10-Year Major Inspections in Sydney

A large share of Sydney's EWP fleet was bought in the construction booms of the 2010s, which means a wave of machines is hitting its 10-year major inspection window right now — scissor lifts that have spent a decade in Wetherill Park and Moorebank logistics sheds, boom lifts and knuckle booms that have rotated through CBD and metro construction projects, cherry pickers working utility corridors across the metro, and insulated EWPs used by Sydney's electrical contractors near live apparatus. Every one of these machine types carries the same 10-year major obligation, and owners face the same genuine decision: invest in the major, or trade the machine.

EWP Australia delivers 10-year major inspections for Sydney owners across all makes and types: full structural strip-down, NDT of welds and pins, hydraulic and electrical assessment, load testing and the engineering documentation that resets the machine's inspection baseline. We tell you what the machine needs — and when a major doesn't make economic sense for a scissor lift or a boom, we say that too.

FAQs

10-Year Major Inspections in Sydney — Common Questions

How long is a Sydney machine off the road for a major inspection?

It depends entirely on condition — what the strip-down and NDT find drives the schedule. We scope and quote up front so you know the expected window before committing.

Should I do the major or sell the machine?

We'll give you a straight answer based on the machine's condition and value. Some machines justify the investment; some don't, and we'll tell you which yours is.
