EWP Certification on the Sunshine Coast
The Sunshine Coast is building faster than almost anywhere in Queensland — the Maroochydore city-centre precinct, hospital and health expansion around Birtinya, and residential construction running the length of the coastal strip. Boom lifts and scissor lifts have flooded into the region quickly, and principal contractors on the bigger jobs are checking certification with big-city rigour even where the machine came from a small local fleet. Cherry pickers serving the region's trade and utility contractors work alongside the construction equipment, subject to the same AS 2550.10 annual inspection obligation.
EWP Australia certifies scissor lifts, boom lifts, cherry pickers, trailer lifts and truck-mounted platforms across the Sunshine Coast, from Caloundra and Kawana through Maroochydore to Noosa and the hinterland towns. Every inspection is carried out to AS 2550.10 and the manufacturer's schedule, with attention to the corrosion and UV degradation that coastal Queensland works into machines year-round.
EWP Certification — The Scope
- Annual (periodic) inspection to AS 2550.10 and the manufacturer's requirements
- Structural, hydraulic, electrical and safety-system checks
- Function and operational testing of all controls, including emergency lowering
- Logbook and compliance-plate verification
- Audit-ready inspection report and certification documentation
- Defect list with clear priorities if the machine doesn't pass first time

EWP Certification in Sunshine Coast — Common Questions
We're a small hire yard — can you certify the whole fleet in one visit?
Usually, yes. Batching a yard's machines into one scheduled visit keeps cost per machine down and gets the whole fleet onto the same renewal cycle.
Do you cover the hinterland as well as the coastal strip?
Yes — Nambour, Maleny, Beerwah and the surrounding towns are covered along with the coast. Tell us where the machine lives and we plan around it.
10-Year Major Inspection — Sunshine Coast
Every EWP reaches a 10-year major inspection milestone — a full structural strip-down, NDT of welds and pins, load testing and engineering documentation that resets the machine's compliance baseline. If your Sunshine Coast machine is approaching or past ten years, this is the next step.
