10-Year Major Inspections in Townsville
North Queensland machines face the double tax: tropical humidity and coastal salt attack scissor lifts, boom lifts and cherry pickers year-round, and the distance from southern facilities means major inspections get deferred until they're urgent. A Townsville machine arriving at its 10-year window deserves better than a rushed job or an interstate freight bill organised in a panic.
EWP Australia coordinates 10-year major inspections for Townsville and North Queensland owners across scissor lifts, boom lifts and cherry pickers as planned, managed work: condition assessment first, then strip-down with tropical corrosion mapped honestly, NDT of critical structure, load testing and complete documentation. Visits and logistics are scoped in advance so distance is a line item, not a crisis.
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 Townsville — Common Questions
How far ahead should a Townsville owner plan a major?
Six months ahead is comfortable; more is better. Early scoping lets the work slot into North Queensland visit schedules instead of requiring a dedicated mobilisation.
Do tropical machines routinely need structural work at their major?
More often than southern machines, yes — salt and humidity earn their reputation. The assessment tells you what's really there before you commit to anything.
