Vehicle Inspection for Construction Fleets

Introduction

Construction companies use a variety of vehicles, such as dump trucks, excavators, cranes, and bulldozers, to transport materials, equipment, and personnel to job sites. These vehicles must be inspected regularly to ensure that they are in good working condition and safe to operate.

Challenges

One of the significant challenges faced by the construction company with respect to vehicle inspection was the diversity of vehicles and equipment in the fleet.

Construction companies typically operate a wide variety of vehicles, including excavators, bulldozers, and dump trucks, each with its unique maintenance requirements. Manual vehicle inspections can be time-consuming, prone to human error, and lead to challenges in documentation and compliance management.

It was challenging to ensure that all vehicles and equipment receive the necessary inspections in a timely manner, especially given the demanding schedules and fast-paced nature of construction work. In addition, paper-based inspections were time-consuming.
