5-Year Major EWP Inspections in Hobart
For a Tasmanian operator with machines approaching a mid-life inspection milestone, the logistics of getting a major inspection done shouldn't require sending the machine to the mainland. Hobart's fleet runs under the same major-inspection obligations as every other state, and the class-specific interval — whether that's 5 or 10 years depending on the machine's equipment class — applies from the date the obligation falls due, not from when it's convenient to organise.
EWP Australia carries out 5-year major inspections across Hobart and southern Tasmania, confirming the applicable interval for each equipment class before work starts. The inspection includes teardown assessment of structural and load-bearing components, NDT of welds and critical sections, and documentation that establishes a new inspection baseline — the same scope as any mainland equivalent.
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 Hobart — Common Questions
Do Hobart machines need to go to the mainland for a major inspection?
No — major inspections are carried out in southern Tasmania. The scope is identical to what a mainland operator receives.
How far in advance should a Hobart major inspection be booked?
As soon as the milestone is approaching — major inspections require more lead time than annual checks because of the teardown scope. Booking ahead allows downtime to be planned and the machine positioned appropriately.
