Telehandler and plant hire branding checklist

Telehandlers and other plant that lift need the same split as any lifting machine: a thorough examination and a written report, plus whatever checks you run between those examinations.

Titan does not carry out thorough examinations. A label shows the dates and wording you supply. It does not replace the written report.

Examination, not just branding

HSE describes a thorough examination as a systematic and detailed examination by a competent person, followed by a written report containing the Schedule 1 information. Regulation 9 sets the in-service intervals unless an examination scheme applies: at least every 6 months for equipment that lifts people and for lifting accessories, and at least every 12 months for other lifting equipment, plus each time exceptional circumstances could jeopardise safety.

Branding sits on top of that. A name panel tells the site whose machine it is. It does not set the next date and it does not record a defect. Keep date labels readable and keep them off the manufacturer’s plates.

Between examinations

HSE says users may need daily checks on lift trucks, and that inspections between thorough examinations may be needed so wear is found in time. Those checks are set by risk assessment and the manufacturer’s recommendations. They do not replace the competent person’s report. A name panel and a date label can sit on the same machine if neither covers the other. When a report changes the date, order a new date label rather than writing over the old one.

A practical order

List the machines, the panel size, and whether you want a date label, a fleet number, or your name. Send one art file for the name, not a different logo on every email. If a report changes a date, order a new date label rather than writing over the old one in pen. Catalogue stickers that are in stock can dispatch the same day. Custom panels are quoted.
