Construction Plant Inspection Checklist
Multi-site construction operations need consistent plant inspections wherever equipment is deployed. FleetFabric© standardises the checklist while giving each site real-time visibility of equipment condition.
Consistent Checks Across Every Site and Subcontractor
Construction plant moves between sites constantly, often operated by different crews or subcontractors. A digital checklist ensures the same standard of pre-use inspection happens regardless of who's on the machine or which site it's currently deployed to.
Flagged defects generate a work order immediately, and a site supervisor can see at a glance which plant on their site is cleared for use and which is on hold.
