Pallet Truck Inspection Books - 25 Checklists

Pallet truck inspections are a crucial part of warehouse safety and equipment maintenance. Carrying out regular pre-use inspections helps identify potential faults early, before they develop into more serious or costly defects. Our expert-designed pallet truck checklists provide a practical, structured way to improve safety, reduce maintenance costs, and ensure compliance with legal responsibilities such as PUWER (Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998) and LOLER (Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations 1998).

Each Good to Go Safety Pallet Truck Check Book contains 25 individual inspection checklists covering both manual pallet trucks and electric/ride-on models. These checklists include comprehensive inspections of components, mechanics, wheels, steering, brakes, and safety features. A duplicate carbon copy of each completed checklist is retained in the book for management records, while the original copy can be placed in a Good to Go Safety Status Tag. This allows all employees to see the latest inspection findings and date, providing a clear, visual reminder that the equipment has been checked.

The status tag system also helps maintain a visible audit trail. Simply attaching the tag to a pallet truck ensures operators remember to carry out pre-use inspections. After completing the inspection, the checklist is inserted into the tag, which will display either a ?Good to Go? status if the equipment is safe or a ?Do Not Use? alert if faults are found. This system prevents unsafe equipment from being used and ensures that all employees are aware of the equipment?s condition.

At the beginning of each shift, operators should conduct a full inspection of their pallet truck and document the results. Any defects or issues must be reported immediately to a supervisor so they can be corrected before use. Regular pre-use checks not only protect workers from accidents but also help extend the life of your equipment and reduce long-term maintenance costs.

By implementing daily or pre-use inspections, your organisation can proactively manage risks, improve operational safety, and maintain compliance with PUWER, LOLER, and best practice guidelines. The check book also includes useful guidance notes to remind operatives what to look for during inspections, ensuring even less experienced operators can carry out thorough and effective checks.
