5-Year Major Inspections
5-year major inspections for EWP classes that reach their mid-life compliance milestone.
Service Overview
Some classes of elevated work platform reach a major inspection milestone at five years, depending on the equipment type and how it has been used. Our inspectors carry out the detailed teardown assessment the standard calls for — checking structural welds, pins, slew components and safety-critical systems — then document everything so the machine returns to service with its compliance history intact.

How It Works
A straightforward process built around keeping your equipment compliant, safe and working.
Confirm the milestone
We check the machine's class, age and history to confirm whether a 5 or 10 year major inspection applies — it depends on the equipment class and how it has been used.
Teardown assessment
The machine is stripped to the level the standard requires and every structural and safety-critical component is examined.
Recertify & return
Repairs are completed, the machine is tested, and full documentation is issued before it goes back to work.
