5-Year Major EWP Inspections in Shepparton
Shepparton's food-processing and agricultural sector operates equipment in a range of environments — from temperature-controlled cool stores to open orchard and field work — and a 5-year major inspection on a machine from that context tells a different structural story than one from a construction site. The teardown is the only way to properly assess what five years of indoor-outdoor cycling, cool-store temperature variation and agricultural-sector use has done to the load-bearing and structural components that an annual inspection can't examine without disassembly.
EWP Australia carries out 5-year major inspections across Shepparton and the Goulburn Valley — confirming the applicable class milestone first (5 or 10 years depending on equipment class), then delivering the teardown-level structural assessment, NDT of critical sections, and documentation that establishes a new inspection baseline appropriate to the machine's actual working history and condition.
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 Shepparton — Common Questions
Does a cool-store or packing-shed EWP need a 5-year major inspection the same as an outdoor machine?
The obligation follows the equipment class, not the working environment. Indoor machines reach the same milestone at the same time — the teardown may find different things, but the inspection is required.
Can the 5-year major be planned around the Goulburn Valley's harvest and processing season?
Yes — the off-season is the natural window. Tell us the machine's operational calendar and we plan the teardown for when it causes least disruption.
