About the Aerial lift annual inspection form

Aerial lifts come with strict safety regulations, including required annual inspections. This aerial lift annual inspection form gives you an organized way to document the condition of key components like hydraulic systems and safety devices. Whether you’re managing a fleet or overseeing workplace compliance, this template helps you meet regulatory requirements, streamline inspections, and keep detailed maintenance records—all in one place.

A step-by-step guide to using the aerial lift annual inspection form

With this form, you have a clear structure to follow for reviewing critical components. Here’s how to use it effectively:

  1. Customize the form for your needs. Before using the template, tailor it to match your specific equipment and inspection criteria. You can add fields for unique safety protocols, company-specific requirements, or additional inspection points based on your fleet and industry regulations.
  2. Conduct a thorough visual inspection. Start by checking the structural components—boom, turntable, outriggers, and welds—for cracks, dents, or wear. Inspect all pivot points and ensure they are properly lubricated. A detailed visual check can reveal early signs of damage before they lead to sudden failures.
  3. Test all safety devices and controls. Confirm that platform guardrails are secure, emergency stop buttons function, and tilt/level alarms are responsive. Test both ground and platform controls to verify they operate correctly. Safety features must be in top condition before the lift is put to use.
  4. Check hydraulic and electrical systems. Look for leaks in hydraulic hoses and fittings, confirm the oil level is sufficient, and inspect electrical wiring for damage. A well-maintained hydraulic system ensures smooth operation, while intact wiring prevents unexpected malfunctions.
  5. Log and analyze inspection results. After completing the checklist, document any defects or maintenance needs. This record helps you track recurring issues, plan repairs, and stay compliant with industry regulations.

Best practices for using the aerial lift annual inspection form

A thorough inspection process allows you to identify potential issues before they compromise safety or lead to costly downtime.

First, use a consistent method for inspections. Make sure you cover critical components in an established workflow, with structural checks as well as assessing safety devices and hydraulic and electrical systems. This makes it easier to compare reports over time and spot recurring issues.

Log minor issues before they escalate into major failures. A small hydraulic leak or a slightly loose bolt may not seem urgent, but over time, these minor problems can lead to breakdowns or safety hazards. Document everything, even if they don’t need immediate action.

Make sure to document repairs and follow up on them. When an issue is flagged on the form, you can assign a clear follow-up action on Lumiform, whether it’s immediate servicing or continued monitoring.

Frequently asked questions

What are the most common issues found during an aerial lift inspection?

Some of the most common issues include hydraulic leaks, worn-out hoses, loose or damaged electrical wiring, malfunctioning safety controls, and structural cracks or weld failures. Rust and corrosion can also weaken key components over time.

Who is qualified to perform an aerial lift annual inspection?

A competent person with specialized training and experience in lift maintenance and safety regulations should conduct the inspection. This could be an in-house mechanic, a certified technician, or a third-party inspector familiar with OSHA and ANSI standards.

What happens if an aerial lift fails an inspection?

If a lift fails an inspection, take it out of service immediately until you’ve completed all necessary repairs. Document any defects, with a qualified technician then conducting maintenance. In some cases, you might need a follow-up inspection before putting the lift back in use.
