Major EWP Inspections in Port Macquarie
Years of coastal service leave a Port Macquarie machine with damage that hides where it can't be seen — salt air drives corrosion deep into box sections, pin bores and behind fasteners long before anything shows on the surface, and corrosion is where fatigue cracks begin. Depending on the equipment class, the major inspection is due at five or ten years, and it exists precisely to open those places up while there is still structure left to save.
EWP Australia delivers major inspections for Port Macquarie owners — full structural strip-down, NDT of critical welds, pins and bosses, hydraulic and electrical overhaul assessment, load testing on completion and engineering documentation that resets the machine's inspection baseline. The scope and quote are agreed before disassembly, so the job stays defined and downtime can be planned.

10-Year Major Inspections in Port Macquarie — Common Questions
On the coast, what tends to turn up once the machine is stripped for its major?
Corrosion is the usual one — the sort that hides in structure where the eye can't reach it. Opening the machine up and running NDT is precisely how that's brought to light, and dealing with it at the major beats discovering it mid-job.
How can we tell whether ours is a five-year or a ten-year major?
The interval isn't uniform; it tracks the machine's class alongside what the builder lays down. Photograph or read out the compliance plate and we'll tell you which milestone yours lands on ahead of any booking.
