Scraper Inspection App

Scraper Inspection App runs structured scraper inspections across every site. Inspectors complete forms on a phone or tablet, capture photo and voice evidence on each scraper, and raise corrective actions the moment something fails. Managers see scraper compliance status, open issues, and performance across every site in real time.

What is Scraper Inspection App?

Scraper Inspection App runs a structured scraper inspection covering tyres, pressure, and rim condition, bowl, apron, and ejector, cutting edge and router bits, hydraulic hoses and rams, and brakes, ROPS, and hitch, with a photo and a sign-off required on each point. Without a system, scraper findings live on paper and in chat. A scraper fault such as worn cutting edge and bits slips through. An audit then means rebuilding scraper evidence from folders.

Scraper Inspection App keeps one record per scraper and per site, with photo evidence and a named sign-off. Each scraper finding is tracked to verified closure. Earthworks plant operators see scraper completion and overdue actions across the mining portfolio. Every scraper record proves what was checked, when, and by whom.

What to Include in a Scraper Inspection App?

A comprehensive scraper inspection covers the key areas that affect operations and compliance. Inspect scrapers with structured bowl, apron, and ejector checks plus defect logging. Your inspection should include sections for tyres, pressure, and rim condition; bowl, apron, and ejector; and cutting edge and router bits, 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 Scraper Inspection App

A consistent routine keeps scraper inspections reliable across every site. Follow these steps to run an effective inspection:

  1. Open the assigned scraper template on a phone or tablet and confirm the site, scraper, date, and inspector.
  2. Work through each section, marking items pass or fail and recording the condition of the scraper.
  3. Attach a photo or voice note for any finding, especially worn cutting edge and bits, apron or ejector faults, hydraulic leaks, hitch or brake defects.
  4. For every failed scraper item, raise a corrective action with an owner, severity, and due date.
  5. Sign off the scraper form. The scraper report generates automatically and syncs to the multi-site dashboard.

What Does a Scraper Inspection Cover?

A scraper inspection covers tyres, pressure, and rim condition, bowl, apron, and ejector, cutting edge and router bits, hydraulic hoses and rams, brakes, ROPS, and hitch, and lights, horn, and reversing alarm. Earthworks plant operators capture a photo and a reading on each scraper point. They work offline where signal is poor, then sign the scraper round off. So every scraper record proves what was checked, when, and by whom.

What Gets Checked

  • Tyres, pressure, and rim condition

What Scraper Teams Fix When Inspections Move Off Paper

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

Scraper Inspection App: The scraper report is still being assembled by hand

The scraper report is still being assembled by hand

Someone spends Friday afternoon collecting scraper photos, notes, and inspection records into a report. By the time leadership reads it, the scraper data is days old and the next problem is already live.

Problem

  • Scraper reports compiled by hand from photos and notes
  • Leadership reads scraper data that is already days old
  • Every scraper report looks slightly different

Solution

  • Branded scraper reports generate automatically per site and period
  • Scheduled scraper reports reach managers before the morning meeting
  • One consistent scraper report format across the estate
Scraper Inspection App: Scraper checks signed off on paper with no proof the scraper was actually checked

Scraper checks signed off on paper with no proof the scraper was actually checked

A scraper inspection is ticked off on a paper form. Weeks later someone asks whether the scraper was actually checked, and whether worn cutting edge and bits, apron or ejector faults, hydraulic leaks, hitch or brake defects were looked at. Nobody can say for certain the scraper passed.

Problem

  • Scraper checks recorded on paper with no evidence attached
  • No way to confirm worn cutting edge and bits, apron or ejector faults, hydraulic leaks, hitch or brake defects were actually inspected
  • Scraper findings re-keyed into a spreadsheet, with errors and delay

Solution

  • One digital scraper form with required fields and validation
  • Photo, GPS, and timestamp on every scraper check
  • Scraper findings sync to the dashboard, no re-keying
Scraper Inspection App: The same scraper defect comes back every cycle

The same scraper defect comes back every cycle

Worn cutting edge and bits, apron or ejector faults, hydraulic leaks, hitch or brake defects on the scraper are fixed, then reappear weeks later. Each scraper defect is treated as fresh because nobody sees it is the third time this quarter. The scraper root cause is never addressed.

Problem

  • Repeat scraper defects treated as new every time
  • No history tying findings to the same scraper
  • Budget spent re-fixing the same scraper problem

Solution

  • Full defect history per scraper
  • Recurring issue detection flags repeat scraper problems
  • Root-cause scraper work prioritised by evidence

Frequently Asked Questions

What does Scraper Inspection App check on a scraper inspection?

Scraper Inspection App runs a structured scraper inspection covering tyres, pressure, and rim condition, bowl, apron, and ejector, cutting edge and router bits, hydraulic hoses and rams, and brakes, ROPS, and hitch. Each point is captured on mobile with a photo and a reading, and a named inspector signs the round off before it can close. The same template runs on every site, so earthworks plant operators work to one standard rather than a version that drifts between locations. Every record proves what was checked, when, and by whom, so the evidence is ready long before an assessor asks for it.

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

The inspection targets the scraper failures that matter most: worn cutting edge and bits, apron or ejector faults, hydraulic leaks, and hitch or brake defects. Left unchecked, a fault such as worn cutting edge and bits 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 plant operators 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 Scraper Inspection App support for scraper work?

Scraper Inspection App keeps scraper 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 plant operators 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 scraper checks offline and across multiple sites?

Yes. Scraper Inspection App is offline-first: teams complete scraper 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 plant operators 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 a scraper inspection was completed?

Every completed scraper inspection carries cutting edge photo, bowl and apron photo, and hitch 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 plant operators 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.
