Racking, trucks and PPE — checked, logged, evidenced.
Track racking inspections, forklifts, pallet trucks, loading equipment, PPE, fire safety and staff training in one place — built for small and mid-sized warehouses.
- Racking inspection rounds
- Forklift & pallet truck checks
- Loading equipment
- PPE issue & inspection
- Fire safety & alarm tests
- Operator licences & training
Racking inspections with photo evidence
Walk the warehouse, log damage with photos against the right racking run, and keep a clean history per run.
Daily pre-use checks for trucks
Operators run a short pre-use check from a phone, log defects with photos, and the truck status flips if it's not safe.
Operator licences that won't lapse
FLT and lifting licences per person, with reminders well before expiry, so nobody is sent home mid-shift.
Built for small and mid-sized warehouses
Warehouses live and die on a few unglamorous routines — racking inspections, truck pre-use checks, PPE issue, fire safety walks and operator licence renewals. Most small operations carry it on a clipboard and a spreadsheet, with one or two people quietly holding it all together.
Who this is for
- Small and mid-sized warehouses and DCs
- 3PLs running a single site or a small group
- Manufacturers with on-site warehousing
- E-commerce fulfilment operations
Common assets, checks and records
- Racking: per-run inspection, damage logs, repair history, annual external inspection report.
- Forklifts and pallet trucks: pre-use checks, service intervals, thorough examination dates.
- Loading equipment: dock levellers, gates, shutters with service records.
- PPE: hi-vis, gloves, boots, harnesses where used — issue records and inspection.
- Fire safety: extinguishers, alarms, emergency lighting, fire doors, sprinkler systems.
- Lifting accessories: slings, chains, eye bolts with LOLER inspection records.
- Operator licences: FLT, MEWP, lifting and first aid per person.
- Contractor and supplier documents: insurance, RAMS, service contracts.
What usually goes wrong
- Racking damage gets reported on a radio and never logged
- Pre-use check sheets pile up on a clipboard and never get reviewed
- Thorough examination dates for lifting equipment drift past due
- FLT licence expires mid-shift and an operator is stood down
- Fire extinguisher monthly visual happens "most months"
- An audit triggers a frantic Friday of evidence gathering
How Ample Control helps
Every racking run, truck, accessory and operator becomes its own page with history and reminders. Pre-use checks and racking walks run on a phone with photos. See asset tracking and compliance checklists.
A simple daily and monthly workflow
- Each shift: truck pre-use checks; defects logged with photos.
- Each week: racking walk, fire alarm test log, faults review.
- Each month: fire extinguisher visual, PPE inspection, dock equipment check.
- Each quarter: internal racking inspection round, training refresh review.
- Each year: external racking inspection, LOLER, thorough examinations, insurance renewal.
Example records to track

- Sling #5 — LOLER 6-monthly, last inspection report attached
- Dock leveller #1 — service annual, last fault logged with photo

Where QR codes help
QR tags on trucks, racking ends, dock equipment and fire safety items let anyone scan and log a check or defect from a phone. See QR codes.
Where document storage helps
Thorough examination reports, racking inspection reports, RAMS, insurance and training certificates live against the asset or person they relate to. See document storage.
Where team roles help
Site manager sees everything. Supervisors see their area. Operators see their truck and their checks. Contractors get restricted access for a single report. See team roles.

Frequently asked questions
Quick answers about how this works in Ample Control.
Can we track racking inspection rounds properly?+
Yes. Each racking run is an asset with photos, last inspection, damage notes and the next inspection date. Defects logged from a phone with photos appear straight on the dashboard.
Does this cover forklifts and pallet trucks?+
Yes. Each truck is its own asset with daily pre-use checks, service intervals, LOLER for lifting accessories, and operator licences linked.
Can operators run pre-use checks without admin access?+
Yes. Technician role lets operators run their pre-use check and log defects without seeing everything else.
What about FLT operator licences?+
Tracked per person with their own expiry dates and reminders. We don't issue or verify them — that stays with awarding bodies.
Does this guarantee PUWER or LOLER compliance?+
No. PUWER, LOLER and SEMA-style inspection rules stay with duty holders and competent inspectors. We help you track checks, log defects and store reports.
