Your Commercial Fleet Maintenance Checklist
There are a range of things to cover when it comes to fleet maintenance, which is why we’ve created this checklist! It’s important to not to miss any important maintenance. Maintaining your fleet will help to maximise efficiency in a range of ways, as well as keeping an eye on your vehicles for safety reasons.
Exterior Inspection
An exterior inspection should be the first thing on your checklist. You should look out for any visible signs of damage or wear and tear that might need to be repaired. From wipers to the windshield to your hub caps, give everything a good check!
Fluid Checks
Check and top up any fluids, like windshield fluid, oil and coolant as necessary in your vehicles. When checking your oil levels, use a dip-stick to carefully check the oil level and fill it up to the right amount.
Tires
Checking your tires is absolutely vital, as punctures or unfilled tires can be extremely risky. They can lead to accidents on the road, so definitely stay on top of your tire condition and tire pressure at all times.
Brakes
Brake tests are another crucial part of commercial fleet maintenance. Definitely inspect your brakes for signs of wear or severe damage. Your brakes should be in good condition otherwise this can pose a serious risk on the roads.
Steering & Suspension
Your steering and suspension can be tested much like your brakes, by driving your vehicle and seeing if you suspect any damage. If you’re worried about your brakes, steering or suspension, definitely take your vehicle to your local garage for a check.
HVAC
Your HVAC systems should be up and running properly, and if there’s an issue with your heating or A/C, you should definitely have this looked at before using the vehicle, especially in colder/hotter months.
Safety Equipment
Safety equipment like fire extinguishers and first-aid kits might be a staple in your vehicles, so ensuring that all equipment is secure and up to date is another crucial part of your routine check.
