10-Year Major Inspections in Mackay
For Mackay machines, the 10-year major isn't just a compliance milestone — it's a commercial one. Bowen Basin operations increasingly refuse machines approaching or past their major window regardless of type: scissor lifts that service mine workshops, boom lifts heading to shutdown campaigns, and every other platform mobilising to coal operations needs majors done early and documented to a standard that satisfies the toughest contractor-management review in the industry. Coal-region duty is genuinely hard on structure, and the strip-down tends to prove it.
EWP Australia delivers 10-year major inspections for Mackay and Bowen Basin service fleets across scissor lifts, boom lifts and other access equipment: full structural strip-down, NDT of welds, pins and bosses, hydraulic and electrical assessment, witnessed load testing and engineering documentation that resets the machine's baseline — packaged so mine-site compliance systems accept it without argument.
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 Mackay — Common Questions
Will a completed major satisfy mine-site machine-age policies?
In most cases yes — a properly documented major resets the machine's inspection baseline. Tell us which sites the machine works and we make sure the documentation covers their specific requirements.
Can majors be staged across our fleet so machines stay available for the Basin?
Yes — fleets with several machines approaching the window can be sequenced so capacity is never all offline at once and each machine is back before its next campaign.
