Crane Inspections in Kalgoorlie
Franna-type pick-and-carry cranes are everywhere in the Goldfields — shifting plant and materials through mining yards and supply operations around Kalgoorlie — alongside vehicle loading cranes on the trucks feeding sites and mobile cranes on the bigger lifts. Cranes bound for hard-rock mine sites face entry systems that check inspection records line by line, and their paperwork gets read as closely as any part of the machine.
EWP Australia inspects vehicle loading cranes, pick-and-carry and mobile cranes across Kalgoorlie and the Goldfields to AS 2550 and the relevant part for each crane type — structural, slew, winch, hook and load-path examination, NDT of critical welds and pins where required, and load testing with certified weights. Reports are structured to satisfy the compliance reviews Goldfields mine sites apply.

Crane Inspections in Kalgoorlie — Common Questions
A mine site wants to see the crane's inspection records before it mobilises — what exactly do they expect?
Proof of what was examined and tested, the method used and the outcome of each. The reports are put together in that form — name the site and the package is made to cover its requirements.
The Franna works out of a mining yard rather than on site — does it still need a periodic inspection?
Yes — a yard crane carries the same AS 2550 duty as one on site, and Goldfields operators audit it just as thoroughly. The inspection is done where the crane works.
