5-Year Major EWP Inspections in Port Macquarie
Port Macquarie's Mid North Coast market includes machines that arrived from other regions and fleets, not all of them with complete inspection histories. When a machine whose mid-life point is approaching has a patchy compliance record, the 5-year major inspection — where the class requires it rather than a 10-year interval — is the point at which the structural record gets properly established, not just continued from where the annual check left off.
EWP Australia carries out 5-year major inspections across Port Macquarie and the Mid North Coast, beginning with class confirmation to identify the applicable milestone. Where a machine's history is incomplete, the teardown-level assessment establishes a documented structural baseline that the machine's compliance record can build from — particularly important for machines that have changed hands without a full inspection trail.
5-Year Major Inspections — The Scope
- Class confirmation — we verify whether a 5 or 10-year major applies to each machine
- Teardown-level assessment of structural and load-bearing components
- NDT (crack testing) of welds, pins, slew rings and structural connections
- Hydraulic and electrical overhaul assessment at the disassembly level
- Functional and load testing on completion
- Engineering documentation establishing the machine's new inspection baseline

5-Year Major Inspections in Port Macquarie — Common Questions
What if a Port Macquarie machine's inspection history is incomplete before the 5-year major?
The teardown assessment establishes the machine's current structural condition regardless of history. We document what we find and the machine's compliance baseline is established from the major inspection forward.
Can the 5-year major be done locally on the Mid North Coast?
Workshop-based teardown work typically requires the machine to come to a suitable facility. We arrange the logistics around the machine's location and the scope required.
