Inspection Essentials

What is a Post-Trip Inspection?

Post-trip inspections are daily checks performed by operators after each shift to assess compactor condition, identify wear, and ensure safety and compliance for the next operation.

These inspections complement pre-trip inspections, focusing on wear patterns and operational issues to inform maintenance planning and prevent failures.
