Major EWP Inspections in Toowoomba
Darling Downs owners tend to keep machines a long time — regional operators run equipment they know rather than churning fleet — which makes the major inspection a bigger decision in Toowoomba than in a capital city. Depending on the equipment class, that major falls due at either the 5-year or the 10-year mark, and years of agricultural and freight-corridor duty on top of the range's frost cycles leave fatigue and hidden corrosion that only a strip-down can honestly find.
EWP Australia carries out major inspections for Toowoomba and Darling Downs owners — full strip-down of load-bearing structure, NDT of critical welds and pins, hydraulic and electrical overhaul assessment, load testing on completion and the engineering documentation that resets the machine's inspection baseline. The scope is agreed and quoted before anything is disassembled, so the job can't quietly turn into an open-ended rebuild.
10-Year Major Inspections — The Scope
- Full strip-down and inspection of structural and load-bearing components
- NDT (crack testing) of welds, pins, bosses and critical sections
- Hydraulic, electrical and safety-system overhaul assessment
- Load testing on completion, witnessed and documented
- Engineering documentation recording the machine's new inspection baseline
- A clear scope and quote before work starts — no open-ended rebuilds

10-Year Major Inspections in Toowoomba — Common Questions
How do I work out whether mine hits its major at 5 years or 10?
The trigger is the equipment class — certain platform types reach the major at 5 years and others at 10. Read us the make, model and compliance-plate detail and we'll pin down the correct point before you commit to anything.
The machine will be off the road for a while — how do we manage that?
The turnaround and full scope are settled and priced before we touch a bolt, which lets you line up a hire or shuffle jobs in advance. Getting it in before the due date rather than after means the outage falls when it suits your calendar.
