100% Digital Paperwork

A Complete Digital Compliance Suite

We’ve digitized every piece of paperwork your operators, slingers, and appointed persons need on-site. Fully modular, toggle on exactly what each project requires.

CPA Pre-Use Checks

Dynamic daily and weekly digital checklists for mobile, crawler, and tower cranes, complete with maintenance logs and supervisor sign-offs.

Lifting Gear Register

Track shackles, chains, and slings. Operators perform daily visual checks (Pass/Fail) with automated 30-day expiry alerts sent to the AP.

Digital Timesheets

Operators log actual vs. paid hours directly on their phone. Site Managers review, sign, and bulk-approve weekly hours instantly.

Downtime Logs

Protect your revenue. Track precise weather delays or breakdowns, complete with reasons and manager authorization.

Safety Critical Lifts

Mandate photographic evidence for complex operations (e.g. tandem lifts) using our secure in-app live camera, backed by supervisor signatures.

Out of Service Logs

End-of-shift accountability. Capture timestamped photographic proof that the crane is parked in free-slew according to manufacturer specs.

RAMS & Lift Plans

Upload your method statements directly to the app. Force operators to read and digitally sign the acknowledgement before they can access the site.

Toolbox Talks

Upload safety inductions and toolbox talks. Our app creates an automated, digital queue forcing workers to sign off before starting work.

48-Hour Opt-Outs

Ensure Working Time Regulations compliance with built-in, legally binding digital opt-out agreements for long-shift operators.
