Major EWP Inspections in Shepparton (5 & 10-Year)
Machines that have spent a decade around Goulburn Valley food processing often carry wear you don't see on a fleet that lived on open construction sites. Wash-down environments, humidity inside plants, and the corrosive cleaning agents used in the region's dairy and cannery operations all work on structure, fasteners and electrical systems over time. The major inspection is where a decade of that gets found, because it strips the machine back to bare metal rather than trusting the surface.
EWP Australia runs major inspections for Shepparton owners — full structural strip-down, NDT of welds, pins and bosses, hydraulic and electrical overhaul assessment, load testing and the engineering documentation that resets the machine's inspection baseline. Major inspections fall due at five or ten years depending on the machine's class, which we confirm first, then the scope and quote are agreed before disassembly so the job can't become open-ended.
10-Year Major Inspections — The Scope
- Full strip-down and inspection of structural and load-bearing components
- NDT (crack testing) of welds, pins, bosses and critical sections
- Hydraulic, electrical and safety-system overhaul assessment
- Load testing on completion, witnessed and documented
- Engineering documentation recording the machine's new inspection baseline
- A clear scope and quote before work starts — no open-ended rebuilds

10-Year Major Inspections in Shepparton — Common Questions
Does all that plant wash-down change what a major actually turns up?
It tends to push corrosion into fasteners, electrical connections and the structure hidden from view. Stripping the machine down and running NDT is precisely what brings that to light, and catching it at the major costs far less than catching it once the machine is back in service.
Is mine a five-year platform or a ten-year one when it comes to the major?
It hinges on the equipment class — some are five-year machines, others ten. Forward the make, model and compliance-plate details and the correct interval is confirmed before anything gets booked in.
