Winding Gear (Hoist) Audit App turns winding gear (hoist) audits into a scored, repeatable programme. Auditors score each winding gear (hoist) against weighted criteria, attach photo evidence, and track corrective actions to verified closure across every site. Managers compare winding gear (hoist) audit scores across sites and track every corrective action to closure.
Winding Gear (Hoist) Audit App runs a scored winding gear audit covering drum, brakes, and brake linkage, winding ropes and rope attachments, depth indicator and overwind protection, clutch and gearing, and safety circuits and interlocks, with a photo and a sign-off required on each point. Without a system, winding gear findings live on paper and in chat. A winding gear fault such as brake performance loss slips through. An audit then means rebuilding winding gear evidence from folders.
Winding Gear (Hoist) Audit App keeps one record per winding gear and per site, with photo evidence and a named sign-off. Each winding gear finding is tracked to verified closure. Winding and shaft engineers see winding gear completion and overdue actions across the mining portfolio. Every winding gear record proves what was checked, when, and by whom.
What to Include in a Winding Gear (Hoist) Audit App?
A comprehensive winding gear audit covers the key areas that affect operations and compliance. Audit winding gear and hoist operations with weighted scoring, photo evidence, and corrective action tracking. Your audit should include sections for drum, brakes, and brake linkage; winding ropes and rope attachments; and depth indicator and overwind protection, 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 Winding Gear (Hoist) Audit App
A scored audit only helps if every auditor scores the same way. Follow these steps to run a winding gear (hoist) audit:
Open the winding gear (hoist) audit template, which carries weighted criteria and a scoring scheme.
Score each winding gear (hoist) against the criteria and attach photo evidence for any non-conformance.
Let the app calculate the section and overall winding gear (hoist) score so the site is comparable to others.
Raise a corrective action for each failed winding gear (hoist) criterion with an owner and due date.
Sign off the winding gear (hoist) audit. The scorecard and branded report generate automatically.
What Does a Winding Gear Audit Cover?
A winding gear audit scores condition against DGMS winding regulations and statutory rope examination, checking drum, brakes, and brake linkage, winding ropes and rope attachments, depth indicator and overwind protection, clutch and gearing, safety circuits and interlocks, and lubrication and bearing condition. Each winding gear finding is logged with a photo, a severity, and the failing point. So the winding gear audit becomes a traceable evidence pack, not an ageing spreadsheet.

What Winding Gear (Hoist) Teams Fix When Audits Are Scored the Same Way Everywhere
Winding Gear (Hoist) work breaks down the moment evidence leaves the form. These are the problems Winding Gear (Hoist) Audit App is built to remove, and what the team gets back when it does.
Every auditor scores the winding gear (hoist) audit differently, so sites cannot be compared
One auditor is strict, another is lenient, and a third skips sections. The winding gear (hoist) audit scores come back, but leadership cannot tell whether a low score means a weak site or a tough auditor.
Problem
Winding Gear (Hoist) scoring depends on which auditor showed up
Winding gear (hoist) sections get skipped with no record
Winding Gear (Hoist) scores are not comparable across sites
Solution
Weighted winding gear (hoist) criteria baked into the audit template
Mandatory winding gear (hoist) sections, so nothing is skipped
Comparable winding gear (hoist) scores that roll up across the estate
Winding Gear (Hoist) issues get logged, then quietly forgotten
A failed item is noted during a routine audit. Nobody owns it, no date is set, and the next audit finds the same problem on the same winding gear (hoist). The winding gear (hoist) issue is logged, not closed.
Problem
Failed winding gear (hoist) items noted but never assigned to anyone
No due date on a winding gear (hoist) fix, so nothing is ever overdue
The winding gear (hoist) fix is marked done with no proof it happened
Solution
Every failed winding gear (hoist) item becomes an owned corrective action
Closure needs a winding gear (hoist) verification photo before sign-off
Overdue actions escalate automatically
The winding gear (hoist) report is still being assembled by hand
Someone spends Friday afternoon collecting winding gear (hoist) photos, notes, and audit records into a report. By the time leadership reads it, the winding gear (hoist) data is days old and the next problem is already live.
Problem
Winding Gear (Hoist) reports compiled by hand from photos and notes
Leadership reads winding gear (hoist) data that is already days old
Every winding gear (hoist) report looks slightly different
Solution
Branded winding gear (hoist) reports generate automatically per site and period
Scheduled winding gear (hoist) reports reach managers before the morning meeting
One consistent winding gear (hoist) report format across the estate
Frequently Asked Questions
What does Winding Gear (Hoist) Audit App check on a winding gear audit?
Winding Gear (Hoist) Audit App runs a scored winding gear audit against DGMS winding regulations and statutory rope examination, checking drum, brakes, and brake linkage, winding ropes and rope attachments, depth indicator and overwind protection, clutch and gearing, and safety circuits and interlocks. 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 winding and shaft engineers 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 winding gear defects matter most, and what happens if they are missed?
The audit targets the winding gear failures that matter most: brake performance loss, rope wear beyond discard criteria, overwind protection failure, and clutch or gearing faults. Left unchecked, a fault such as brake performance loss 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 winding and shaft engineers 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 Winding Gear (Hoist) Audit App support for winding gear work?
Winding Gear (Hoist) Audit App keeps winding gear checks aligned to DGMS winding regulations and statutory rope examination. 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, winding and shaft engineers 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 winding gear checks offline and across multiple sites?
Yes. Winding Gear (Hoist) Audit App is offline-first: teams complete winding gear 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 winding and shaft engineers 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 winding gear audit was completed?
Every completed winding gear audit carries rope condition photo, brake test record, and overwind test note, a GPS location, a timestamp, and a named sign-off. Because the evidence is captured during the round rather than typed up afterwards, winding and shaft engineers 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.
