HGV 12 Week Maintenance Inspections.

Your preventative maintenance programme for each vehicle should be thorough, regular and frequent enough to meet the manufacturer's guidelines and that the vehicle, if used on a road, is safe and roadworthy.

Preventative maintenance doesn’t mean simply getting a bus, truck or trailer into the workshop and fixing what you see or doing a service on the vehicle.  It means being on the look-out for things that might go wrong with the vehicle so that risks do not occur as a result of the deterioration or failure of a component or safety system on the vehicle. It is systematic detection, correction and prevention of failures before they become actual or major faults in contrast to corrective maintenance.

HGV 12 Week Maintenance Inspections includes:

• Examination of underbody

• Checking of suspension components

• Steering system functions

• Visual check of powertrain condition

• Cab, interior and exterior.

• Vehicle bodywork

• Lighting and Electrical systems

• Presented weight roller brake test.

• RSA Compliant record keeping with an emailed report.
