A line truck or aerial work platform sitting idle at a substation costs more than the repair on the invoice — it costs the crew that cannot start a scheduled outage window, and the penalty clause that kicks in when restoration takes longer than promised. Indian T&D utility fleets running line trucks, AWPs, cable-drum vehicles, and transformer carriers often lose that vehicle to something preventable — an expired fitness document, a missed PM interval, or a pre-trip check that got signed without being read. HVI tracks PM schedules, compliance documents, and inspections together for every vehicle in the fleet, so downtime from a preventable cause becomes the exception rather than the norm, and you can see it mapped to your own fleet in a free 30-minute session.

Keep Every Power Line Maintenance Vehicle Compliant and Ready

PM scheduling, document compliance, and inspection management for line trucks, aerial work platforms, cable-drum vehicles, and transformer carriers, tracked together so a preventable gap never takes a vehicle off the road.

What Actually Keeps Utility Vehicles Off the Road

Expired Fitness or Insurance Document

Missed PM Interval

Pre-Trip Check Signed Without Being Read

Repair Done but Never Logged

Coverage for Every T&D Vehicle Type

Line Trucks
Bucket and boom inspection tied to PM intervals, with document renewals tracked alongside.
Aerial Work Platforms
Platform, hydraulics, and safety interlocks checked on a schedule matched to actual usage hours.
Cable-Drum Vehicles
Drum brake, winch, and mounting checks logged against each vehicle's own service record.
Transformer Carriers
Load-bearing and trailer compliance tracked separately from the towing vehicle's own documents.

Stop Losing Vehicles to Preventable Gaps

Bring PM schedules, compliance documents, and inspections together for your entire T&D fleet.

One Record for Three Compliance Needs

PM Scheduling | Document Compliance | Inspection Management

Instead of three separate registers, each utility vehicle carries one record that fleet managers, site engineers, and auditors all read from directly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can HVI track PM schedules based on actual usage hours, not just calendar dates?

Yes. PM intervals can be set against engine hours, kilometres, or a fixed calendar schedule, whichever fits how a given vehicle type is actually used. You can review this setup on a call with our team.

Does this cover trailer-mounted equipment like transformer carriers separately?

Yes. Trailer and load-bearing compliance is tracked separately from the towing vehicle, so both sets of documents stay current on their own schedules.

What happens when a document is close to expiry?

An alert surfaces ahead of the expiry date, giving enough time to renew before the vehicle is affected.

Can field crews complete inspections from a remote site with no signal?

Yes. Inspections complete offline at remote sites and sync automatically once signal returns, so remote line work is never blocked by connectivity.

How quickly can our utility fleet get set up?

Most utility fleets have their first vehicles tracked within hours of setup. Start with a free trial to load your fleet.
