ZOOMLION Launches New Digital Inspection Model for Rental Equipment | PDI System
June 26,2026
For aerial work platform rental companies, each time equipment is transferred, an inspection, handover, and responsibility confirmation must be conducted.
These seemingly routine management processes directly affect equipment turnover efficiency, maintenance costs, construction guarantees, and asset security.
In June, at the seventh Zoomlion Science and Technology Innovation Conference themed "AI Leads Innovation, Striving for Global Strength," Zoomlion Intelligent High Machinery officially launched the PDI (Pre-Delivery Inspection) digital inspection system, providing standardized, digital inspection tools for equipment storage, rental handover, regular maintenance, and exit re-inspection.
Currently, the system has been tested by multiple batches of customers in markets such as Europe and Southeast Asia and has completed phased verification in actual equipment inspection and handover scenarios.
Saying Goodbye to Manual Quality Inspection, the Inspection Process is Fully Documented
In the equipment rental scenario, aerial work platforms have a high frequency of equipment transfer and numerous handover links, where quality inspection has always been a management challenge. Previously, almost all inspections relied on the service team's experience for manual checks, with different inspection standards for each person, leading to potential omissions and perfunctory inspections; paper documents are also prone to loss and damage. If equipment fails later or if there is a cross-site handover accountability issue, there are no complete records to check, and once a dispute arises, the rental party often finds it difficult to provide evidence.
The PDI digital inspection system integrates equipment inspection items, operating procedures, and result records into digital management, achieving full standardization and traceability of the inspection process. Inspectors only need a tablet terminal, scan the code to establish a data connection with the equipment, follow the system's guidance to complete all working condition inspections according to the standard process, and automatically generate an unalterable standard inspection report after the inspection is completed. Even if the network at the construction site or warehouse is poor, offline inspection is also supported, adapting to various domestic and overseas site conditions; unified inspection standards are globally applicable, easily coping with safety inspections and compliance filings in various locations, and completely clarifying the confusion in equipment management.
Five Key Inspection Modules to Safeguard Equipment Safety
Zoomlion Intelligent High Machinery's PDI digital inspection system is tailored to the actual transfer scenarios of rental equipment, dividing into five professional inspection modules, covering key processes such as equipment storage acceptance, rental handover, regular maintenance, and exit re-inspection, helping rental companies to safeguard equipment safety.
Structural Visual Inspection
Inspectors follow the PDI system's guidance to check key components such as equipment pipelines and screws one by one, with the system marking high-risk positions prone to problems in advance, eliminating the need to rely on experience to search blindly, easily identifying hidden issues such as looseness and wear, and preventing equipment from leaving the warehouse with potential safety hazards.
Complete Machine Functional Performance Inspection
On-site practical operation of equipment lifting, boom extension, and other common movements, visually inspecting the equipment's operating speed and smoothness of movement, ensuring the equipment's overall working condition is intact, and it can be directly put into construction upon leaving the warehouse without the need for secondary repair.
Ground Control Working Condition Test
Complete a full-function test at the ground control station, checking each button's sensitivity and equipment response speed, identifying control failure and action stutter issues in advance, eliminating the scenario where equipment is found to be faulty only upon arrival at the construction site, thus wasting construction time.
Platform Control Working Condition Test
Switch to the aerial work platform to re-inspect the control functions again, verifying both ground and high-altitude scenarios, ensuring stable equipment operation whether the operator is working on the ground or on the platform, avoiding high-altitude operation risks.
Safety Protection Special Inspection
Simulate real dangerous scenarios such as overloading and slope driving on construction sites, testing whether the equipment's safety protection devices trigger normally, safeguarding the safety baseline of aerial work, and easily passing various safety inspections.
Cost Reduction and Efficiency Increase are Visible, Equipment Management is Worry-Free and Compliant
Compared to the traditional manual quality inspection model, this PDI digital system can bring intuitive operational benefits to rental companies. Customer test data shows that the overall equipment inspection efficiency has increased
