Grader Maintenance App

Grader Maintenance App keeps grader maintenance on schedule across every site. Technicians run PPM rounds on each grader, log worn cutting edge and circle, hydraulic leaks, articulation or steering play, brake performance loss, and raise work orders that are tracked to verified closure. Managers see overdue grader service visits and asset risk before a breakdown, not after.

What is Grader Maintenance App?

Grader Maintenance App runs planned grader maintenance covering tyres, pressure, and rim condition, moldboard, circle, and cutting edge, hydraulic hoses and rams, articulation and steering, and brakes, ROPS, and seat belt, with a photo and a sign-off required on each point. Without a system, grader findings live on paper and in chat. A grader fault such as worn cutting edge and circle slips through. An audit then means rebuilding grader evidence from folders.

Grader Maintenance App keeps one record per grader and per site, with photo evidence and a named sign-off. Each grader finding is tracked to verified closure. Earthworks and haul-road crews see grader completion and overdue actions across the mining portfolio. Every grader record proves what was checked, when, and by whom.

What to Include in a Grader Maintenance App?

A comprehensive grader inspection covers the key areas that affect operations and compliance. Run grader maintenance with scheduled tasks, service history, and condition records. Your inspection should include sections for tyres, pressure, and rim condition; moldboard, circle, and cutting edge; and hydraulic hoses and rams, evidence capture, pass/fail or scoring criteria, corrective action assignment, and sign-off, so that nothing is missed and every inspection finding is traceable.

How to Use Grader Maintenance App

Preventive maintenance works when service visits actually happen on time. Follow these steps for each service visit:

  1. Scan the grader QR code to open its service history and the due PPM checklist.
  2. Run the maintenance round, checking for worn cutting edge and circle, hydraulic leaks, articulation or steering play, brake performance loss and recording readings.
  3. Log any defect with a photo and raise a work order with an owner and due date.
  4. Record the work done and any parts used so the asset history stays complete.
  5. Sign off. The dashboard updates service contract and PPM due dates for the next visit.

What Does Grader Maintenance Cover?

A grader maintenance round covers tyres, pressure, and rim condition, moldboard, circle, and cutting edge, hydraulic hoses and rams, articulation and steering, brakes, ROPS, and seat belt, and lights, horn, and reversing alarm. Each grader task is scheduled per asset and done on mobile with photo evidence. It is logged to the grader service history. So grader upkeep is provable, not assumed.

What Maintenance Teams Fix When Grader PPM Moves Off the Spreadsheet

Grader work breaks down the moment evidence leaves the form. These are the problems Grader Maintenance App is built to remove, and what the team gets back when it does.

Grader Maintenance App: Grader data is scattered across spreadsheets, photos, and chat

Grader data is scattered across spreadsheets, photos, and chat

Some grader records sit in Excel, some in a WhatsApp group, some in a folder of photos. There is no single source of truth for the grader, so every grader question takes an hour and three people to answer.

Problem

  • Grader records split across Excel, chat, and photo folders
  • No single trusted version of the grader record
  • Answering a simple grader question takes hours

Solution

  • One system of record for every grader check and finding
  • Every grader photo and action tied to its record
  • Search any site or grader and get an answer instantly
Grader Maintenance App: Grader PPM tracked on Excel, with no proof the visit happened

Grader PPM tracked on Excel, with no proof the visit happened

The maintenance schedule lives in a spreadsheet. A visit is marked done, but whether the technician actually serviced the grader or signed the sheet from the car park is anyone's guess.

Problem

  • Grader PPM schedules tracked on a spreadsheet
  • Grader visits marked done with no proof of work
  • Grader service contract renewals missed until a contract has lapsed

Solution

  • Service visits linked to the grader QR code
  • Geofenced photo evidence on every grader visit
  • Grader service contract and PPM due dates surfaced before they slip
Grader Maintenance App: Grader issues get logged, then quietly forgotten

Grader issues get logged, then quietly forgotten

A failed item is noted during a routine service visit. Nobody owns it, no date is set, and the next service visit finds the same problem on the same grader. The grader issue is logged, not closed.

Problem

  • Failed grader items noted but never assigned to anyone
  • No due date on a grader fix, so nothing is ever overdue
  • The grader fix is marked done with no proof it happened

Solution

  • Every failed grader item becomes an owned corrective action
  • Closure needs a grader verification photo before sign-off
  • Overdue actions escalate automatically

Frequently Asked Questions

What does Grader Maintenance App check on grader maintenance?

Grader Maintenance App runs planned grader maintenance covering tyres, pressure, and rim condition, moldboard, circle, and cutting edge, hydraulic hoses and rams, articulation and steering, and brakes, ROPS, and seat belt. Each task is scheduled per asset and completed on mobile with photo evidence, then logged to the service history, so earthworks and haul-road crews can prove upkeep happened on time. Catching worn cutting edge and circle on a planned visit avoids a reactive breakdown later. Due dates and overdue tasks surface on the dashboard before a service quietly lapses, which is the common and expensive gap when schedules live in a spreadsheet.

Which grader defects matter most, and what happens if they are missed?

The maintenance targets the grader failures that matter most: worn cutting edge and circle, hydraulic leaks, articulation or steering play, and brake performance loss. Left unchecked, a fault such as worn cutting edge and circle 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 earthworks and haul-road crews 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 Grader Maintenance App support for grader work?

Grader Maintenance App keeps grader checks aligned to PUWER and manufacturer pre-start schedule. The photos and readings 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, earthworks and haul-road crews 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 grader checks offline and across multiple sites?

Yes. Grader Maintenance App is offline-first: teams complete grader 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 earthworks and haul-road crews 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 grader maintenance was completed?

Every completed grader maintenance carries moldboard and edge photo, hydraulic leak photo, and tyre photo, a GPS location, a timestamp, and a named sign-off. Because the evidence is captured during the round rather than typed up afterwards, earthworks and haul-road crews 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.
