Aerial Lift Inspection Form
Use this aerial lift inspection form to conduct pre-operation checks and keep boom and scissor lifts in safe working condition. The checklist guides operators through visual and functional inspections, including fluids and leaks, tires and wheel lugs, cables and hoses, welds and structural elements, platform rails and load markings, hydraulic pressure, base and platform controls, alarms, lights, and gauges. It also prompts a site hazard review for holes, debris, overhead obstructions, live wires, traffic, and weather. Includes fields for lift ID, location, inspector details, recommendations, and signature. Designed for use in the SafetyCulture mobile app to streamline reporting and recordkeeping.

Verify operational readiness by testing limit switches, alarms, horns, ground and basket controls, and indicator lights. Note items needing repair, add comments, and capture the operator’s signature to document compliance and maintenance needs. Ideal for construction teams and facility crews working at height who need a simple, repeatable process to improve safety and reduce downtime.

Aerial Lift Daily Inspection Checklist
This aerial lift daily inspection checklist helps crews verify lift safety before operation. Capture equipment and project details, confirm operator training and fall protection, ensure the platform gate is closed, and that the unit is on level ground. Check that tools are secured, lifting capacity is visible, and lanyards are anchored correctly. Perform a pre-start inspection, look for cracks or structural damage, and test all controls and warning devices. Verify clearances around the lift and maintain safe distances from power lines. Includes operator and auditor signatures.
