Excavator Audit App turns excavator audits into a scored, repeatable programme. Auditors score each excavator against weighted criteria, attach photo evidence, and track corrective actions to verified closure across every site. Managers compare excavator audit scores across sites and track every corrective action to closure.
Excavator Audit App runs a scored excavator audit covering tracks, rollers, and undercarriage, hydraulic hoses, rams, and leaks, bucket, pins, and quick-hitch security, cab, ROPS, and mirrors or cameras, and brakes, controls, and lock lever, with a photo and a sign-off required on each point. Without a system, excavator findings live on paper and in chat. An excavator fault such as hydraulic hose or ram leaks slips through. An audit then means rebuilding excavator evidence from folders.
Excavator Audit App keeps one record per excavator and per site, with photo evidence and a named sign-off. Each excavator finding is tracked to verified closure. Plant operators and site maintenance see excavator completion and overdue actions across the mining portfolio. Every excavator record proves what was checked, when, and by whom.
What to Include in an Excavator Audit App?
A comprehensive excavator audit covers the key areas that affect operations and compliance. Audit excavator operations with weighted scoring, photo evidence, and corrective action tracking. Your audit should include sections for tracks, rollers, and undercarriage; hydraulic hoses, rams, and leaks; and bucket, pins, and quick-hitch security, evidence capture, pass/fail or scoring criteria, corrective action assignment, and sign-off, so that nothing is missed and every audit finding is traceable.
How to Use Excavator Audit App
A scored audit only helps if every auditor scores the same way. Follow these steps to run an excavator audit:
Open the excavator audit template, which carries weighted criteria and a scoring scheme.
Score each excavator against the criteria and attach photo evidence for any non-conformance.
Let the app calculate the section and overall excavator score so the site is comparable to others.
Raise a corrective action for each failed excavator criterion with an owner and due date.
Sign off the excavator audit. The scorecard and branded report generate automatically.
What Does an Excavator Audit Cover?
An excavator audit scores condition against PUWER and LOLER for lifting operations, checking tracks, rollers, and undercarriage, hydraulic hoses, rams, and leaks, bucket, pins, and quick-hitch security, cab, ROPS, and mirrors or cameras, brakes, controls, and lock lever, and lights, horn, and reversing alarm. Each excavator finding is logged with a photo, a severity, and the failing point. So the excavator audit becomes a traceable evidence pack, not an ageing spreadsheet.

How Excavator Audit App Scores an Excavator Audit
Step 1
Score Consistently
Weighted criteria are built into the excavator audit template.
Step 2
Evidence Every Finding
Auditors attach photo proof for each excavator non-conformance.
Step 3
Compare and Act
Scorecards rank sites and failed excavator criteria become corrective actions.

What Excavator Teams Fix When Audits Are Scored the Same Way Everywhere
Excavator work breaks down the moment evidence leaves the form. These are the problems Excavator Audit App is built to remove, and what the team gets back when it does.
You find out about an excavator problem from a complaint
There is no live view of excavator status across sites. The first sign that something failed on the excavator is a client call or an incident, by which point the problem is already public.
Problem
No live view of excavator status across sites
Excavator problems surface as complaints, not as data
Excavator risk is invisible until it becomes an incident
Solution
Live multi-site dashboard of excavator completion and open issues
Excavator risk scoring flags sites trending to failure
Configurable dashboards filter excavator results by site and date
Every auditor scores the excavator audit differently, so sites cannot be compared
One auditor is strict, another is lenient, and a third skips sections. The excavator audit scores come back, but leadership cannot tell whether a low score means a weak site or a tough auditor.
Problem
Excavator scoring depends on which auditor showed up
Excavator sections get skipped with no record
Excavator scores are not comparable across sites
Solution
Weighted excavator criteria baked into the audit template
Mandatory excavator sections, so nothing is skipped
Comparable excavator scores that roll up across the estate
The same excavator defect comes back every cycle
Hydraulic hose or ram leaks, worn undercarriage and track tension, unsecured quick-hitch, damaged ROPS or guards on the excavator are fixed, then reappear weeks later. Each excavator defect is treated as fresh because nobody sees it is the third time this quarter. The excavator root cause is never addressed.
Problem
Repeat excavator defects treated as new every time
What does Excavator Audit App check on an excavator audit?
Excavator Audit App runs a scored excavator audit against PUWER and LOLER for lifting operations, checking tracks, rollers, and undercarriage, hydraulic hoses, rams, and leaks, bucket, pins, and quick-hitch security, cab, ROPS, and mirrors or cameras, and brakes, controls, and lock lever. Each finding is logged with a photo, a severity, and the point it fails, then routed to an owner with a deadline. It stays open until a reviewer verifies the fix, so the audit becomes a traceable evidence pack for plant operators and site maintenance rather than an ageing spreadsheet. Because scoring is built into the template, two sites assessed by two people produce numbers you can compare fairly.
Which excavator defects matter most, and what happens if they are missed?
The audit targets the excavator failures that matter most: hydraulic hose or ram leaks, worn undercarriage and track tension, unsecured quick-hitch, and damaged ROPS or guards. Left unchecked, a fault such as hydraulic hose or ram leaks can mean downtime, a safety incident, or a failed audit, so every finding becomes an owned task with a deadline. It stays open until photo proof of the repair is reviewed, and repeat problems are flagged so plant operators and site maintenance fix the cause rather than the symptom. Prioritising by severity means the most serious issues are handled first, not whichever was reported loudest.
Which standards does Excavator Audit App support for excavator work?
Excavator Audit App keeps excavator checks aligned to PUWER and LOLER for lifting operations. The photos each standard expects are required fields, so an incomplete check cannot be closed and a gap is caught before an assessor finds it. When a review is due, plant operators and site maintenance pull the records for the site in scope with one search instead of rebuilding them from folders. Retention and history stay searchable, so proof remains defensible at any point, not only on the day of an audit.
Can teams run excavator checks offline and across multiple sites?
Yes. Excavator Audit App is offline-first: teams complete excavator checks on iOS or Android with no signal, capturing photos and the evidence each check requires in the field. Each record syncs automatically when the connection returns, with its timestamp intact, and the same template runs on every site. So plant operators and site maintenance get a live view of what is complete, overdue, or failing per location, and a weak connection in a remote or low-signal area never costs a round or loses a photo.
What evidence proves an excavator audit was completed?
Every completed excavator audit carries quick-hitch security photo, hydraulic leak photo, and undercarriage photo, a GPS location, a timestamp, and a named sign-off. Because the evidence is captured during the round rather than typed up afterwards, plant operators and site maintenance can show exactly what was checked, when, and by whom. When an assessor or client asks, the record exports in seconds as a branded PDF or a searchable history, so proof never depends on someone remembering where a photo was saved or which folder holds last quarter's records.
