Davies Workshop Equip. Manager

Davies Workshop Equipment Manager is a professional digital workshop safety, inspection and equipment management platform designed for automotive workshops, service centres and multi-site businesses.

Built around the practical requirements of workshop equipment inspections, the app provides a structured way to manage vehicle hoists and other workshop equipment, complete inspections, record defects and maintain a clear digital history of inspection activity.

Vehicle hoists are safety-critical equipment. Davies Workshop Manager helps workshops establish consistent inspection and record-keeping processes aligned with manufacturer requirements and relevant Australian Standards, including AS 1418.9:2024 for vehicle hoists and AS 2550.9:2024 for the safe use of vehicle hoists.

The app provides a centralised equipment register and allows users to capture important equipment information such as equipment identification, serial numbers and safe working load (SWL), then complete structured inspection checklists against individual items of equipment.

Workshop teams can use Davies Workshop Manager to:
• Complete daily and routine vehicle hoist inspections
• Record inspection date, inspector and inspection results
• Capture pass/fail outcomes and identify items requiring attention
• Record defects, damage, wear and other safety concerns
• Take and attach photographs to document equipment condition and defects
• Record corrective actions and maintenance requirements
• Maintain an accessible digital history of inspection activity
• Manage equipment information including identification, serial numbers and SWL
• Support consistent inspection procedures across workshops and multiple equipment categories
• Help identify issues earlier and reduce avoidable equipment downtime
• Provide a clearer record for workshop management, servicing and maintenance activities

The platform is designed to extend beyond vehicle hoists, providing a broader framework for managing workshop equipment, safety inspections and maintenance requirements. This makes it suitable for businesses looking to bring more of their workshop equipment inspection processes into one organised digital system.

Davies Workshop Manager does not replace manufacturer instructions, statutory requirements, competent-person inspections, servicing, testing or other obligations that may apply to specific equipment or workplaces. Completing an inspection checklist does not, by itself, constitute certification that equipment complies with an Australian Standard. The app is designed to support the inspection, documentation and management processes that workshops use as part of their equipment safety program.

Developed by Davies Automotive Equipment, a specialist in automotive workshop equipment, installation, servicing and maintenance, Davies Workshop Manager brings practical workshop knowledge into a modern digital workflow.

From the daily inspection of a vehicle hoist to recording a defect, attaching photographic evidence, assigning corrective action and maintaining an ongoing equipment history, Davies Workshop Manager helps workshops manage safety and equipment more consistently, efficiently and professionally.
