5-Year Major EWP Inspections in Launceston
Launceston's manufacturing and construction fleet for northern Tasmania arrives at mid-life major inspection milestones under the same obligations as any mainland fleet. Whether the applicable interval is 5 or 10 years depends on equipment class — and for machines that have worked northern Tasmania's manufacturing and construction environments for five or six years, the teardown assessment at the class-required milestone is the only way to properly establish what that service life has done to structural and load-bearing components.
EWP Australia carries out 5-year major inspections across Launceston and northern Tasmania — confirming the applicable class milestone before any teardown is planned, then delivering structural assessment, NDT of critical welds and sections, and documentation that establishes a new inspection baseline for the machine's compliance record. Northern Tasmania machines receive the same scope and documentation standard 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 Launceston — Common Questions
Does a Launceston machine need to go to the mainland for a 5-year major inspection?
No — major inspections are carried out in Tasmania. The scope is identical to what a mainland equivalent receives.
How should Launceston-based operators plan for the downtime a 5-year major inspection requires?
The teardown scope and expected duration are agreed before work begins so the downtime window can be planned around project and operational commitments. Booking ahead of the milestone is essential — teardown inspections require more lead time than annual checks.
