How It Works

A straightforward process built around keeping your equipment compliant, safe and working.

01

Assessment & strip-down

The unit is stripped and each major component is examined for wear, fatigue and corrosion.

02

Testing & rectification

Components are tested, and worn or defective parts are repaired or replaced.

03

Certification

Once the unit meets standard, it is recertified and returned with full documentation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about major (10-year) inspections.

What is a 10-year major inspection?

It is a comprehensive strip-down inspection required for elevated work platforms once they reach ten years of age, and periodically after. It assesses structural and safety-critical components far more deeply than a routine service.

Is a major inspection a legal requirement?

Australian Standards require major inspections for ageing EWPs to keep them compliant and safe to operate. Running plant past its due date can void compliance and affect insurance.

How long does a major inspection take?

It depends on the size and condition of the unit. We scope each job up front and keep you informed so you can plan around fleet downtime.

What happens if defects are found?

We document every defect, prioritise the safety-critical items, and carry out the repairs needed to bring the unit back to a certifiable standard.
