10-Year Major Inspections & Recertification.
When elevating work platforms reach their 10-year milestone, AS 2550.10 mandates a comprehensive strip-down assessment. We inspect, recertify, and extend the safe working life of your fleet so your machines stay site-compliant and earning.
Protect your asset value and legal compliance.
Under Australian Standards (AS 2550.10), all Elevating Work Platforms (EWPs) — including scissor lifts, boom lifts, telehandlers, and spider lifts — must undergo a major inspection at 10 years of age, and every 5 years thereafter.
Running plant past its due date renders it non-compliant for Tier 1 construction sites, invalidates insurance coverage, and poses severe workplace safety risks. At Nash Plant Group, our qualified heavy plant mechanics handle the entire process from strip-down to NDT crack testing, component renewal, engineering sign-off, and new compliance plating.
Inspection Scope
Structural & Load-Path Assessment
Chassis, boom sections, scissor stack, pins, and slew ring thoroughly cleaned and inspected.
Non-Destructive Testing (NDT)
Magnetic particle and ultrasonic testing coordinated across all critical structural welds.
Hydraulic System Overhaul
Hoses, cylinders, valves, and pumps pressure-tested, resealed, or replaced.
Electrical & Safety Systems
Wiring harnesses, tilt sensors, limit switches, and emergency lowering systems verified.
Full Recertification & Plating
Official 10-year major compliance plate attached with a complete engineering logbook.
Transparent 3-Step Process.
A structured engineering approach designed to minimize downtime and return your machine to full working specification.
Assessment & Strip-Down
The unit is brought to our workshop, completely washed, and systematically stripped to expose all structural welds, hydraulic rams, pins, and bushings.
NDT & Mechanical Overhaul
Certified NDT technicians test load-bearing welds. Worn pins, bearings, hydraulic hoses, and electrical components are replaced with genuine parts.
Load Testing & Certification
The machine undergoes full function testing under rated load, final safety calibration, and receives an official AS 2550.10 compliance plate and logbook.
