Digital Equipment Inspection Sheet
Replace paper equipment inspection sheets with FleetFabric©'s digital checklist module — built for forklifts, cranes, generators, plant machinery, and every asset your operation depends on across South Africa and Africa.
One Digital Sheet, Every Asset Class
A Digital Equipment Inspection Sheet is a structured electronic pre-use, daily, or periodic inspection record completed by an operator or technician on a mobile device. Unlike a paper form pinned to a machine, it is timestamped, geotagged, and immediately visible to supervisors and maintenance planners the moment it's submitted.
FleetFabric© builds this directly into its CMMS platform, so every equipment inspection feeds into service scheduling, work orders, compliance tracking, and asset-level cost history — with no separate app and no manual data re-entry.
What's Included
- Configurable checklists per asset class — plant, forklifts, cranes, generators, tools
- Mobile capture on iOS or Android, works offline
- Timestamped, geotagged, digitally signed records
- Automatic work order creation on flagged defects
- Asset hold — prevent use until a defect is resolved
- Full inspection history per asset, searchable and exportable
Why Every African Operation Needs a Digital Equipment Inspection Sheet
Operator & Site Safety
A completed pre-use check creates a documented safety baseline before equipment is put into service — closing the gap between what an operator sees and what a supervisor knows.
OHS Act Evidence
A digitally signed, timestamped inspection record is far stronger evidence of due diligence than a paper form in the event of an incident investigation or audit.
Defects Become Work Orders
A flagged defect doesn't sit on a clipboard — it automatically creates a work order and notifies the maintenance team before the shift even starts.
Lower Breakdown Costs
Catching a worn component on a routine inspection is a fraction of the cost of an unplanned failure mid-operation.

Digital Equipment Inspection Sheet — FAQ
How is this different from a vehicle DVIR?
The workflow is identical — configurable checklist, mobile capture, auto work order — but the checklist content is built for static and mobile plant, machinery, and tools rather than licensed road vehicles.
Can I use one system for both vehicles and equipment?
Yes. FleetFabric©'s CMMS runs vehicle DVIRs and equipment inspection sheets in the same platform, against the same asset register and work order system.
Does it work without connectivity on remote sites?
Yes — inspections are captured offline and sync automatically once a connection is available, which is essential for mining and remote agricultural sites.
