Crane Inspections in Orange
Cranes earn their keep across the Central West — vehicle loading cranes on the trucks that supply Orange's construction and rural sectors, pick-and-carry cranes shifting plant and fabrications around yards, and mobile cranes serving mine and infrastructure maintenance south of town. Many of these belong to transport and trade businesses rather than crane companies, which is exactly where periodic inspection records quietly slip until a principal contractor asks to see them.
EWP Australia inspects vehicle loading cranes, pick-and-carry and mobile cranes across Orange and the Central West to AS 2550 and the relevant part for each crane type — structural, slew, winch, hook and load-path examination, NDT of critical welds and pins where the standard or condition requires it, and load testing with certified weights, all documented for site compliance reviews.

Crane Inspections in Orange — Common Questions
We've fitted a loader crane to our farm truck — do we have inspection obligations for it?
You do. A vehicle loading crane falls under AS 2550 whether it's on a farm truck or a construction rig, so it needs periodic inspection and a record trail. We examine it and let you know when it's next due.
Our yard has both cranes and elevating platforms due — can they be handled in the one visit?
They can. Where a business runs a mix, the trip is arranged so the cranes and the platforms are worked through together and settle onto a single, easy-to-track renewal cycle. Tell us the full list when you get in touch.
