Compliance software built for a hire centre.

Your gear goes out, not your crew. A hire centre doesn't write a SWMS for how the hirer will use a machine, so Deadset's hire package skips it. What it keeps is what's actually yours to track: the logbook, the defects, and the service and risk-assessment record for every unit on the yard.

Built for small plant and equipment hire businesses in Australia.

What's in the hire package.

It has everything a hire centre needs to keep a defensible record on gear going out the door, without the parts of Deadset that belong to the business actually doing the work on site.

Digital logbook

Every machine gets its own QR code and prestart, on the hirer's phone.

  • Scan the machine's QR label, no app to install
  • Daily prestart with a drawn signature
  • Hour meter reading recorded with every check
  • Operator's manual kept on the machine's own page

Service schedules and history

Keep the maintenance record a hire centre is actually responsible for, per machine.

  • Interval-based service schedule per machine
  • Warns before a service is overdue, not after
  • Full service history kept against the machine
  • Due-soon, current and overdue statuses at a glance

Risk-assessment slots, no SWMS

A blank upload slot per machine type for your own risk-assessment document. No SWMS, because a hire centre doesn't carry out the work and shouldn't be writing the method statement for it.

  • Upload your own risk assessment per machine type
  • Kept with the machine, ready to show on request
  • No SWMS section: that stays with the hirer's business
  • Defect tracking keeps unsafe gear off the next job

Built for what goes out the gate.

A record that holds up when a hired machine is questioned, without paperwork that isn't yours to keep.

  • No app for the hirer

    They scan the machine's QR code and the prestart starts. No account, no download.

  • A defect stops the job

    A critical defect takes the machine out of service until it's cleared.

  • Service history that warns

    Interval-based schedules flag a service before it's overdue.

  • No SWMS to maintain

    The hire package leaves the SWMS out entirely: it's not your document to write.
