Forklifts

Forklifts, MEWPs, Pallet Trucks: A Driver of Performance… or of Non-Compliance

Lifting equipment is everywhere on nuclear sites: forklifts, stackers, MEWPs, pallet trucks, specialised carriers…

Yet their management is too often underestimated — despite their critical role in safety, operational availability, and regulatory compliance.

Common field issues

• Equipment difficult to locate, scattered across the site with no clear assignment
• Periodic inspections not recorded (CE, statutory checks, internal maintenance…)
• Certificates missing or expired, often with a single copy “somewhere in the office”
• Unclear responsibilities: who is accountable? who is using it? where should it be?
• Time wasted locating equipment, checking condition, or proving compliance in audits

How BROLZ helps

Our solution enables simple, field-oriented management of your entire lifting fleet, tailored to the realities of nuclear operations.

Key features:

• Digital record for each unit: type, serial number, plate, acquisition date, linked documents
• Tracking of regulatory checks with automatic alerts (statutory inspections, CE, maintenance)
• Dynamic location: assigned zone, last known position, movement history
• Clear assignments: equipment linked to a user, team, zone, or project
• On-site issue reporting via app (photo, comments, follow-up)
• Full traceability of inspections, defects, maintenance, and assignments

Concrete benefits

• Move away from Excel files and paper lists
• Eliminate grey areas in responsibility
• Reduce regulatory risks (audits, inspections, unannounced checks)
• Speed up equipment turnover and availability, avoiding duplicates and downtime
• Automate periodic verification tracking
