This heavy equipment inspection checklist is a free and editable form which makes inspections quicker, easier and more organised.

In many industries, heavy equipment (excavators, diggers, trucks and more) are used to take projects to new heights and alleviate many of the stresses and dangers associated with manual labour.

But heavy equipment also comes with its own set of challenges including increased risk and more dramatic consequences.

One of the most important intersections for heavy equipment and site workers is in inspecting and maintaining the equipment so that it is in good and safe working order.

Many pieces of heavy equipment require specific inspections and specific maintenance scheduling, but all share some common traits which can be tackled in the form of a single heavy equipment inspection checklist.

The heavy equipment inspection checklist template you see to the right is a good example of what this checklist can and should look like.

As you can by expanding the template, the questions are pretty basic, but they serve as a framework for ensuring that all of the essential and easy-to-perform safety inspection items are covered, and that no avoidable accidents occur from a lacklustre inspection procedure or negligence.

You can use this template for yourself, and access and complete your checklists on any mobile, tablet or computer. Once complete, your inspection records can by synced online, or you can export them as hard copy PDF or CSV documents with your choice of logo.

The template is also customisable, so you can add, edit or remove questions.

Improve your heavy equipment inspections using this checklist now.
