as part of annual, 5-year and 10-year major inspections
- Reports that identify exactly what was tested, where and to what method
- Repair recommendations when indications are found — not just a fail stamp

NDT & Load Testing in Hervey Bay — Common Questions
It all looks sound to me — so why bother crack testing on the Fraser Coast?
Because the corrosion this coast produces kicks cracks off underneath the paint where you can't see them. NDT picks up those hidden indications, and once a crack is plain to the eye you're already into a repair rather than heading one off.
Can you run the load test at our Fraser Coast depot?
Usually so — the rated weights are brought to the machine on site. Let us know the depot location and the access when you arrange it and the test gets set up around that.
