- Does OSHA require a written inspection record?
- OSHA requires the examination — 1910.178(q)(7) says a powered industrial truck must be examined before it is used, at least daily and after every shift where trucks run around the clock, and taken out of service if it is not in safe operating condition. It does not require you to keep a written record. What a record does is prove the examination happened, which is the part that matters when an inspector or an insurer asks.
- Do operators need to download anything?
- No. They scan the QR code with the camera on whatever they carry — phone or tablet, iPhone or Android — and the checklist opens in the browser. There is no app and no operator login.
- What if the back of the warehouse has no signal?
- The checklist keeps working. It loads from the phone, the finished inspection is saved on the handset, and it sends itself as soon as there is coverage again.
- Can I use my own checklist?
- Yes. Every unit starts with the standard items for its type and fuel, and you can add, remove, rename and reorder anything, or start from blank. Editing a checklist never changes a record already filed.
- What happens when an operator fails a critical item?
- The unit is shown as out of service immediately, the operator is told not to drive it, and the supervisors who asked for alerts are emailed (or texted) with the item, the note and any photo. Anyone who scans it afterwards sees a red Out of service screen, and it stays out of service until someone returns it to service.
- Can I export my data if I leave?
- Yes — any date range to Excel, and any inspection or month to PDF, at any time while the account is active. If it lapses you get a warning period to export, and the records are kept for 12 months afterwards in case you return.
- Do batteries and chargers count as units?
- No. Chargers are free: add every one, with a weekly check or PM tracking only, and the bill does not change. An uninspected charging area is a hazard, so cost should never be the reason to leave one out. Forklift batteries are also free, with their own PM schedule beside the forklift’s.
- Can I keep operator training records in it?
- Yes. Each operator has a page for their certificates, written tests and evaluation sheets, uploaded as a PDF or a photo with the day they were trained. OSHA has you evaluate operators again at least every three years, so certifications coming due are flagged 60 days ahead on the operator list and in the daily email. Operators never see them.
- Do you take purchase orders or ACH?
- Card and bank transfer (ACH) are both offered at checkout. Annual invoicing is available for accounts payable departments that need it, with a PO number on the invoice.
