What’s more fun than crawling under a bus to inspect for leaking fluids, worn-out parts, or damage to the chassis? Crawling under an entire fleet of buses! Or delivery vans, moving trucks, taxis, or countless other fleets of vehicles.
Fleet maintenance involves a lot of repetitive checks across dozens of vehicles. That means crawling under each vehicle, looking for any issues, then climbing back out and doing it again. All the crawling is hard on your body! It’s a dirty, repetitive job that takes a lot of time to do right. But what if you had a tool that meant you didn’t have to climb under each vehicle yourself?
Compact inspection robots provide a simple and easy method of performing under-vehicle inspections. Their small size and mobile design allow these robots to fit under most vehicles without a problem. That means workers don’t have to crawl under every vehicle during a maintenance check!
Less crawling means less pain, less risk, and (hopefully) a happier inspector!
Doing a chassis inspection using a robot like the 4-wheel drive GPK also reduces the time it takes to get the work done. Normally you’re having to crawl under each vehicle or drive it over a mechanic’s pit to perform your inspection. With a compact robot, you eliminate those factors! Instead of getting under the vehicle yourself, you just have to drive your robot under and use your camera feed to check for issues.
Using a robot also allows workers to make a record of any issues found using the robot’s camera. Because CYA is the most important acronym no matter what industry you’re in. Always document your findings!
So why wouldn’t you use an inspection robot to help with your maintenance checks? It makes the job faster, lowers the risk of long-term injury, and helps document any findings along the way. Using a robot is a cost-effective solution to a problem that most people don’t even take the time to think about!
