01What is the main risk at a loading bay?
A vehicle moving while a forklift is driving in or out of the trailer (drive-away or creep). Restraints, signals and holding keys or air lines prevent it.
02How often should bays be checked?
Many sites check at the start of each shift and record faults straight away.
03Can I list every bay separately?
Yes. Add a section per bay, or fill in the bay numbers and note faults per bay.
04Is it free?
Yes. Fill it in online and download it as a PDF, Excel or PNG, 3 reports a day, with no sign-up, and you can add your logo. Pro adds photos, your signature, premium designs and unlimited reports.
