10-Year Major Inspections in Newcastle
Hunter machines do industrial time — scissor lifts and boom lifts on port and heavy plant maintenance, cherry pickers serving the region's utility contractors, and every machine type working mine-site duty that puts more fatigue into a decade than most metro fleets see in two. Mine operators know it, which is why many Hunter sites track major-inspection status as closely as annual certification and stand machines down when the window closes.
EWP Australia delivers 10-year major inspections for Newcastle and Hunter owners across scissor lifts, boom lifts and cherry pickers: full strip-down, NDT of booms, welds, pins and chassis, hydraulic and electrical assessment, witnessed load testing and mine-spec engineering documentation. Where machines serve shutdown schedules, the major is timed into the same window so downtime is paid once.
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 Newcastle — Common Questions
Can the major be scheduled around a Hunter shutdown window?
Yes — that's the smart way to do it. Tell us the shutdown dates early and we scope the major so the machine is stripped, tested and back for the restart.
Do coal-site machines need more from a major than the standard requires?
Sites can and do specify additional requirements. Give us the site's spec and it goes into the scope — the goal is a machine the site accepts first time.
