It is recommended that all aerial work platforms be inspected prior to being sold, leased, or rented. Completing the Pre-delivery Inspection, or PDI ensures that the machine has been tested and inspected for proper and safe operation prior to being put into service, and that the unit has no worn or missing parts and is not damaged. Skyjack furnishes forms to assist in the completion the PDI inspection. These forms are available in the Forms Library. There is a form for the vertical mast/electric powered scissors and engine powered scissor lifts, as well as for the telescoping and articulating boomlifts. These PDI inspection sheets help you comply with the inspection requirements.
When a new unit is being put into service for the initial rental or sale, use of the Pre-delivery Inspection is very important. It documents completion of the final inspection before the unit is put into service for the first time. The Pre-delivery Inspection also serves as the owner’s verification of the condition of the machine at the start of the warranty period. Skyjack uses the date of the PDI as the warranty start date. Any problems identified are reported on the inspection sheet and can be corrected, under warranty, before the unit is put into service.
