EWP Mechanical Repairs in Hobart

Hobart's damp maritime climate is persistently hard on the structural side of access equipment. Moisture reaches into joint surfaces, fastener threads and the interface between pins and bores, where it drives corrosion that slowly degrades the fit — pins that were a precise sliding fit become loose; fastener threads that were clean become tight or seized; weld toes in structural sections that were intact begin to undermine. The island's fleet is small and support is concentrated in the south, so a structural fault that takes a machine out of action is felt immediately by operators who don't have a deep pool of alternatives.

For the booms, scissors and truck-mounted platforms working greater Hobart, EWP Australia assesses and repairs structural and mechanical faults — weld cracks identified and repaired to the applicable standard, corroded and worn pins removed and replaced with correctly specified replacements, slew rings inspected and adjusted or replaced as condition warrants, and drive systems that have corroded or worn diagnosed and overhauled. Every structural repair is followed by post-repair load testing and a documented record of what was done.
