Truck-mounted EWPs, electrical controls, and scissor lifts serviced on site.
Elevated work
Truck-mounted EWPs, inspected and overhauled
Truck-mounted EWPs are inspected here, and overhauled when an inspection is no longer enough. The inspection tells us which of the two the machine needs. The overhaul is the full job. They are not the same visit, and booking an inspection when you already know the machine needs an overhaul only delays the work. If you know which one you need, say so.
This equipment is part of the Tinana workshop, not a hire desk and not a separate yard. Electrical control systems on these machines are part of the work, which is the next section. A machine that will not function is not assumed to be a hydraulic fault until the controls have been considered. Scissor lifts, which are a different machine, can be serviced on site. A truck-mounted EWP comes to the bay when the inspection or the overhaul needs the workshop.
There is no single lifting range printed for every unit. Name the machine. We will say what we can do for that one. A capacity guessed to fill a line on a page is not a capacity you should rely on, and we will not invent one. The questions at the bottom of this page say the same thing, because it is the limit of what can be honestly written down.
Book the unit, not a category. Truck-mounted EWP, inspection or overhaul, and whether it can come to 2/24 Iindah Road West, Tinana. If it has failed and the job is stopped, ring (07) 4123 5246. If it can be planned, the quote page asks for the vehicle or machine and what it needs. “EWP” on its own is not enough. The make and what it is doing, or not doing, is the booking.
Controls
The electrical controls, not only the boom
Electrical control systems on elevated equipment are part of the job. A machine that will not function is not treated as a hydraulic fault until the controls have been considered. That order matters. A boom that will not move can be a control fault, and replacing a hydraulic component to test that theory is how the bill grows while the machine stays dead.
The controls are looked at with the rest of the unit. Truck-mounted EWPs that are in for inspection or overhaul have the electrical side included in the thinking, not booked as a surprise at the end. If you have already seen a control fault, a dead function, an intermittent movement, say so when you book. That is more useful than a part name you are not sure of. The diagnosis is the workshop’s job. The symptom is yours.
This is the same electrical approach used on the trucks and 4x4s in the Tinana workshop. A fault is traced. A part is not fitted to see if the symptom goes away. Elevated equipment does not get a looser standard because the machine is less familiar than a truck. If the control fault is what has stopped the machine today, ring (07) 4123 5246. If it can come in, the address is 2/24 Iindah Road West.
Scissor lifts have controls too, and they can be serviced on site. A truck-mounted EWP that needs the controls opened up is more often a bay job. Say which machine you have. The quote page will take it as planned work if you name the unit and the fault you have seen. We will not quote a control system from the words “electrics playing up” alone. One sentence about what it will not do is enough to start.
Scissor lifts
Serviced where they are working
Scissor lifts are serviced where they are working. They come to the Tinana bay when the repair needs the workshop rather than a visit. That is the distinction. An on-site service is for the work that can be finished beside the machine. A repair that needs the bench, the hoist, or a proper overhaul comes to 2/24 Iindah Road West. Booking the wrong one means either a ute arrives for a job that should have been in the bay, or a machine is floated for a job that could have stayed on site.
Truck-mounted EWPs are the other half of this page. They are inspected and, when that is not enough, overhauled. Their electrical controls are part of that work. A scissor lift and a truck-mounted EWP are not booked as “lifting gear” without a name. Say which one it is. The work follows the machine, not a shared label.
On-site servicing still belongs to this workshop. It is not subcontracted out as a separate trade. The same people who would take the unit in the bay will come to it when the job allows. If the site cannot release the machine, say that. A service booked for a lift that is still in the air, or still required on the job that hour, is not a service we can do that day.
There is still no single lifting range for every unit. Name the scissor lift or the EWP and we will say what we can do for it. Planned work goes through the quote page: the machine, on site or in the workshop, and what it needs. A unit that has failed and stopped the job is (07) 4123 5246. Bring whatever you have already seen, especially a control fault, and leave the part name to the inspection.
Capacity
The range depends on the unit
Mobile lifting equipment is worked on here. There is no single lifting range printed for every machine, and there will not be one added to make this section look finished. Name the unit. We will say what we can do for that one. A capacity written down for a machine we have not identified is a number you should not trust, and we will not publish one.
The machines this page does cover, without pretending they share a rating, are truck-mounted EWPs and scissor lifts, and the electrical controls on them. Truck-mounted EWPs are inspected and overhauled. Scissor lifts are serviced on site, and brought to the Tinana workshop when the repair needs the bay. If your unit is one of those, the range question is answered for that unit, not for the category. If it is something else in mobile lifting, name it. We will say whether it is work we take on.
This limit is deliberate. Content that invents a range is more dangerous than content that refuses one. An EWP quoted against the wrong capacity is not a quote. When you use the quote page, the field that matters is the machine, not a tonne figure you hope we will match. Write what it is. Write whether you need an inspection, a fault found, or an overhaul. Write whether it can come to 2/24 Iindah Road West or the work stays on site.
If the unit has failed today, do not wait on a form to establish the range. Ring (07) 4123 5246, say what the machine is, and say what it will not do. The range, if it matters to that repair, is part of the conversation about that unit. It is not a line at the top of the page. The questions below repeat this on purpose, in shorter form, because it is the thing people ask first and the thing that cannot be answered in general.
Lifting equipment
EWP and scissor lift questions
Do you inspect and overhaul truck-mounted EWPs?
Yes. Truck-mounted EWPs are inspected, and overhauled when an inspection is not enough.
Can a scissor lift be serviced on site?
Yes. Scissor lifts are serviced where they are working, and brought to the bay when the repair needs the workshop.
What lifting range do you cover?
It depends on the unit. Name the machine and we will say what we can do for that one. There is no single range printed for every unit.
Do you work on the electrical controls?
Yes. A machine that will not function is not treated as a hydraulic fault until the controls have been considered.
Need an EWP looked at?
Tell us the machine. We will confirm the work from there.
