Before and After Inspectly360
What changes once de-icing vehicle inspection software runs on one mobile-first platform with photo proof and live dashboards.
Before Inspectly360
- The operator signs a paper card that confirms nothing and is filed in a folder nobody reads.
- Tank levels and heater function are eyeballed and forgotten before the rig leaves the pad.
- A worn boom hydraulic, a damaged basket rail, or a blocked nozzle is noticed only when spraying fails.
- The ramp manager calls each shift to learn which rigs are unserviceable before the next frost event.
- Walkaround cards are searched by hand when an ISAGO auditor asks for de-icing rig inspection records.
After Inspectly360
- Each pre-use check is logged on mobile against the de-icing rig with photo evidence and a named operator.
- Type I and Type IV tank levels and heater status are recorded against the rig with a reading and photo.
- Boom controls, basket condition, and nozzle and spray-pattern checks are recorded each shift against the asset.
- A live dashboard shows pre-use status, open defects, and grounded rigs across the de-icing fleet.
- A scoped, timestamped evidence pack exports per rig for the auditor in minutes.
What Is De-Icing Vehicle Inspection Software, and How Do Ramp and GSE Teams Use It Across a Rig Fleet?
De-icing vehicle inspection software is the platform GSE technicians, ramp operations managers, and de-icing operators use to run daily pre-use field checks on airport de-icing rigs and keep defensible records across the fleet. Inspectly360 digitises pre-use checks on fluid tank levels and heaters, nozzle and boom controls, the basket, the refractometer, fluid concentration and temperature, the spray pattern, and the forced-air system in one record aligned to IATA AHM and IATA IGOM.
Today the pre-use walkaround is a paper card the operator signs at the start of shift, the tank level and heater are a quick glance, and the proof a rig was inspected is a folder in the GSE workshop. When a de-icing rig rolls out with a low Type I tank, a heater that will not hold fluid temperature, a damaged basket rail, or a nozzle that throws a poor spray pattern, nobody sees it until a frost event when the rig is needed and cannot perform. Across a busy season every operator completes the card a little differently, so the ramp manager cannot compare serviceability across rigs.
Inspectly360 replaces that with mobile capture on iOS and Android: operators complete the pre-use check against the QR-tagged rig, record tank levels, heater status, boom and basket condition, nozzle and spray-pattern results, and capture a photo of any leak or damage. Findings route to a tracked defect with owner and deadline, planned-maintenance clocks raise alerts before service intervals fall due, and a branded evidence pack exports per rig when ISAGO or a safety auditor asks.
How Does a De-Icing Vehicle Pre-Use Check Run from the Pad to the Defect Record?
GSE and ramp teams follow this loop for daily pre-use de-icing rig checks, defect routing, and serviceability review.
- 1
Tag Every De-Icing Rig by Fleet Number
Assign QR identity to each de-icing vehicle so the rig carries its own pre-use history, defects, and service intervals.
- 2
Run the Daily Pre-Use Field Check
Operators confirm fluid tank levels, heater, nozzle and boom controls, basket, refractometer, and forced-air on mobile, capturing a photo of any leak or damage.
- 3
Record Fluid and Spray Checks
Type I and Type IV fluid levels, concentration, temperature, and the spray pattern are recorded against the rig with values and photos.
- 4
Raise Defects on the Spot
A failed heater, a worn boom hydraulic, or a blocked nozzle becomes a tracked defect routed to GSE maintenance with severity and location.
- 5
Close Defects and Export Evidence
Findings close with verified sign-off, and a branded evidence pack exports per rig for ISAGO or a safety auditor.
How Should Ground Handlers Pilot Digital De-Icing Rig Inspections Before Fleet Rollout?
Answers to common long-tail questions, kept on one canonical page to avoid thin duplicate URLs.
Pilot on One Rig Type
Start with a single rig type such as your open-basket de-icers so the pre-use template, defect routing, and service clocks are validated against real fleet numbers before rollout to enclosed-cab rigs and other bases.
Access and Roles
De-icing operators get pre-use capture only, GSE technicians get defect and service sign-off, and the ramp manager gets read access to the full evidence trail per rig through role-based access.
Which Capabilities Help Teams Track De-Icing Rig Tanks, Heaters, and Boom Checks Consistently?
The platform capabilities that power de-icing vehicle inspection software across every site.
Daily Pre-use Field Check Capture
Operators complete the de-icing rig check against the unit in minutes on mobile. Why it matters: a pre-use defect found on the pad prevents a rig failing during a frost event when it is needed most.
