Inspection Details

Enter the inspector's name and confirm they are authorized or trained to perform the lift inspection.
Record the lift ID, bay number, or asset tag so the inspection can be traced to a specific unit.
Confirm the inspection is being performed using the lift manufacturer's instructions or site SOP.

Pre-Use Area and Safety Readiness

Walk the lift perimeter and verify the approach, swing area, and under-lift area are free of tools, parts, spills, and trip hazards.
Check for cracked concrete, excessive oil accumulation, or other floor conditions that could affect lift stability.
Verify safety decals, load rating labels, and operating instructions are present and readable.
Confirm the posted capacity is visible and appropriate for the vehicles expected to be lifted.
Verify control stations are unobstructed and reachable before operation.

Visual Condition and Component Inspection

Inspect primary and secondary locking devices for proper engagement, alignment, and visible damage.
Verify the lock release functions without binding, sticking, or delayed response.
Inspect cylinders, hoses, fittings, and power unit for drips, seepage, wet spots, or pooled fluid.
Check for fraying, corrosion, broken strands, elongation, improper routing, or uneven tension.
Inspect lifting arms, rubber pads, adapters, and vehicle contact points for cracks, wear, deformation, or missing parts.

Operational Function Check

Cycle the lift through a normal operating range and listen for grinding, popping, jerking, or other unusual sounds.
Verify the lift holds position at the test height and does not settle, tilt, or drift.
Confirm the locks remain engaged and functional during the operational check.
Verify the up, down, and release functions respond as intended and return to neutral when released.
Confirm any travel limits, stops, or secondary restraint devices operate as designed.

Deficiencies, Corrective Actions, and Sign-Off

Record any defect, non-conformance, or critical item failure with enough detail to identify the affected component and location.
If any critical item failed, confirm the lift was tagged out and not used until repaired and released by a competent person.
Document the repair request, responsible person or department, and target completion date.
Confirm review of any deficiencies and approval to return the lift to service when applicable.
