Start free — no credit cardA preventive maintenance checklist is a structured list of tasks performed on equipment at regular intervals to prevent breakdowns and extend equipment life. It typically covers inspection, lubrication, adjustment, cleaning, and testing tasks.
Start with the OEM manual for manufacturer-recommended tasks and intervals. Add tasks based on your past failure history. Organize by frequency (daily, weekly, monthly). Assign each task to a responsible technician. Review and update the checklist quarterly based on what is and isn’t catching issues.
Preventive maintenance is time-based (done every 30 days, every 500 hours). Predictive maintenance is condition-based (done when a sensor reading or vibration analysis indicates wear). Most SMB teams start with preventive and add predictive elements as they mature.
A CMMS like Maintoro turns your PM checklist into a scheduled recurring task. Technicians receive automatic reminders, complete checklists on mobile, and every completion is logged with timestamp and technician name — creating a compliance-ready audit trail automatically.
