5-Year Major EWP Inspections in Mildura
Mildura's horticultural fleet tends to have well-understood working patterns — machines that run hard during harvest and orchard cycles, then sit between seasons. But the mid-life major applies to the calendar, not to the hours worked, and a machine that's reached the class-required milestone while in seasonal storage still needs the teardown assessment. The off-season is in fact the ideal time to complete it, which is also when the machine is most accessible.
EWP Australia delivers 5-year major inspections across Mildura and the Murray region — confirming the applicable class milestone (5 or 10 years depending on equipment class) before any teardown work begins. The inspection covers structural and load-bearing components at the level the milestone requires, NDT of critical welds and sections, and documentation that resets the machine's inspection baseline.
5-Year Major Inspections — The Scope
- Class confirmation — we verify whether a 5 or 10-year major applies to each machine
- Teardown-level assessment of structural and load-bearing components
- NDT (crack testing) of welds, pins, slew rings and structural connections
- Hydraulic and electrical overhaul assessment at the disassembly level
- Functional and load testing on completion
- Engineering documentation establishing the machine's new inspection baseline

5-Year Major Inspections in Mildura — Common Questions
Does a Mildura machine in seasonal storage still need its 5-year major inspection?
Yes — the obligation is time-based, not hours-based. The off-season is a practical time to complete the inspection, since the machine is accessible and not under operational pressure.
Which Mildura machines need a 5-year major versus a 10-year inspection?
Equipment class determines the applicable interval. We confirm which milestone applies to each machine before any teardown is planned.
