Boom Lift and Aerial Equipment Operators, Are Your Inspection Records Actually Compliant?

Paper inspection forms get lost. Spreadsheets get forgotten, and when an OSHA inspector or insurance auditor shows up on your job site "we have it somewhere" is not an answer.

🪏 Aerial Work Platform Inspections — JLG, Genie, and major OEMs. Digital checklist, signed by the technician, locked once complete. No editing after the fact.

If you are running Thermo King or Carrier units, or servicing fleets of them, stop diagnosing alarm codes from memory or a paper manual, there is a better way.

Here is what HD Suite brings to your operation:
○ Re**er Alarm Codes — Full TK and Carrier alarm code database. Type the code, get the fault, get the fix. No more guessing.
○ 960+ OEM Parts — Thermo King and Carrier part numbers with unit fitment. Find what you need from your phone before you even open the toolbox.

○ EPA 608 Log — Digital refrigerant handling records that meet EPA Section 608 requirements. No more paper logs during an audit.
○ Attach all re**er PM sheets to work orders for easy tracking. Multi point re**er check list for every type unit.
○Professional Invoicing — Parts and labor breakdown with automatic markup, cost of goods tracking, and QuickBooks export.

Starting at $49/month. No contracts. Cancel anytime.

Built for the tech who actually turns wrenches — not the guy who built software from an office in San Francisco.

Found the right problem the first time.

2005 Honda Pilot, making noise in the rear when turning and accelerating. Most techs would jump straight to CV axles. I ran it through National Wrench Index QuickWrench first.
It identified the exact issue, gave me the correct torque specs and fluid type, and walked me through the repair step by step. From VIN scan to paid invoice in under 5 minutes.
That's the difference when your diagnostic tool is built by someone who actually turns wrenches.

Why Shop Software Never Feels Right in a Service Truck

You've felt it. You open some shop management app on your phone between jobs, and something's off. Buttons too small for a thumb with grease on it. A workflow that wants you to click through four screens for something that should take one. A layout built for a big desktop monitor, shrunk down and hoping nobody notices.

That's because it was never built for you. It was built for a service writer sitting at a desk with two hands free and eight hours to enter tickets. Somebody bolted a mobile version on top of that afterward and called it done.

You're not sitting at a desk. You're standing between a bumper and a fence, one hand on the phone, trying to get a quote out before you forget the number you just calculated in your head. Every extra tap is a tap you don't have time for.

National Wrench Index wasn't adapted for mobile. It was built for mobile, by a guy who spent seventeen years standing exactly where you're standing right now. VIN decode, spec lookup, quote, sent, in the time it takes most shop software to load the home screen.

What a Mechanic Can Tell About Your Car Before They Even Knock

You already know the moment. You pull up, pop the hood, and start playing twenty questions. What year is this? What trim? Does it have the turbo or the base motor? Then you're on the phone with the parts store describing a car instead of quoting one.

That's fifteen minutes gone before you've touched a single bolt.

Run the VIN through National Wrench Index software when you hit the driveway, and none of that happens. Exact year, engine, trim, no guessing. Open recalls show up automatically, so you're not the guy who missed one and got blamed for it later.
If it's a repeat customer, their whole service history is sitting there, what you replaced, when, what's coming due next.

You knock on the door already knowing more about that car than most shops would after an hour on the lift. That's not a small edge. That's the difference between showing up to figure it out and showing up to fix it.

Full Suite with QuickWrench. $99/mo, first 100 subscribers.

What Changes When the Wrench Comes to You Instead!

The car problem doesn't change. The engine light means the same thing whether it's fixed in a bay or in your driveway. What changes is everything around it.

You don't lose the morning arranging a ride. You don't sit in a lobby watching a TV bolted to the wall, waiting for someone to walk out and say "it's ready." You don't have to explain your work schedule to a service writer or take a half day off just to hand over your keys. The repair happens while you're doing whatever you were already going to do, working from the kitchen table, mowing the yard, getting the kids ready for school.
Your car gets fixed. Your day doesn't get hijacked to make it happen.

That's not a smaller version of a shop visit. It's a different relationship with the whole idea of car trouble. A dead battery stops being an emergency that derails your morning and starts being a phone call. A weird noise stops being something you put off for three weeks because you can't find the time to deal with it, and starts being something you mention on a Tuesday and forget about by Wednesday.

The wrench doing the work is the same wrench. What changes is that your life doesn't have to stop for it to happen.
