--- title: A Book For Every Thing description: The Checker offers books for over 100 different types of inspections. image: https://www.thechecker.net/hubfs/images/Images/books-2547179_1280.jpg --- [![the-checker-grey-300](https://www.thechecker.net/hubfs/the-checker-grey-300.png) ](https://www.thechecker.net/) [ Login ](https://store.thechecker.net/login.php) [ GET A DEMO ](https://www.thechecker.net/demo) 2 min read ## [A Book For Every Thing](https://www.thechecker.net/stories/blog/a-book-for-every-thing) by [Shawn Macpherson](https://www.thechecker.net/stories/blog/author/shawn-macpherson) ![books-2547179_1280.jpg](https://www.thechecker.net/hubfs/images/Images/books-2547179_1280.jpg) ![books-2547179_1280.jpg](https://www.thechecker.net/hs-fs/hubfs/images/Images/books-2547179_1280.jpg?width=1024&name=books-2547179_1280.jpg "books-2547179_1280.jpg")  One day while visiting a customer, we asked if [The Checker inspection checklist books](https://www.thechecker.net/inspection-solutions/inspection-books) were helping them with their inspections. They didn’t know what we were talking about. We explained that they’ve been ordering our checklist books for crane inspections for some time. “Oh, the crane books,” our host said. “Sure, we love those. They work great.” That conversation caused us to wonder: How many of our customers are using our books to inspect only their cranes, forklifts, trucks, etc. and don’t know they could use our books to inspect any asset in their organization? We understand why customers might not realize how many ways our inspection checklists can be used. After all, one of the strengths of [The Checker](https://www.thechecker.net/inspection-solutions/inspection-books) compared to other checklist-book providers is that each of our books contains a checklist that’s specific to what’s being inspected. Even though each book has the same easy-to-use format, the detail in each checklist is different based on the equipment, vehicle, or other asset being inspected. So, I can see why our customer came to think of The Checker as “crane books” only—we clearly made our crane checklists for the sole purpose of inspecting cranes. I just want to make sure that our current and future customers realize that our books’ specificity doesn’t mean that we’re limited. We have [more than a hundred books](https://store.thechecker.net/index.php?cPath=7_17&hsCtaTracking=e02c3dce-5979-48af-bc81-558f8b5949ed%7Cbc610e1e-0a23-4c0b-9700-ef2dc5fc606d), each designed for a specific type of inspection, and we can create customized books if necessary. Is there anything in your organization that you’re inspecting without using The Checker? If you like the preciseness and efficiencies of The Checker for what you’re already using it for, why not take advantage of The Checker for everything you inspect? Even if you only need one type of inspection book in your role, there may be other areas of your organization—different departments, divisions, locations, etc.—that could benefit. You might also have strategic partners who would appreciate learning about how The Checker can help them. We don’t mind being called the “crane book” because we believe we’re the best provider of crane inspection checklists. We just want you to know that we can help with inspections other than cranes, or any other single asset—not because our checklists are generic but because we took the time to develop multiple checklists that are each specific to exactly what needs inspecting.
