The machine that goes down takes the schedule with it.
A hydraulic hose nobody looked at is half a day of six trades standing around. The walkaround catches it, defects reach the shop before the machine is needed, and service comes due on real hours instead of the calendar.
Excavators · dozers · graders · backhoes · rollers · telehandlers
The equipment, not the truck fleet.
Your dump trucks and float trailers are on-road commercial vehicles. They fall under the transport regime — a daily trip inspection in a prescribed format, carried in the cab — and wearpoint doesn't produce that report. It covers the equipment: excavators, dozers, loaders, rollers, telehandlers, and the compact iron around them, under the occupational health and safety duty to inspect before the equipment is operated. Alberta's OHS Code s.257 requires a visual inspection before powered mobile equipment is operated; BC's OHSR 16.3 requires one before it is first operated on a shift; Quebec's construction Safety Code, CSTC s.3.10.1, requires equipment on site to be inspected by an experienced person before its first use there and daily while in use.
Equipment downtime. Machines move, crews change, the schedule doesn’t wait.
The machine is rarely the expensive part. The crew standing around it is.
Downtime costs more than the repair
A defect raised on the walkaround reaches the shop the same morning, as an issue with the machine, the item, and the person on it, ready to become a work order. A machine that goes down is flagged to the people who have to re-plan around it — not discovered at 7 a.m. by the operator who needed it.
Rented iron leaves a record
Rentals come and go by the week. Each machine keeps its own inspection history, hour log, and defect trail for exactly as long as it is yours — which is also what you want in hand when the rental company disputes the damage.
Hours, not the calendar
Service intervals on this equipment are hour-based, and hours only mean something if somebody wrote them down. The operator enters the hour-meter reading at tap-out, so the 250-hour service comes due when the meter reads 250.
What it handles.
Site iron and the compact equipment around it. Asphalt pavers are not on this list — if paving is the core of your fleet, this isn’t the fit yet, and we’d rather tell you now.
Field guides for this work.
Boom lift pre-use inspection checklist
Telescopic and articulating booms, diesel or electric: the walkaround, the function checks from the ground controls up, and the work area overhead.
Dozer daily inspection checklist
Blade, ripper, and the undercarriage where a dozer’s money goes, plus the debris that turns into a fire.
Roller and compactor daily inspection checklist
The daily walkaround for single-drum, tandem, and pneumatic-tire rollers, from the scraper bars to the soft shoulder.
Scissor lift pre-use inspection checklist
Electric slab and rough-terrain scissors: the walkaround with the power off, the function checks from the ground controls up, and the floor and ceiling around you.
Construction and demolition questions.
We run three sites with three foremen. Does that work?
Yes — machines belong to a site. A manager sees the machines at the sites they manage, an operator sees what they’re assigned, and the owner sees everything. Checklists can be set company-wide or per site.
Can we use our own excavator inspection checklist?
Yes, and that’s how it’s meant to work: every outfit inspects its excavators its own way. You build the checklist once as an inspection template, from what your crew already checks, and every excavator uses it. If you have us set you up, we build it with you, and you can edit it any time.
What does it actually give us if an officer asks?
A signed record per machine — verdicts, timestamps, and the person on every defect — going back to your first inspection. What the regulation requires is the inspection itself; the record is how you show it happened. We don’t certify anything and we don’t file anything on your behalf.
Our operators aren’t going to fight with an app at 6 a.m.
Nor should they. Every screen has one dominant action sized for gloves, and the walkaround is a short list of taps — OK, Issue, or N/A. It runs in the browser on the phone they already carry; there’s no app to install and no training course.
