Major EWP Inspections in Orange

A machine that has spent years on the Central West tablelands carries stresses a visual check can't confirm — cold-weather duty cycles, dusty orchard and vineyard work, and the constant vibration of hard ground. Depending on the equipment class, the major inspection falls due at five or ten years, and it exists precisely to open up the box sections, pin bores and weld zones where fatigue and hidden corrosion sit out of sight until the structure is stripped.

EWP Australia runs major inspections for Orange owners — full structural strip-down, NDT of welds, pins and bosses, hydraulic and electrical overhaul assessment, load testing on completion and the engineering documentation that resets the machine's inspection baseline. The scope is agreed and quoted before anything is disassembled, so the job stays defined and never drifts into an open-ended rebuild.

FAQs

10-Year Major Inspections in Orange — Common Questions

Two of our platforms are the same age — will they hit their major at the same point?

Not necessarily. The due point is tied to each machine's equipment class and its manufacturer's schedule, so one might be a five-year major and the other a ten-year one. Pass us both compliance plates and each is checked individually.

Our vineyard work is seasonal — when's the smart time to send a machine in for its major?

In the off-peak stretch, so the platform is stripped, re-baselined and back on the tools before the next picking or pruning run. Reserve the slot ahead of the due date and you decide when it comes off work.
