OSHA daily forklift inspections and moreScan. Tap.
Cleared.

Daily inspections done on any phone or tablet in under a minute. No app to install, no operator logins. Put a QR code on any unit and the checklist already fits it, whether it is a propane sit-down, a scissor lift or a baggage tug.

7 days free. No card required.

Who runs it

One van or a hundred forklifts. The checklist changes with the machine, not with the industry: pick what you run and the standard items are already there.

  • Warehousing & distribution

    Sit-down and stand-up forklifts, reach trucks, order pickers, pallet jacks, battery chargers, floor scrubbers

  • Aviation ground handling

    Baggage tugs, belt loaders, container loaders, pushback tractors, towbars, lavatory, water and catering trucks

  • Construction & rental

    Scissor lifts, boom lifts, telehandlers, rough-terrain forklifts

  • Manufacturing & plants

    Forklifts, tow tractors, scissor lifts, floor scrubbers

  • Facilities & janitorial

    Floor scrubbers, scissor lifts, cars, vans and pickups

  • Municipal & public works

    Cars, vans and pickups, scissor lifts, floor scrubbers

  • Company vehicles

    Cars, vans and pickups for any business with keys on a hook: architects, engineers, sales and field service. Drivers scan a sticker on the visor: no app, no login.

  • Anything not on this list

    Start from blank and write your own checklist. Same records, same audit trail.

Three screens to the first inspection

Six fields to fill in and two to choose from a list. No sales call, no setup fee and no site visit.

1

Enter your company

Name and location. The timezone is set automatically, because the compliance day depends on it.

2

Add your first unit

Unit number, type, power. The checklist assembles itself from there.

3

Print, affix, scan

One QR per unit, on Avery sheets, a thermal label printer, or from a print shop. Then inspect.

Scan before use

Scan this code.
Try it now.

Point your phone’s camera at the code. With no app and no download, it opens the free trial, the same way the code on a forklift opens that forklift’s checklist.

  • Print one code per unit and put it where the operator stands
  • The built-in camera opens it on any phone or tablet made since about 2017
  • The right checklist for that unit, already assembled

Codes are unguessable and can be revoked. Regenerating a code retires the old label.

What it does

01

The checklist builds itself

Pick "reach truck, electric" and the checklist has battery, connector and charger items. Pick "sit-down, propane" and it has tank mount, relief valve and hose.

  • Over 230 standard daily inspection items, sorted by fuel and equipment type
  • Ready on day one, with nothing to configure
  • Then add, remove, rename or reorder anything

02

Any equipment, any industry

Twenty-two ready-made libraries, and a blank one for everything else. If we have not written a checklist for it, you write it — the same editor, the same records, the same audit trail.

  • Forklifts, battery chargers, scissor lifts, boom lifts, floor scrubbers, cars, vans and pickups
  • Aviation ground support: tugs, loaders, pushback tractors, lavatory, water and catering trucks
  • Or start from blank and build your own, for anything with a serial number

03

No app. No passwords.

Operators scan the code with the camera they already have, pick their name and work through the checklist.

  • Nothing to install and no per-operator license
  • New hires can inspect on their first day
  • Optional four-digit PINs when you need proof of who did the work

04

Failures reach the supervisor in seconds

A failed brake or a smell of propane reaches the supervisor with the unit, the item, the operator’s note and the photo — by email, or by text with the text-alert add-on — before the operator has put the phone away.

  • The unit stays out of service until someone clears it, and scanning it opens a red Out of service screen
  • “Do not drive this unit” for problems no checklist item covers: a noise, a smell, a crack
  • Each person picks what reaches them: every inspection, every defect, critical only, or none

05

Every defect followed to the fix

One place for every defect: where each repair stands, when the unit is due back, and who fixed it.

  • Status updates like “part ordered,” with the day the unit is due back
  • The operator who scans a down unit sees the latest update and when it is due back
  • Open defects export to Excel as a work list for maintenance

06

Reports arrive on their own

No one has to remember to check. A defect is emailed immediately, and reports arrive on a schedule each person sets.

