5-Year Major EWP Inspections in Melbourne

Melbourne's large fleet of logistics and construction EWPs includes a significant number of machines purchased during the city's infrastructure boom that are now approaching the mid-life point. Whether those machines need a 5 or 10-year major inspection depends on the equipment class — and that answer matters to any fleet operator planning capital expenditure, because a machine that passes a properly executed major inspection has a documented compliance baseline that extends its useful life and supports resale value.

EWP Australia delivers 5-year major inspections for Melbourne fleet operators — class confirmation first, then teardown assessment of structural and safety-critical components, NDT of welds and pins, and documentation that establishes a new compliance baseline. Scheduling accounts for the downtime that teardown-level work requires, with scope and expected duration agreed before the machine goes in.

FAQs

5-Year Major Inspections in Melbourne — Common Questions

Which Melbourne fleet machines typically reach the 5-year major inspection threshold?

It depends on the equipment class, not just the age. We confirm the applicable interval for each machine before work begins — some classes reach a major milestone at five years, others at ten, depending on class and duty.

Can 5-year major inspections for a Melbourne fleet be batched?

Machines can be sequenced through the major inspection, though teardown work generally means one machine at a time. We plan the schedule to limit the impact on fleet availability.
