Expand the Digital Checklist to Include All Mobile Equipment

All industrial companies have more than forklifts moving around. We often talk about the forklift checklist and what’s required, but what about the mobile equipment checklist? Industrial companies can have everything from golf carts to railcars and everything in between such as scrubbers, sweepers not to mention all of the outdoor equipment as well. How are you using your mobile equipment checklist? Is it still on paper, or have you expanded your digital forklift inspection solution to include the mobile equipment checklist? If not…why not?

What is a Mobile Equipment Checklist?

Equipment that can freely move about a facility that performs tasks are mobile equipment. All mobile equipment needs to be checked to ensure good working order or else it breaks down. In order to maximize the mobile equipment’s effectiveness, it needs to be inspected each time before use. This is where the mobile equipment checklist comes in. It is a list of questions that ensures the health of the mobile equipment so the facility operations worked efficiently and smoothly.

Moving Mobile Equipment Checklists to Digital

Everything so far that we spoke about above applies to your forklifts. Of course, because it is a piece of mobile equipment. And as you already know, your forklift checklist can be digitally captured with the S2 Digital Checklist with Impact Detection. And, it keeps the information ‘honest’, the list of questions as well as the answers can be randomized. What may be number one today, may be number 8 tomorrow.

How a Customer Expanded the Checklist

You can use the SAME S2 Digital Checklist system for ALL the mobile equipment and simply call it your digital mobile equipment checklist. The beauty is to add the checklist to the back of the system. One of our customers currently uses the S2 Digital Checklist to inspect their railcars on a daily basis. They crafted about eight questions simple answers. Some of them include:

• Checking the control labels and ensuring they are operational
• Checking the operation of the brakes
• Checking the fluid levels
• Checking the audio warning devices
• Checking if the strobe light works properly

This information can be digitally captured and analyzed in the telemetry Dashboard online. What would you want to know from the information collected? What decisions do you think they can make? That’s the importance of digitally collecting data.

Expanding the Digital Checklist

It’s now time for you to expand the mobile equipment checklist. Collect the data for all your mobile equipment and track the health of the mobile equipment even if its only used once per month or once per year! Have you ever used something in your home that’s been sitting for a few months and when you go to use it, it doesn’t work? We’ve all experienced it. Frustrating. Isn’t it.
