NDT & Load Testing in Launceston
Cracks in northern Tasmanian machines rarely give warning. The Tamar Valley's cool, damp conditions keep moisture working on structure, corrosion sets up stress concentrators, and fatigue grows from welds, pins and bosses well before anything is visible on the surface. Crack testing is how a Launceston owner finds those indications while they're still a planned repair rather than a breakdown on site.
EWP Australia provides magnetic particle, dye penetrant and eddy current testing plus certified load testing for EWPs and cranes across Launceston and the Tamar Valley. Testing runs standalone after impact, overload or a suspect weld, or as part of annual, five-year and ten-year inspections — with reports that document exactly what was tested, where, to what method and with what result.
NDT & Load Testing — The Scope
- Magnetic particle, dye penetrant and eddy current crack testing
- NDT of booms, welds, pins, bosses, chassis and outrigger structures
- Load testing to rated capacity with certified weights
- Testing as part of annual, 5-year and 10-year major inspections
- Reports that identify exactly what was tested, where and to what method
- Repair recommendations when indications are found — not just a fail stamp

NDT & Load Testing in Launceston — Common Questions
One of the boom welds has me second-guessing it — is a full inspection needed just to check the one spot?
No — the testing can be confined to the single area you're unsure about. Should a real indication turn up, you'll be given a clear repair path rather than just a fail stamp.
Is it possible to run the load test at our yard instead of carting the machine somewhere?
Usually it is, because the certified weights are brought out to the machine. Provide the location and the access when booking and the test is arranged around that.
