Checked before the first wave leaves the depot.
Crossdocks move fastest exactly when checks are most tempting to skip — 04:00, trunk arrivals, first-wave departures. Asset360 fits the check into the sixty seconds the operation can actually spare.
What goes wrong in transport & haulage
The 04:00 problem
Night crossdock crews work to departure deadlines. Any check that takes longer than a minute, or needs finding a book, loses to the clock.
Truck-mounted forklifts leave the depot
A Moffett on a delivery round is still work equipment under PUWER — but its paper record lives in a cab, if it exists at all.
Drivers who occasionally lift
HGV drivers with forklift tickets fill gaps at the depot. Whether their ticket covers that truck, and whether it's still valid, is rarely verified.
Asset360 on the ground
First wave out by 05:30
The situation
Six PPTs and two counterbalance trucks work a night crossdock. Checks 'happen' but the book shows the same signature at the same time every night.
With Asset360
Each operator's scan-and-check takes under a minute at shift start and is individually time-stamped. Completion by 04:15 is visible on the dashboard — and a skipped check is visible too.
The Moffett on a delivery round
The situation
A truck-mounted forklift does twelve drops a day. Its checks are nobody's job and its record is nowhere.
With Asset360
The QR label rides with the machine. The driver scans and checks it before first use each day, wherever the vehicle is — the record lands in the same system as the depot fleet.
The driver covering a shift
The situation
An HGV driver with an old counterbalance ticket covers a depot shift. Nobody checks the date on the ticket.
With Asset360
The driver's operator record carries their licence category and expiry. If the ticket has lapsed, the PIN stage blocks them — before the truck moves, not after an incident.
Transport & haulage: common questions
Are truck-mounted forklifts (Moffetts) covered by PUWER?
Yes — a truck-mounted forklift is work equipment and lifting equipment like any other forklift, wherever it's used. Asset360 records its daily checks on the road and keeps its LOLER thorough-examination date tracked alongside the depot fleet.
Can drivers do checks away from the depot?
Yes. The check runs on any phone via the QR label on the machine — no depot Wi-Fi or kiosk needed. The record syncs to the same dashboard as everything else.
How fast is a check, really?
Around sixty seconds for a daily walk-around done properly: scan, PIN, guided items, signature. The speed is the point — a check that fits the operation is a check that actually happens.
