10-Year Major Inspections in Hobart
The 10-year major is the hardest piece of EWP compliance to source in Tasmania, regardless of machine type — scissor lifts working heritage-precinct fitouts and commercial facilities, knuckle boom lifts on the growing residential and infrastructure construction market, cherry pickers used by Hobart's trade and utility contractors, and insulated EWPs operating near TasNetworks assets all carry the same 10-year obligation. The strip-down facilities, NDT capability and load-testing equipment the inspection requires aren't always available locally, so machines have historically limped past their window or left the state at the owner's expense and risk. Neither is a plan.
EWP Australia coordinates 10-year major inspections for Hobart and Tasmanian owners as a managed job — across scissor lifts, boom lifts, cherry pickers and insulated EWPs: assessment and scoping first, then the strip-down, NDT, load testing and documentation — with any Bass Strait logistics organised as part of the work rather than left to you. One quote, one point of contact, one machine back with its baseline reset.
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 Hobart — Common Questions
Does my machine have to leave Tasmania for its major?
Not necessarily — it depends on the machine and the scope the assessment finds. Where mainland facilities are genuinely needed, we coordinate the logistics as part of the job.
My machine is already past ten years. Can it keep working while I plan the major?
That's a condition question, not a calendar one — get it assessed now. The assessment tells you what state the machine is really in and how urgent the major is.
