Crane Inspections in Port Macquarie
The Mid North Coast's steady construction market rides on crane trucks — vehicle loading cranes delivering frames, trusses and materials across Port Macquarie and the Hastings every working day, with Frannas and mobile cranes on the bigger civil and residential jobs. Many belong to trades and transport businesses rather than crane companies, and coastal work adds corrosion to booms, hooks and wire rope that inland service never sees.
EWP Australia inspects vehicle loading cranes, pick-and-carry and mobile cranes across Port Macquarie and the Hastings region 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 required, and load testing with certified weights, documented for site compliance reviews. Coastal cranes get particular attention on corrosion.

Crane Inspections in Port Macquarie — Common Questions
I've got one loader crane on my builder's truck — what am I obliged to do with it?
Keep it on a periodic AS 2550 inspection with a record you can produce when a builder or site asks. The crane is checked over, documented properly, and you're advised when its next inspection comes around.
With the sea air here, does the crane inspection look at anything in particular?
The core scope holds, but on coastal cranes the corrosion-prone points get a closer look — the boom, the hook, the wire rope and the rest of the load path, since ocean air chews through those the fastest.
