Pre-Shipment Inspection for Drill Rigs and Mining Scalers
The inspection should prove the exact configuration, move the agreed systems safely, reconcile tooling and documents, and record transport preparation.

Freeze the inspection basis
Use the signed technical agreement, released model data, reach or work-envelope drawing, tooling and auxiliary list, inspection checklist, document index, packing plan, and deviation log.
| Area | Evidence |
|---|---|
| Identity | Manufacturer, model, serial, engine or electrical identity, order line, labels |
| Dimensions | Operating and transport dimensions, weight records, clearance and lifting points |
| Carrier | Tracks, travel, steering, brakes, leveling, stabilizers, access and guarding |
| Working system | Mast or boom movements, head or breaker, clamps, hydraulics, controls, limits |
| Auxiliaries | Compressor, pump, flushing, dust or water system, tools, rods, bits, spares |
| Documents and shipment | Drawings, manuals, parts list, records, packing, marks, loading photos |
Define a safe function-test basis
Agree the test area, power or fuel, permissible movements, no-load or limited-load basis, personnel, exclusion zone, video angles, and acceptance criteria before inspection.
