EWP Mechanical Repairs in Rockhampton

Rockhampton's access equipment serves Central Queensland's beef and resources economy — cattle saleyards, the Fitzroy River agricultural hinterland, and the resources supply chain running west to the Bowen Basin — across a climate that is hot, humid and pre-wet in the build-up season. Structural and mechanical wear is accelerated by the combination of tropical moisture that works into joint surfaces and weld toes at the same time that heat drives lubricant from slew rings and drive gearboxes. Machines heading west to the Bowen Basin face sustained remote duty where a structural fault is very difficult to deal with on-site.

EWP Australia carries out structural and mechanical repairs throughout Rockhampton and Central Queensland — weld conditions assessed and repaired to the applicable standard, pin and bush sets replaced when tropical moisture or Bowen Basin dust has corroded or abraded the fit, slew rings inspected and adjusted or renewed, and drive systems stripped and overhauled where tropical operating conditions have driven wear beyond serviceability. Post-repair load testing and documentation are standard.
