Item types

Nine ways to ask, one way to act

Every item can decide what happens to the vehicle when it fails. That is what turns a form into a readiness system.

Pass or fail

Pump primes

Two big buttons. The most common item, and the fastest to answer with gloves on.

Choose what a fail does: nothing, restricted, or off run.

Reading

Main oxygen cylinder pressure

A number with a unit, checked against a low and a high limit. kPa, psi, bar, litres, percent, seconds, anything you use.

Outside the limits behaves exactly like a failed item.

Count against par

Delivery hoses on board

How many are actually on the truck, compared with the par level for that vehicle.

Short of par can restrict the vehicle, or just be recorded for restocking.

Expiry date

Defibrillator pads

The date printed on the item. Recorded once and tracked from then on.

Warns 30 days out, and restricts the vehicle on the day it expires.

Photo

Damage to the rear locker

Required always, or only when an item fails. Photos attach to the item, not just the check.

Gives the workshop what it needs without a phone call.

Tyres

Every tyre on the vehicle

A framed photo of each tyre at its position on the walkaround, with tread depth and pressure if you want them.

Tread under your limit, or a failed tyre, sets the status you chose.

Odometer

Odometer on the dash

Photographed and read. Kept as a reading history for every vehicle, and used to work out when servicing is due.

A reading lower than the last is refused. A big jump is flagged for an officer.

Engine hours

Port engine hours

The hour meter on plant, pumps and vessels, read with a photo. Drives servicing by hours.

Never allowed to go backwards. A big jump is flagged for an officer.

Signature

Officer sign off

Signed with a finger on the phone, with the name of the person signing. Works offline like every other answer.

Shown on the check record and its printout. It never changes the vehicle status.

Real examples

Checks that match the truck in front of you

We start from real fleet content for your service, then shape it around your equipment, your SOPs and your site rules. Every new template starts with the emergency warning lights and siren checks.

  • Thresholds come from the manufacturer, your procedure or your equipment list. We never invent a number.
  • Items can be left without a limit until the real figure is confirmed. The reading is still recorded.
  • Each item can record where the requirement came from, which is useful evidence in an audit.

Walkaround templates

Items placed where the crew stands

A walkaround template puts each item at a position on the vehicle, so the crew checks the pump at the pump panel and the lockers where they are. The positions suit the vehicle.

Road vehicles

Front, kerb side front and rear, rear, driver side rear and front, then the cab for the odometer. Engine bay and underneath when the template uses them.

Trailers

Drawbar, driver side, rear and kerb side. Tyres by axle, up to six axles.

Vessels

Bow, starboard, stern and port, then the helm for engine hours. Engine room when the template uses it.

Versions

Change a check without breaking last year's records

Published checks are locked. Editing one creates a new version, which crews pick up on their next check. Old records still show exactly what was asked on the day.

Draft it

Add, edit, reorder or remove items. Preview exactly what the crew will see on a phone.

Publish it

One tap. Crews use it from their next check. The previous version is retired, not deleted.

Prove it

Every check records the version used, who did it, when, and where.

Send us one of your check sheets

We will build it into Escudo Emergency and show you it running on a phone, with the defects and status it produces.
