Inspection, testing and repair for scissor lifts across Melbourne and Victoria. Lincer services all major brands operating in the Victorian market. Our LEEA-accredited business operates from our Thomastown workshop and carries out on-site inspections across Melbourne and regional Victoria.
Scissor Lift Inspections
Annual inspections and pre-operational compliance checks
Scissor lifts are classified as Elevated Work Platforms (EWPs). They must be inspected at regular intervals to remain compliant and safe for use. Lincer carries out annual inspections and pre-operational compliance checks across Melbourne and Victoria. Documentation is issued upon completion so your equipment is fully certified and ready to return to service.
What the annual and major inspection covers
A scissor lift inspection covers the full mechanical and electrical system, including the scissor mechanism and all structural components, hydraulic system including cylinders, hoses and fluid condition, platform deck, guardrails, gates and entry points, emergency lowering system, control functions at both platform and ground level, battery condition and charging system (electric models), engine and fuel system (diesel models), tyres or solid rubber wheels, all safety devices and interlock systems, and load and function testing to verify safe working load capacity. Lincer issues a full inspection certificate upon completion, confirming your equipment meets the requirements under Australian standards.
Pre-operational and periodic inspections
In addition to annual inspections, scissor lifts require pre-operational checks before each use and periodic inspections at intervals determined by usage frequency and the manufacturer's recommendations. Lincer can advise on the correct inspection schedule for your fleet and carry out scheduled periodic inspections to keep your equipment in continuous compliance.

Frequently asked questions
How often does a scissor lift need to be inspected?
Scissor lifts require a pre-operational check before each use and a formal inspection at least annually.

The major inspection goes beyond the annual check to include a detailed assessment of internal components, wear parts, load-bearing structures and safety systems. Lincer manages the full major inspection process and issues a certificate upon completion.
What documentation does Lincer provide after an inspection?
Lincer issues a full inspection certificate upon completion of every inspection, confirming the equipment has been assessed by a LEEA-accredited business and meets Australian standards requirements.
