The plant pre-start check app
for excavators and earthmoving machinery
DiggerSafe replaces paper pre-start sheets with a 2-minute digital check on your phone. GPS-stamped, time-stamped, with a PDF report in one tap and a QR sticker for every machine.
Paper pre-start sheets get lost, wet and forgotten
A missed check or a lost form leaves you with nothing to show.
Lost paperwork
Paper forms get wet, lost, or left in the cab. When a customer or hirer asks whether a machine was checked, you have nothing to show them.
No clear record
A tick on paper doesn't show when or where the check was done. A digital record with a timestamp and location does.
Missed servicing
Without tracking hour meters, machines run past their service intervals, which leads to breakdowns and downtime.
The Solution
Everything you need for plant pre-start checks. Nothing you don't.
Structured Pre-Start Inspections
Walk-around, cabin and operational checks in a simple, step-by-step format. Items you fail are flagged on the machine so everyone can see it needs attention.
GPS + Auto Timestamp
Every inspection is recorded with its location and time when you submit it, so you have a clear record of when and where each check was done.
QR Sticker for Every Machine
Print a sticker for each machine and stick it on. Operators scan it and the right checklist opens straight away, with no app install and no login.
Hour Meter & Service Tracking
Track hour meters and see when machines are due for oil changes, greasing or major services, so servicing doesn't slip.
Service History & Logs
Complete maintenance records for every machine, such as oil changes, track adjustments and hydraulic services, all in one place with timestamps.
Instant PDF Reports
Generate a professional inspection report with one tap. Share it with customers, insurers or auditors straight from your phone.
Cloud Backup
Back up your records to the cloud and restore them on a new phone. Records also save on your phone and sync when you're back online.

Pre-start check app questions
What is a pre-start check?
A pre-start check is a walk-around and function check an operator does on a machine before starting work, to spot faults and hazards. DiggerSafe gives you a structured digital version you complete on your phone.
Does DiggerSafe replace my legal obligations?
No. DiggerSafe is a record-keeping tool. Always follow the manufacturer's manual, your site rules and the workplace health and safety laws that apply to you.
What machines can I add?
You can add any plant machine to your fleet, such as excavators, loaders, skid steers and tippers, then print a QR sticker for each one.
Do my operators need to install the app?
No. Operators scan the QR sticker on the machine and complete the check in their phone's browser, with no app install and no login.
Does DiggerSafe work offline?
Records save on your phone and sync to the cloud when you are back online.
