EWP Certification in Sydney
Sydney is the most compliance-checked EWP and MEWP market in the country. Scissor lifts running through the logistics sheds of Wetherill Park and Moorebank face daily gate checks on certification currency; boom lifts and knuckle booms on CBD and Metro-corridor construction projects are verified before they unload; and cherry pickers working utility and telecommunications infrastructure across the metro need paperwork that matches the network operator's contractor-management requirements. Insulated EWPs operating near live electrical apparatus carry an additional layer of obligation — dielectric testing stacked on top of the standard annual inspection — and Sydney's electrical contractors are well aware of the difference.
EWP Australia certifies scissor lifts, boom lifts, cherry pickers, insulated EWPs and truck-mounted platforms across metropolitan Sydney, from the industrial estates of Silverwater, Wetherill Park and Alexandria to access-controlled inner-city sites. Every inspection follows AS 2550.10 and the manufacturer's requirements regardless of make or model, and documentation is structured so a site auditor can follow it without phoning us.
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 Sydney — Common Questions
Can you certify machines on access-controlled Sydney sites?
Yes. Inducted, permitted site access is routine in Sydney — tell us the site's requirements and work windows when you book and we plan the inspection around them.
My machine works night shifts in the CBD. Can inspections fit around that?
Usually, yes. Certification doesn't have to cost you a shift — flag the machine's roster when you enquire and we schedule the inspection to suit.
Do you certify insulated EWPs and cherry pickers, or only scissors and booms?
All types. Insulated EWPs, cherry pickers (truck-mounted and trailer-based), knuckle booms, telescopic booms, scissor lifts and spider lifts are all covered. Insulated EWPs also require dielectric testing — tell us your machine type when you enquire and we confirm what the full scope involves.
Our scissor lift fleet works inside a Sydney warehouse on night shift. Is that covered?
Yes — electric scissor lifts for indoor logistics and warehousing are one of the most common Sydney certification jobs. Batch inspections during quieter shifts so the warehouse keeps moving.
10-Year Major Inspection — Sydney
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 Sydney machine is approaching or past ten years, this is the next step.
