Vehicle Loading Crane & EWP Certification for Road Transport
Certification and inspection of vehicle loading cranes and truck-mounted EWPs used across road transport and delivery fleets.
Road transport and delivery operators rely on vehicle loading cranes and truck-mounted access equipment for self-loading, delivery and materials handling. Mounted on vehicles that cover long distances in all conditions, these cranes and EWPs accumulate wear and must be kept certified to their standards. EWP Certification Australia certifies transport-sector loading cranes and EWPs, including the proof load testing required after repair or modification.
Vehicle loading cranes on the road fleet
Vehicle loading cranes, including HIAB-type units, are inspected under AS 1418.11 and used in accordance with the relevant AS 2550 part. Constant use for self-loading and delivery, combined with the vibration and exposure of road travel, drives wear on hydraulics, pins and structure that regular inspection is essential to manage. Following any structural repair or modification, proof load testing verifies safe performance at rated capacity.
Truck-mounted EWPs and access units
Where transport operators run truck-mounted EWPs, these are inspected under AS 1418.10 and used in accordance with AS 2550.10, with annual inspections and a major inspection at ten years. We certify both the loading cranes and the EWPs across a mixed transport fleet under one provider.
Fleet-wide compliance tracking
Transport fleets are mobile and dispersed, making due-date tracking a challenge. We maintain a consolidated register of inspection dates across the fleet and coordinate inspections around vehicle availability to keep every unit certified without taking trucks off the road unnecessarily.
