Crane Inspections in Newcastle
Between the port, heavy industry and the valley's mines, the Hunter is Franna country — pick-and-carry cranes are everywhere from Kooragang laydown yards to Singleton workshops, and mine sites audit their inspection status relentlessly. Vehicle loading cranes supplying the region's industry carry the same AS 2550 clock, ticking whether anyone watches it or not.
EWP Australia inspects vehicle loading cranes, pick-and-carry and mobile cranes across Newcastle, Lake Macquarie, Maitland and the Upper Hunter — structural, slew, winch and load-path examination, NDT of critical welds, and load testing documented mine-spec by default. Valley visits are grouped so multiple cranes share one mobilisation.

Crane Inspections in Newcastle — Common Questions
Can you inspect Frannas to Hunter mine-site standard?
Yes — inspection and testing documented to the standard mine sites require is core Hunter work. Give us the site's spec and it's built into the scope.
Do you combine crane and EWP inspections in one Hunter visit?
Wherever the fleet allows, yes — one visit covering the cranes and the access equipment is cheaper and simpler for everyone.
