No card needed · Unlimited machines on the free plan
Two fleets, usually two sets of paperwork
Road vehicles run to dates and weeks. Yard plant runs to hours. Most systems only handle one of them.
Inspections come round fast
A lorry on six-weekly safety inspections is due again almost as soon as the last sheet is filed. Each one counts down in the list and moves on when you record it.
Yard plant takes a hammering
Shovels and handlers work long hours in dust and get serviced on the clock. FleetBolt counts each machine down from its own reading.
Defect books get lost in cabs
A defect written on a pad doesn't reach the workshop. One raised in FleetBolt stays open against the vehicle, with a photo, until it's marked fixed.
What FleetBolt does for a waste and recycling business
Dates for lorries, hours for plant
MOT, tax, insurance, LOLER and safety inspections by date, services by hours or miles, and your own dates such as tachograph calibration. Overdue items sit at the top.
How it works Checks: ProWalk-round checks on a phone
Drivers and operators do the daily check on their phone. A failed critical item raises a defect and can mark the vehicle Do not use until it's repaired.
How it worksA record for every vehicle and machine
Each one with its fleet number, registration or serial number, photos, readings and full history of inspections and repairs. Sold and scrapped ones keep their records.
How it works ProFuel by vehicle and machine
Log fills and bulk tank deliveries and see what each lorry and each machine is using.
How it worksWhat each one really costs
Cost per hour or per km from your own figures, next to what you actually spent on repairs and fuel. Useful when a machine is costing more to keep than to replace.
How it worksLess typing
Photograph a plate and Fleet AI fills in the machine. Photograph a garage or dealer invoice and it drafts the job, with the cost, for you to check.
How it worksThe dates and checks worth keeping on top of
What usually needs tracking across a waste fleet and a recycling yard, and how FleetBolt handles each. Your operator's licence, insurer or examiner may ask for more.
- Lorry safety inspectionsAt the interval on your operator's licence, often every 6 weeks
- Set the interval in weeks on each lorry. Record the inspection and the next one is worked out for you.
- Annual test, tax and insuranceYearly
- Per vehicle. Insurance can be one fleet policy that covers everything not set to its own.
- Tachograph calibrationEvery 2 years
- Add it as one of the lorry's own dates. You get the same warnings as for the built-in dates.
- LOLER thorough examinationAt least every 12 months; 6 for lifting accessories such as skip chains
- For skip loader lifting gear, material handlers, telehandlers and forklifts. Choose 6 or 12 months on each machine.
- Daily walk-round checksBefore use
- Your own checklists for lorries and for plant, done on a phone and signed off. Failures become defects against the vehicle.
- Servicing yard plantBy engine hours
- Shovels, handlers, shredders and balers each count down from the reading at their last service.
FleetBolt keeps the dates and the records. It doesn't carry out or replace a safety inspection or thorough examination, which must be done by a competent person, and it isn't legal advice.
Built on a working recycling site
We run lorries, loading shovels, tractors and recycling kit on our own site. Spreadsheets couldn't keep up with what was due and which part fitted what, so we built the tool we couldn't find, and we use it every day.
