Fleet Service & Maintenance
Stop Breakdowns Before They Happen
Hour-based or date-based service reminders, full maintenance history per asset, and mobile photo logging — built for UK plant hire, construction, agriculture and logistics.
Reactive Maintenance Is Killing Your Margins
Waiting for something to break before servicing it costs 3–5× more than planned maintenance. For plant machinery, HGVs and agricultural equipment running thousands of hours a year, missed service intervals mean unexpected downtime, failed inspections and costly emergency repairs.
Unplanned Breakdowns
Emergency repairs often cost 3–5× planned maintenance. A single excavator breakdown on a job site can delay an entire project.
Missed Service Intervals
Spreadsheets and memory are unreliable across a growing fleet. Services get forgotten — especially when machines move between sites.
No Maintenance History
Without records, you can't prove due diligence for warranty claims, insurance disputes, or resale value negotiations.

Set Service Intervals Per Asset
Define service schedules per machine: every 250 hours, every 500 hours, or date-based (e.g., annual). Enter the last service date/hours and FleetBolt calculates when it's next due.
Get Reminders Before It's Due
Dashboard highlights machines approaching their service interval in amber, and overdue ones in red. Managers see everything at a glance — no more diary reminders or spreadsheet trawling.
Log Services & Build History
Record every service with clock reading, cost, notes and up to 3 photos. FleetBolt auto-updates the next due date and builds a full timestamped history for every asset.
Why UK Plant & Fleet Operators Choose FleetBolt

Date-Based Scheduling Too
For vehicles on fixed annual services, or seasonal machinery — set calendar-based reminders with 30-day advance warnings.
Full Maintenance History Per Asset
Every service, repair, oil change or inspection is logged with date, cost, notes and photos — building a complete timeline for each machine.
Warranty & Resale Protection
Documented service history protects warranty claims, supports insurance disputes, and increases resale value — especially for high-value plant.

Common Maintenance Scheduling Questions
Can I set service reminders based on machine hours rather than dates?
Yes — this is one of FleetBolt's core features. Set the service interval in hours (e.g., every 250 hours), enter the current clock reading when adding the machine, and FleetBolt tells you when it's due based on logged hours.
What types of maintenance can I log?
Anything — scheduled services, oil changes, filter replacements, tyre changes, repairs, breakdowns, inspections, modifications. Each event type is tracked separately with its own history timeline.
Can operators log services from the field?
Yes — seat users (operators, drivers) can log maintenance events from their mobile device, upload photos, and add notes. The account owner sees everything in real time.
Does FleetBolt work for both plant machinery and vehicles?
Yes — it covers any motorised asset: excavators, telehandlers, tractors, forklifts, HGVs, vans, trailers, generators, compressors and more.
Can I export maintenance records?
Yes — maintenance history can be exported to CSV for reporting to insurers, clients or compliance officers. PDF reports are also available.
