Daily Plant and Truck Inspection Report
This daily plant and truck inspection report template helps crews complete quick pre-start checks before operating equipment on site. It guides users to record site and registration details, then review critical safety items including brakes and steering, gauges and warning devices, visibility components like windscreens and mirrors, cabin access and seatbelts, wheel and tyre condition, guards and warning signals, hydraulics for leaks and wear, excessive wear on hooks, chains and pins, and oil and coolant levels. It also prompts checks for electrical issues, fire extinguisher readiness and communications. If a defect makes the machine unsafe, the template instructs operators to park, tag out and notify a supervisor until rectified. Use it to standardize inspections and improve equipment safety and compliance.

Plant Inspection Checklist
This plant inspection checklist helps operators perform daily prestart safety checks on construction machinery and equipment. It covers cabin access, seat and seatbelts, controls, visibility items such as windscreen, wipers and mirrors, and warning devices including lights, beacons and horn. Inspect hydraulics for leaks and wear, check for engine and drivetrain leaks, test brakes and neutral start, confirm compulsory signs and reflectors, and verify the fire extinguisher is present. Note any damage to panels or guards, assess wheels, tyres or tracks, hitch safety pin, articulation and linkages. Ensure a spill kit is available, confirm plant security, and record and report defects with sign off.

JC Civil Plant Pre-Start Check
Conduct daily pre-start checks for civil construction plant and equipment. This checklist guides operators through visual and functional inspections, including lights and warning devices, hydraulics and hoses, pins and pivots, guards, hooks and chains, suspension and wheels, cabin condition (seat belts, visibility, mirrors), and the operation of brakes, steering, wipers, levers, and attachments before moving. Capture issues, note registration and plant type, add photos and comments, and complete operator sign-off with date and site details. Use this form to document defects, ensure equipment is fit for use, and maintain safety and compliance standards on site.

Plant Pre-site Inspection Checklist
Use this plant pre-site inspection checklist to assess the safe operating condition of construction plant and equipment before work begins. Verify tyres, fluid levels, lights, warning devices, gauges and labels; confirm seat belts, ROPS/FOPS and mirrors are intact; check hydraulics, pins, quick-hitch safety pin, brakes and steering; and ensure compliance plates and fire extinguishers are present. Capture photos and record meter readings to document condition and readiness. This checklist helps reduce risk, meet site requirements and maintain compliance.
