HGV Maintenance

The effective inspection, repair and servicing of your HGV fleet is of critical importance to all Operator Licence holders. As a fleet operator, you must put in place effective systems to ensure that your vehicles and trailers are roadworthy.

Roadworthiness means - complying with the appropriate vehicle construction, road safety, environmental and operating standards required by UK law.

Maintaining an HGV is a very different proposition to maintaining a car or a van and careful consideration should be given to the systems and procedures you will use to maintain a roadworthy fleet.

There are many articles on the subject of HGV maintenance. Some of the most helpful information is published by the DVSA and UK Government as follows:
