Elevating Safety Standards
Elevated Work Platforms (EWPs) put human lives directly at the end of a mechanical boom. The tolerance for structural or mechanical failure is absolute zero. Managing a fleet of EWPs requires strict adherence to inspection intervals to protect operators and prevent catastrophic falls.
Our engineers provide end-to-end inspection services for all EWP categories, from indoor scissor lifts to heavy-duty insulated truck mounts used in utility sectors. We execute mandatory 10-year and 5-year major inspections, NDT of critical boom sections, and stability testing to keep your fleet safe and compliant.

EWP Expertise
Inspection regimes for every type of access equipment.
Boom & Scissor Lifts
Comprehensive inspections for all types of self-propelled elevating work platforms.
Truck Mounted EWPs
Structural and mechanical testing for vehicle-mounted elevated work platforms.
Insulated EWPs
Specialised testing of fiberglass booms for high-voltage live-line work compliance.
Spider & Trailer Lifts
Statutory inspections for compact, tracked, and towable access equipment.
10 & 5 Year Majors
Mandatory teardown, NDT, and rebuilds to reset the statutory life of the EWP.
Periodic Inspections
Routine 3-monthly and annual safety checks to keep fleets operational.
Why It Matters
The critical risks of EWP operation.
Structural Collapse
Fatigue cracking in the knuckle boom or slew ring can cause the basket to drop instantly, resulting in fatal injuries.
Safety Interlock Failure
If tilt sensors or overload systems fail, the EWP can easily tip over when operating on uneven ground.
Insulation Breakdown
For utility EWPs, degraded fiberglass insulation removes the operator's protection against lethal high-voltage strikes.
Our Process
Functional & Safety Testing
Checking all operational controls, emergency descent systems, and interlocks.
Structural NDT
Non-destructive testing of critical welds, pins, and slew ring bolts.
Hydraulic Assessment
Pressure testing holding valves and checking for cylinder creep.
Certification & Decal
Issuing compliance report and fitting the compliance decal to the machine.
