Maintenance & compliance desk · Equipment rental
Never miss a PM, never miss a filing.
A scissor lift's annual inspection and a forklift's OSHA-mandated PM run on hour meters nobody is watching. Lapse one and the unit can't legally rent.
The reality
An out-of-cert unit can't be rented.
Maintenance lives on hour meters and calendars that nobody is watching closely. Someone has to track which units are due for preventive service by hours or date, schedule the service before the unit goes out again, log the inspection, and keep the ANSI and OSHA records filed so they exist when an auditor or a customer asks. Let a PM lapse and the unit is grounded; let an inspection record go missing and the compliance file has a hole in it.
The operator owns the maintenance and compliance desk. It tracks PM due dates against hours and calendar, schedules service before the unit ships, logs the inspection to the asset record, and files the compliance paperwork — so the fleet stays rentable and the records stand up when they're pulled.
