Major EWP Inspections in Tamworth
A machine that has worked New England for years carries stresses that don't show on the surface — frost-and-heat cycling on the tablelands, dusty agricultural and processing environments, and constant duty with little downtime. Depending on the equipment class, the major inspection falls due at five or ten years, and it is the point where the structure is stripped so fatigue and hidden corrosion in box sections, pins and welds can be found before they cause a failure.
EWP Australia delivers major inspections for Tamworth owners — full structural strip-down, NDT of critical welds, pins and bosses, hydraulic and electrical overhaul assessment, load testing on completion and engineering documentation that resets the machine's inspection baseline. The scope and quote are agreed before disassembly, so the work stays defined and downtime can be planned.

10-Year Major Inspections in Tamworth — Common Questions
We've been told the major timing isn't fixed — how do we find out ours?
That's right, it isn't universal. Whether a platform majors at five years or ten comes down to how its class is rated and what the maker specifies. Read us the compliance plate details over the phone and we'll pin down the right timing before anything's locked in.
What's the best way to handle being a machine short while the major runs?
The scope and an expected window are settled before disassembly starts, giving you time to organise a stand-in. Reserving the booking before the due date passes means you choose when the machine steps out of service.
