Major EWP Inspections in Launceston (5 & 10-Year)
Ten years of northern Tasmanian work accumulates wear a walk-around can't confirm. Machines around Launceston move between the city's construction sites, the industry along the Tamar corridor and the region's agricultural work, and the valley's cool, damp conditions keep moisture working on structure and electrical systems the whole time. The major inspection is where a decade of that is finally opened up and assessed against bare metal rather than surface appearance.
EWP Australia runs major inspections for Launceston owners — full structural strip-down, NDT of welds, pins and bosses, hydraulic and electrical overhaul assessment, load testing and the engineering documentation that resets the machine's inspection baseline. Major inspections fall due at five or ten years depending on the machine's class, which we confirm first, then the scope and quote are agreed before disassembly so the job can't become open-ended.
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 Launceston — Common Questions
Is my platform due for its major at the five-year point or not until ten?
The equipment class is what decides — certain machines come due at five years, others at ten. Send over the details stamped on the compliance plate, along with the make and model, and the interval that applies is confirmed before a booking is made.
How should I organise things around having the machine out of action for the strip-down?
The scope and an expected timeframe are settled up front so cover can be arranged in advance. Booking ahead of the due date lets you choose when the machine drops out rather than being caught out by it.
