Major EWP Inspections in Mildura (5 & 10-Year)
A decade of Sunraysia work is hard on structure in ways the desert climate makes invisible. Relentless summer heat degrades hydraulics and seals, fine irrigation-country dust finds its way into slewing components, and the long transport distances that come with servicing a spread-out horticultural region add cycles that a machine's hour meter alone never captures. The major inspection exists to open the machine up and find that accumulated wear before it becomes a failure.
EWP Australia delivers major inspections for Mildura owners — full structural strip-down, NDT of critical welds and pins, hydraulic and electrical assessment, load testing and the engineering documentation that gives the machine its next inspection baseline. Whether a machine falls due at five or ten years depends on its equipment class, and we confirm that first, then agree a firm scope and quote before any disassembly begins.
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 Mildura — Common Questions
Will my platform hit the major mark at the five-year point or the ten-year one?
That's dictated by the equipment class — for some machines it lands at five years, for others at ten. Send through the make, model and plate details and the right interval is pinned down before a date is set.
Out here, does it make more sense to major an ageing machine or just buy another?
The condition is assessed before any advice is given. A machine with sound structure is frequently the stronger candidate to keep, while one carrying heavy corrosion or fatigue may not be — and you'll be told plainly which way yours leans before committing.
