EWP Mechanical Repairs in Melbourne

Melbourne's access equipment works through a climate that is hard on mechanical joints. Cold, wet winters drive moisture into pivot bores and pin interfaces, which accelerates corrosion under the bearing surfaces and causes pins to seize rather than wear evenly. The hot, dry summer spells that follow thin lubrication in slew rings and drive gearboxes, and the level-crossing removal works, apartment construction and the Fishermans Bend urban renewal running simultaneously keep machines cycling without long yard time for preventative attention. The result is that structural and mechanical wear tends to compound — a pin that's running a little rough is still running, until it isn't.

EWP Australia carries out structural and mechanical repairs across greater Melbourne, from weld crack assessment and rectification to slew ring and turntable work, pin and bush measurement and replacement, and drive motor and gearbox diagnosis and overhaul. Where an inspection has produced a defect list that includes structural items, we work through each one, document the close-out, and carry out post-repair load testing so the machine can be re-presented for certification without repeating the full scope.
