If you are looking for Equipment Inspection Forms, you have come to the right place.
With Field Eagle, you have access to this checklist, amongst hundreds of others. You can also build your own templates, forms, checklists and more.
A heavy equipment pre-shift inspection checklist is used to verify that excavators, bulldozers, graders, loaders, haul trucks, and other heavy mobile equipment are safe and operational before each work shift begins.
To use this checklist, the equipment operator should complete a walkaround inspection of the equipment before starting the engine and before each shift. The inspection covers external condition, safety devices, fluid levels, controls and instruments, and all safety-critical systems. Any deficiencies found during the inspection must be reported to the supervisor. Equipment with safety-critical defects must be removed from service until repaired. The completed checklist should be signed by the operator and retained as a maintenance and compliance record.
Pre-shift equipment inspections are required by MSHA for all mining equipment and by OSHA for many construction and industrial equipment types. This checklist provides a structured framework for operators to conduct and document these mandatory pre-shift inspections, creating the records that demonstrate equipment was verified safe before each shift and supporting a defensible equipment maintenance and safety management program.
Field Eagle is the best way to conduct your inspections and improve your asset management operations. Field Eagle allows you to conduct all of your inspections faster and more accurately than ever before, and build historical data that can help you predict future trends to plan maintenance or purchasing decisions with more accuracy.
Unlike paper checklists or basic spreadsheets, Field Eagle connects every inspection finding directly to the asset it relates to, triggers corrective actions automatically, and builds a longitudinal condition history across every inspection cycle. AI Preventative Maintenance then analyses that accumulated history to predict failures before they happen.

Field Eagle is a tablet-based field inspection and asset management software platform built for industrial operations in oil and gas, mining, construction, utilities, and manufacturing. Field Eagle replaces paper checklists with structured digital inspection workflows that connect findings to asset records, compliance documentation, and corrective action systems.
The heavy equipment pre-shift inspection checklist addresses MSHA 30 CFR 56.14100 and 57.14100 pre-shift inspection requirements for mining equipment, OSHA 29 CFR 1926 Subpart O for construction equipment, and manufacturer-specified pre-operation inspection requirements. MSHA requires that defects affecting safety be corrected before equipment is operated.
Yes. Every Field Eagle checklist and template is fully customizable. Add or remove inspection points, configure mandatory fields, add conditional logic, set required photo capture points, and adjust scoring criteria to match your specific equipment, site conditions, and regulatory requirements.
Yes. Field Eagle runs on tablets and operates fully offline. Your inspection teams complete checklists at remote sites, underground operations, offshore platforms, and any location without connectivity. All data syncs automatically when connectivity is restored.
Heavy equipment failures during operation are among the most serious incident types in mining, construction, and industrial operations. A pre-shift inspection checklist ensures every safety-critical system is verified before the equipment is put into service, creates the documented records that MSHA and OSHA require to demonstrate pre-shift inspection compliance, and identifies developing defects before they become failures that injure operators or damage equipment.
