Benefits of Equipment Inspections
It is important to have regular heavy equipment inspections to ensure that the equipment is safe to use and is in good working condition.
These preventative maintenance inspections can help you identify any potential problems that could lead to damage, accidents or injuries.
Additionally, they can help extend the life of the equipment by identifying any wear and tear that may need to be addressed. Heavy equipment inspections should be conducted regularly by the operator of the equipment or by a qualified technician.

An equipment inspection checklist is a list of items that need to be inspected regularly to ensure the safety and proper functioning of the equipment.
