Who is this for

The Log Loader and Forwarder Pre Start Checklist is used by log loader and forwarder operators, forestry supervisors, and plant managers in timber harvesting, plantation forestry, and sawmill operations to record daily safety inspections before commencing work. Log loaders and forwarders are complex, specialised forestry machines operating in demanding terrain with specific hazards including grapple and crane systems, ROPS and FOPS structural integrity, polycarbonate glazing and wire mesh guard condition, and high-pressure hydraulic systems that require a structured daily check before each shift. The Category A, B, and C fault severity system covers critical items including ROPS and FOPS condition, grapple, tines and pivot pins, seat belt and mounting, slew bearing and rotation, crane and grapple controls and interlocks, boom and crane cylinders, differential and brake systems, and isolation and danger tag status, alongside Category B and C items covering tyres, bogie axles, fuel systems, hydraulic tank, transfer drive oil, two-way radio, engine oil and coolant, lights, horn and beacon, windshield and cabin controls. The operator fitness and authorisation declaration and dual operator and supervisor signature fields ensure accountability at both the operator and management level for each daily inspection record.

Additional Information

The BSB 088 Log Loader Forwarder Pre-Start Checklist is used for daily log loader and forwarder inspections across Australian forestry, mining, and civil worksites. At A4 landscape with 50 duplicate carbonless sets, it uses a three category fault system to clearly communicate the severity of any defects found and the required response at each level.

The built-in writing shield keeps duplicate sets clean and legible, with the duplicate format providing operators a copy for records whilst the original remains bound for audit trails and compliance documentation.

  • Category A faults covering polycarbonate glazing and wire mesh guards, ROPS and FOPS, grapple tines and pivot pins, seat belt, fire extinguisher and first aid kit, slew bearing and rotation, crane and grapple controls and interlocks, differentials, brakes and transmission, isolation and danger tags, boom and crane cylinders, and all lines and hoses
  • Category B faults covering tyres, wheels, log nuts and stem caps, bogie axles, hydraulic tank, transfer drive oil, two way radio, front and rear axle, fuel tank, engine oil and coolant, all hoses and belts, batteries, fuel filter, water separator, lights, horn, alarm, flashing beacon, windshield, windows, doors, and gauges and controls
  • Category C faults covering steps and handholds, battery compartment, underneath machine, seat condition, wipers, mirrors, safety signs, service report and operations manual, and overall cabin interior

Frequently asked questions
Can I get budget pre start books with my company branding?

Yes. If you need documentation that reflects your company identity or includes custom inspection fields specific to your equipment or procedures, Brute Safety Products offers custom pre start books. Custom printing is produced in Perth, WA, and suits businesses that need their safety documentation aligned with their own safety management systems or client requirements. Contact the team to discuss quantities, turnaround, and artwork requirements.
How many inspections does each budget pre start book contain?

Each book contains 50 carbonless duplicate sets. Every completed inspection automatically produces two copies, one for the operator and one for site records, without carbon paper or photocopying. At one inspection per shift, a single book covers 50 shifts of documented checks. For sites running multiple machines or multiple shifts, ordering in bulk or setting up a trade account keeps costs down and ensures you never run short.
What is the difference between the budget and premium pre start books?

The main difference is the binding. The budget pre start books use a taped spine, while the premium range uses a spiral bound spine that allows the book to lie completely flat when open. Both contain 50 NCR carbonless duplicate sets, include a writing shield, and cover the same inspection points for their respective equipment. The budget books are a practical, cost effective option for high volume sites, businesses managing large fleets, or anywhere you need reliable WHS compliant documentation without the additional cost of spiral binding.
Are the budget pre start books suitable for high volume or multi site operations?

Yes, the budget range is particularly well suited to high volume sites, large equipment fleets, and businesses operating across multiple locations. The lower price point makes it practical to keep adequate stock on hand without significant cost, and the range covers enough equipment types to suit most Australian worksites from a single supplier. Trade accounts and bulk pricing are available for businesses with ongoing requirements.
Are the budget pre start books still compliant with Australian WHS requirements?

Yes. The budget pre start books meet the same documentation requirements as the premium range. They provide a clear, signed duplicate record of each inspection, which is what Australian WHS legislation requires. The difference is in the binding and price point, not in the compliance value. For most sites and equipment types, a taped spine book completed thoroughly every shift is every bit as valid as a more expensive alternative.
