Perimeter & Bodywork Inspection Protocol
The exterior envelope of a commercial vehicle serves as both its primary structural shield and its external company representation. Our visual exterior inspection module records the condition of every accessible outer component to identify scratches, dents, misalignment, and compromised seals.
Key Visual Inspection Points
- Body Panels & Trim: Checking front/rear bumpers, side panels, wing mirrors, wheel arches, and bonnet alignment for impact marks, bends, or missing trim pieces.
- Glazing & Mirrors: Reviewing windscreens, passenger windows, rear glass, and mirror surfaces for stone chips, cracks, delamination, or reduced optical clarity.
- Door & Access Mechanisms: Verifying hinge operation, external latch condition, cargo bay rear and sliding door closure security, and perimeter rubber seals.
- Roof & Fixed Mounts: Examining roof panels, integrated ladder racks, ventilation cowls, and aerial mounts for secure physical placement.
Standardized Logging for Dutch Transport Fleets
Fleet operators in Drenthe face frequent moisture exposure and high-frequency cargo access. Documenting external defects ensures your internal maintenance log clearly reflects when and where exterior degradation happened.