  • A daily email listing what was not inspected, quiet on the days nothing is wrong
  • A Monday summary: inspections completed, the change from last week, and the most frequent failures
  • Each person picks which emails they get and what time they land

07

See who skipped the inspection

The dashboard opens on the units not yet inspected today, not a chart. The one thing a paper binder can never tell you is what is not in it.

  • Every unit still due today, by name, and the days each one was missed
  • A QR code on the wall shows the floor what is still due, with no login
  • Inspections finished suspiciously fast are flagged, not hidden

08

PMs on the same page

Every unit carries its PM schedule beside its inspections, replacing the spreadsheet of service dates.

  • PMs by months, hour meter or miles, green, yellow when close, red when due
  • Repairs logged beside them, with the service report or invoice attached
  • PMs coming due arrive in the daily email and the Monday summary

09

Operator training on file

OSHA requires you to certify each operator’s training and evaluation, and to evaluate them again at least every three years. The paperwork is kept with each operator, not in a filing cabinet.

  • Upload the certificate or a photo of the written test, with the day they were trained
  • Certifications coming due show 60 days ahead, on the list and in the daily email
  • One click lists everyone with no training record on file

10

Audit-ready in one click

Any date range to Excel, any inspection or month to a PDF you can print or email. Every record keeps the exact checklist wording from the day it was filled out.

  • Photos and timestamps on every record
  • Renaming an item next year never rewrites last year’s record
  • An inspection done in Spanish reads back in Spanish, English beside it
  • Fleet, equipment and operator lists export to Excel

11

Works in the dead spots

The back of a steel-framed warehouse often has no signal, and that is where the equipment is parked.

  • The checklist loads from the phone when there is no coverage
  • A finished inspection is saved on the handset and sends itself later
  • An inspection is never lost because of a bad corner

A bad hose at 6:04am

The operator marks one item failed and writes what is wrong. The unit is out of service before they put the phone away, and the supervisor is alerted at the same moment.

The dashboard opens on what still needs inspecting today, not on a chart. The daily email says the same thing.

How the week went

Every Monday morning, automatically: how much of the fleet was inspected, how that compares with last week, which units are being skipped, and which items fail most often.

  • An answer for management

    Management wants to know the fleet is being inspected. This report is the answer, dated.

  • It arrives every week

    A quiet week is reported too. A report that only arrives when something is wrong is hard to trust.

  • Every person picks their own day and time

    Monday at six, Friday afternoon, or turned off entirely.

  • Photos on any item
  • Works in dead spots
  • Unlimited operators
  • English and Spanish on forklift checklists
  • Multiple sites under one account
  • Optional operator PINs
  • Training records and certification reminders
  • Text alerts as an optional add-on
  • Excel export of every list

Priced by fleet, not by seat

Unlimited operators and supervisors, and every safety feature on every account. You pay for the account and for the units on it, and nothing else. Forklift batteries and chargers are free, so every one can be added. Text alerts are an optional add-on.

Trucks, lifts and vehicles. Forklift batteries and chargers are free.

Security and your records

A compliance record has value only if it cannot be changed after the fact.

  • Your records stay yours

    Every company is walled off in the database itself, so one customer can never see another’s units, people or records.

  • Encrypted, and kept in the US

    Stored in the United States, encrypted at rest, backed up every night, and only ever sent over HTTPS.

  • Private photos and files

    Photos, training records and service reports sit in private storage, opened only through short-lived links for signed-in members of your company.

  • A record cannot be rewritten

    A submitted inspection is never edited, by you or by us. Changing a checklist next year never changes what last year’s record says.

  • Operators get no login to lose

    A QR code opens one unit’s checklist and never shows its history. Replace a code any time and the old label stops working. Optional PINs are never stored as plain digits.

  • Card details never touch us

    Payments are handled by Stripe. No advertising trackers, and your records can be exported at any time.

Questions

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.
