Straddle Carrier Audit App turns straddle carrier audits into a scored, repeatable programme. Auditors score each straddle carrier against weighted criteria, attach photo evidence, and track corrective actions to verified closure across every site. Managers compare straddle carrier audit scores across sites and track every corrective action to closure.
Straddle Carrier Audit App runs a scored straddle carrier audit covering spreader, twistlocks, and guides, hoist ropes or chains and reeving, tyres, wheels, and steering, brakes and stability systems, and engine, hydraulics, and hoses, with a photo and a sign-off required on each point. Without a system, straddle carrier findings live on paper and in chat. A straddle carrier fault such as twistlock or spreader faults slips through. An audit then means rebuilding straddle carrier evidence from folders.
Straddle Carrier Audit App keeps one record per straddle carrier and per site, with photo evidence and a named sign-off. Each straddle carrier finding is tracked to verified closure. Port and terminal operators see straddle carrier completion and overdue actions across the transport, logistics & warehousing portfolio. Every straddle carrier record proves what was checked, when, and by whom.
What to Include in a Straddle Carrier Audit App?
A comprehensive straddle carrier audit covers the key areas that affect operations and compliance. Audit straddle carrier operations with structured scoring, photo evidence, and corrective action tracking. Your audit should include sections for spreader, twistlocks, and guides; hoist ropes or chains and reeving; and tyres, wheels, and steering, 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 Straddle Carrier Audit App
A scored audit only helps if every auditor scores the same way. Follow these steps to run a straddle carrier audit:
Open the straddle carrier audit template, which carries weighted criteria and a scoring scheme.
Score each straddle carrier against the criteria and attach photo evidence for any non-conformance.
Let the app calculate the section and overall straddle carrier score so the site is comparable to others.
Raise a corrective action for each failed straddle carrier criterion with an owner and due date.
Sign off the straddle carrier audit. The scorecard and branded report generate automatically.
What Does a Straddle Carrier Audit Cover?
A straddle carrier audit scores condition against LOLER thorough examination and PUWER, checking spreader, twistlocks, and guides, hoist ropes or chains and reeving, tyres, wheels, and steering, brakes and stability systems, engine, hydraulics, and hoses, and cab access, visibility, and horn. Each straddle carrier finding is logged with a photo, a severity, and the failing point. So the straddle carrier audit becomes a traceable evidence pack, not an ageing spreadsheet.

What Straddle Carrier Teams Fix When Audits Are Scored the Same Way Everywhere
Straddle Carrier work breaks down the moment evidence leaves the form. These are the problems Straddle Carrier Audit App is built to remove, and what the team gets back when it does.
Straddle Carrier 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 straddle carrier. The straddle carrier issue is logged, not closed.
Problem
Failed straddle carrier items noted but never assigned to anyone
No due date on a straddle carrier fix, so nothing is ever overdue
The straddle carrier fix is marked done with no proof it happened
Solution
Every failed straddle carrier item becomes an owned corrective action
Closure needs a straddle carrier verification photo before sign-off
Overdue actions escalate automatically
Straddle Carrier data is scattered across spreadsheets, photos, and chat
Some straddle carrier records sit in Excel, some in a WhatsApp group, some in a folder of photos. There is no single source of truth for the straddle carrier, so every straddle carrier question takes an hour and three people to answer.
Problem
Straddle Carrier records split across Excel, chat, and photo folders
No single trusted version of the straddle carrier record
Answering a simple straddle carrier question takes hours
Solution
One system of record for every straddle carrier check and finding
Every straddle carrier photo and action tied to its record
Search any site or straddle carrier and get an answer instantly
Every auditor scores the straddle carrier audit differently, so sites cannot be compared
One auditor is strict, another is lenient, and a third skips sections. The straddle carrier audit scores come back, but leadership cannot tell whether a low score means a weak site or a tough auditor.
Problem
Straddle Carrier scoring depends on which auditor showed up
Straddle carrier sections get skipped with no record
Straddle Carrier scores are not comparable across sites
Solution
Weighted straddle carrier criteria baked into the audit template
Mandatory straddle carrier sections, so nothing is skipped
Comparable straddle carrier scores that roll up across the estate
Frequently Asked Questions
What does Straddle Carrier Audit App check on a straddle carrier audit?
Straddle Carrier Audit App runs a scored straddle carrier audit against LOLER thorough examination and PUWER, checking spreader, twistlocks, and guides, hoist ropes or chains and reeving, tyres, wheels, and steering, brakes and stability systems, and engine, hydraulics, and hoses. 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 port and terminal operators 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 straddle carrier defects matter most, and what happens if they are missed?
The audit targets the straddle carrier failures that matter most: twistlock or spreader faults, hoist rope or chain wear, tyre or steering defects, and brake performance loss. Left unchecked, a fault such as twistlock or spreader faults 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 port and terminal 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 Straddle Carrier Audit App support for straddle carrier work?
Straddle Carrier Audit App keeps straddle carrier checks aligned to LOLER thorough examination and PUWER. 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, port and terminal 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 straddle carrier checks offline and across multiple sites?
Yes. Straddle Carrier Audit App is offline-first: teams complete straddle carrier 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 port and terminal 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 straddle carrier audit was completed?
Every completed straddle carrier audit carries spreader photo, hoist rope photo, and brake 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, port and terminal 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.
