5-Year Major EWP Inspections on the Sunshine Coast

The Sunshine Coast's rapid growth has brought a younger fleet into the region, but those machines are ageing — and some are reaching a mid-life major inspection point without operators fully aware that the equipment class they own requires a teardown assessment at 5 years rather than waiting for the 10-year milestone. Queensland heat and humidity mean that five years of Sunshine Coast coastal work puts real structural load on machines that an annual inspection keeps current but a mid-life assessment properly measures.

EWP Australia delivers 5-year major inspections on the Sunshine Coast, confirming the applicable milestone — 5 or 10 years depending on the equipment class — before any teardown work begins. The inspection covers structural and load-bearing components at the teardown level, NDT of critical welds and pins, and documentation that establishes a new inspection baseline formatted for the compliance reviews Sunshine Coast's principal contractors run.
