Major inspections
Major Inspection on overhead cranes is required to be completed once the crane and/or hoist reaches its Design Work Period (DWP). This is advised by Australian Standards (AS2550.1) to be 25 years for crane structure and 10 years for mechanical components such as hoists.
West Crane Services provides major inspections in line with current Australian Standards, including a comprehensive and precise overhaul and inspection of all internal and external mechanical, electrical, and structural components.
All major inspection works are overseen by our in-house engineering team, who will provide an extensive major inspection report outlining the full condition of the components inspected. This includes:
- Renewed lifespan of crane/hoist
- Recommend and required repairs
- Repairs and upgrades
- Current Australian Standards compliance
Unsure if your crane has reached its DWP and requires a major inspection?

We provide these services in Truganina, West Melbourne, Dandenong, Ballarat, Bendigo, Echuca, Melbourne, Geelong, South Australia, Queensland, Tasmania, and New South Wales.
