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.

FAQs

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.
