Handover Inspection for Compactors

For maintenance managers, handover inspections ensure seamless transitions between operators, verifying compactor safety and condition to minimize downtime and maintain compliance in waste management operations.

Seamless Handovers

Ensure compactor readiness and safety during operator transitions.

Inspection Essentials

What is a Handover Inspection?

Handover inspections are conducted during operator shift changes to verify compactor condition, ensuring safety, functionality, and compliance before the next shift begins.

These inspections bridge pre-trip and post-trip inspections, focusing on critical systems to maintain operational continuity and prevent unexpected failures.