Fluid Tank and Heater Checks
Type I and Type IV tank levels and heater status are recorded with a reading and photo. Why it matters: a low tank or a heater that cannot hold fluid temperature leaves an aircraft without effective de-icing.
Boom, Basket, and Nozzle Condition
Boom controls, basket condition, fall-protection points, and nozzle and spray-pattern results are recorded each shift. Why it matters: a worn boom hydraulic or a poor spray pattern is both a safety and a performance failure near the aircraft.
Refractometer and Concentration Check
The refractometer Brix reading and fluid concentration and temperature are captured against the rig. Why it matters: an out-of-spec concentration undermines holdover time and the protection the de-icing was meant to provide.
Fleet Serviceability Dashboard
Pre-use status, open defects, and grounded rigs roll up across fleet numbers. Why it matters: the ramp manager sees serviceability before a frost event without calling each shift.
Per-rig Evidence Export
A branded de-icing rig records pack exports per fleet number for the auditor. Why it matters: an ISAGO request becomes a minutes-long export, not a folder search.

Frequently Asked Questions About De-Icing Vehicle Inspection Software
How does de-icing vehicle inspection software handle the daily pre-use check?
Each de-icing rig is tagged by fleet number, and the operator scans it at the start of shift to open the correct pre-use field check. They confirm fluid tank levels, heater function, nozzle and boom controls, basket condition, the refractometer, the forced-air system, and the spray pattern, capturing a photo of any leak or damage. The check takes minutes and records the named operator, the time, and the rig. Any failed item becomes a tracked defect routed to GSE maintenance before the rig leaves the pad. This replaces the paper card that confirms nothing and gives the ramp manager proof, per rig, that the pre-use check actually happened before a frost event.
Can operators and technicians use the same system with different access?
Yes. De-icing operators get a pre-use capture role: they complete the field check, log defects, and submit on iOS or Android in minutes. GSE technicians get defect and service sign-off, so a fault raised at the pad routes to the workshop with photo, severity, and location. The ramp operations manager gets read access to the full evidence trail per rig. Because the check is scoped to the rig and the operator, the record shows exactly who inspected what and when. A defect logged on the pad is visible to maintenance immediately, rather than mentioned verbally and forgotten before the next shift, which matters when a rig is needed at short notice for a frost event.
Does the platform work offline on the pad and in the workshop?
Yes. Capture works fully offline on iOS and Android, which matters on the de-icing pad, in the GSE workshop, and at remote stands where signal is weak. Operators complete pre-use field checks and technicians close defects with photos while offline, and records sync automatically once the device reconnects. Nothing is lost if a check is done in a dead spot in poor winter weather, and the timestamp reflects when the work was done, not when it synced. This keeps the de-icing rig evidence trail accurate for the ramp manager and for an ISAGO auditor reviewing serviceability across the fleet.
How does it record fluid concentration and the refractometer check?
The pre-use check captures the refractometer Brix reading, the fluid concentration, and the fluid temperature against the rig as recorded values, not just a tick. Because Type I and Type IV fluids must be applied at the right concentration and temperature to deliver the intended holdover time, the value field makes the reading visible and reviewable rather than a verbal judgement. A reading outside the expected range flags for action before the rig sprays an aircraft. The history of these readings stays on the rig record, so a recurring concentration drift on one unit is visible to the technician and the manager rather than lost across separate paper cards.
How does it track boom, basket, and nozzle faults on a de-icing rig?
Boom controls, basket condition and rails, fall-protection points, and nozzle and spray-pattern function are explicit items on the pre-use check. When an operator records a worn boom hydraulic, a damaged basket rail, or a blocked nozzle that throws a poor pattern, it becomes a tracked defect against the rig with a photo, severity, and the failed item named. The defect carries an owner and a deadline and stays open until a technician verifies the fix. Because these faults are both a safety risk in the basket near the aircraft and a reason the rig cannot de-ice effectively, routing them immediately closes the gap where a known fault quietly stays in service across several shifts.
What evidence can we produce for an ISAGO audit?
Every pre-use check, fluid reading, defect, and closure is stored with a timestamp, the named operator, and photo evidence against the specific fleet number. When an ISAGO auditor asks for de-icing rig inspection records, you export a scoped, branded evidence pack per rig covering the audit window in minutes. The trail shows daily pre-use checks, tank and heater status, refractometer and concentration readings, boom and basket condition, and the closure of any defect with verified sign-off. This replaces the search-the-folder routine that walkaround cards force, and the evidence is consistent across every shift and base in the operation, which matters when several handlers share one de-icing pad.
