Annual EWP Inspections in Newcastle
Newcastle and Hunter Valley operators work under a compliance regime that has little patience for annual inspection records that don't stack up. Mine-site gates check documentation carefully, and the port and heavy-industry precincts around Kooragang have their own formal review processes. Scissor lifts servicing warehouses and logistics yards in Cardiff and Thornton, boom lifts on port and construction projects, cherry pickers working trade and utility access across the Hunter, and knuckle booms mobilising up the coal corridor — an annual inspection that's done to the right standard and documented properly costs the same as one that isn't, but only the first one opens the gate.
EWP Australia carries out annual EWP inspections across Newcastle, Lake Macquarie and Maitland, and up the valley through Cessnock, Singleton and Muswellbrook. Inspections cover scissor lifts, boom lifts, cherry pickers and all other EWP types — structure, hydraulics, electrical systems and all safety functions — with documentation delivered mine-spec by default so the records don't need reworking before a machine mobilises to site.
Annual EWP Inspections — The Scope
- Scheduled annual inspection under AS 2550 for each machine class
- Structural, mechanical, hydraulic and electrical assessment
- Function and safety-system testing for all controls
- Defect rating report with prioritised remediation guidance
- Digital inspection records per machine, formatted for compliance review
- Due-date tracking across the fleet so no machine lapses without advance notice

Annual EWP Inspections in Newcastle — Common Questions
Do annual inspections for Hunter Valley machines need to meet mine-site requirements?
The documentation format for our annual inspections is built for that scrutiny. Tell us the specific site and its requirements at booking so the report covers everything the gate checks.
Can the annual inspection be timed for when the machine cycles back to Newcastle from the valley?
Yes — aligning the inspection with the maintenance turnaround in Newcastle avoids double-handling. Tell us the rotation schedule when you enquire.
10-Year Major Inspection — Newcastle
Every EWP reaches a 10-year major inspection milestone — a full structural strip-down, NDT of welds and pins, load testing and engineering documentation that resets the machine's compliance baseline. If your Newcastle machine is approaching or past ten years, this is the next step.
