Capture authenticated photos and videos of mobile cranes, EWPs, scissor lifts, and telehandlers at handover. Resolve damage and compliance disputes with tamper-proof records sealed at the point of hire.
Crane and access equipment hirers face unique exposure: equipment arrives on site with existing damage history, operators need working-condition proof, and hires must comply with maintenance logs and SWL documentation. When disputes arise over condition, liability hinges on defensible evidence.
Without sealed photos and videos at handover, it becomes impossible to prove what damage existed before the hire period began. Customers can claim pre-existing damage; hirers struggle to defend themselves without authenticated visual records.
Mobile cranes, EWPs, and scissor lifts require certified 10-year inspection records and load-test documentation. Photo and video evidence tied to logbook entries creates an auditable chain proving maintenance compliance at the moment of hire.
When disputes involve operator error or spotting failure, sealed video evidence of equipment condition and operational state at hire and return becomes critical. Authenticated walk-around recordings clarify what the hirer received and returned.
Customers may dispute whether equipment was within Safe Working Load limits or operationally fit for the task. Sealed photos and videos documenting load condition, stabiliser position, and equipment state protect against false claims of overloading or negligence.
Most hire agreements rely on paper checklists or unverified digital snapshots that lack cryptographic sealing. Without immutable timestamps and SHA-512 hashing, either party can dispute when photos were taken or whether they show actual condition at handover.
Operator walkarounds, dogman inspections, and spotter sign-offs happen separately from visual documentation. Without linked, sealed photo and video evidence, the sequence of inspections and the actual equipment state remain disconnected and contestable.
Logbooks record 10-year tests, load tests, and routine servicing, but they are not visually verified at hire. Sealed photos and videos tied to logbook timestamps close this gap, proving the equipment was logged as serviceable and looked correct at the moment it left the yard.
Damage discovered weeks or months after return is hard to attribute without contemporaneous evidence. Sealed video and photo records created at return handover establish exactly what condition the hirer received back, preventing retroactive damage claims.
Access equipment regulation (including EWP pre-use checks and mobile crane load-test proof) requires documented evidence trails. Unsealed photos do not satisfy audit or insurance requirements; sealed, certified records with immutable timestamps fulfil regulatory and claims-handling obligations.
PackProof captures sealed photos and videos at every critical handover moment—hire, return, inspection, and compliance check. Each image and video is cryptographically sealed with SHA-512 hashing and immutable timestamps, creating legally defensible, audit-ready evidence.
Capture sealed photos and videos documenting mobile crane boom angle, stabiliser position, EWP platform state, scissor-lift scissor alignment, telehandler load capacity, and overall structural condition. Immutable timestamps prove exactly when handover occurred, eliminating post-hire condition disputes.
Pair sealed photos and videos with logbook entries showing 10-year inspection dates, load-test certificates, and servicing sign-offs. Authenticated visual records tied to compliance timestamps provide auditors and insurers with a complete, tamper-proof chain of custody for regulatory proof.
Sealed walk-around videos recorded during pre-use checks and return inspections document equipment state and operator responsibility. Cryptographically certified footage protects dogmen and spotters by proving they inspected correctly and return what they hired; it equally protects hirers against false operator-negligence claims.
Sealed photos of load-plate positioning, stabiliser placement, and outrigger extension create irrefutable proof that equipment was set up within Safe Working Load limits. These authenticated visual records resolve disputes over overloading and protect against liability claims based on operator error.
At the yard, before release, have the operator or dogman photograph and video-record the mobile crane, EWP, scissor lift, or telehandler from multiple angles—boom angle, stabilisers, platform condition, load-test plates, and overall structural state. PackProof seals each photo and video immediately with SHA-512 hashing and immutable timestamp, creating cryptographically certified evidence the equipment was in good condition at hire.
Attach sealed photos and videos to the logbook entries showing the 10-year inspection date, load-test certification, and routine servicing sign-off. This creates an auditable chain: the logbook says the crane is certified; the sealed visual records prove it looked correct at handover. Compliance auditors and insurers see a complete, tamper-proof trail.
On return, capture authenticated photos and videos of the equipment in identical positions and angles as the pre-hire walkaround. Record any visible wear, damage, or changes in condition. PackProof seals these images and video footage with cryptographic hashing, creating indisputable evidence of what the hirer received back and in what state.
If a customer disputes pre-existing damage, SWL compliance, or operator negligence, retrieve the sealed photos and videos from PackProof and share them with the customer, insurer, or regulator. The immutable timestamp and SHA-512 certification prove authenticity; the visual record is legally defensible and instantly resolves who is liable.
