Safety, Inspection & Maintenance: guides and checklists
Most breakdowns and incidents begin with a skipped check. This topic covers the daily pre-start inspection, what operator competence means, how heat and dust affect engines, filters and tyres, and why maintenance records matter. It also explains a proper handover when equipment arrives and when it leaves. Start with the daily check guide, and ask the supplier for current inspection certificates. Requirements differ by project, site owner and insurer, so confirm them before the machine is mobilised.

Equipment Rental Insurance Questions to Ask Before Delivery
Settle four risks in writing before the machine arrives: the machine, other people's property, injury to people, and transport. Ask for the certificate, not a promise.

Read a certificate line by line: does it match this machine, is it in date, does its capacity cover your lift, and does it list conditions? A mismatch means stop and ask.
