Haubot Inspect

Haubot Inspect is an independent inspection service. A specialist goes to the asset, examines it in its actual location and condition, collects photographic and video evidence, and compiles a structured condition report. It exists for the gap between what a listing claims and what an asset physically is.

It is not tied to the Haubot platform — you can commission an inspection for an asset and a deal that have nothing to do with Haubot.

What it produces

The deliverable is a structured condition report: an asset condition baseline that buyers, lenders, insurers and internal review teams can act on. It typically covers asset identification, a system-by-system account of observations, visible wear and damage, defects and irregularities, operational observations where testing was possible, documentation notes, photo and video references, risk-relevant findings, a condition summary, and — importantly — a clear statement of what was inaccessible and what limitations applied.

What it covers

Scope is agreed in advance and matched to the asset — a parked aircraft, a port crane and an earthmoving machine do not share one checklist. Common areas include identity and documentation, structural and physical condition, mechanical/hydraulic/electrical and (where applicable) propulsion, avionics or marine systems, operational checks where safe and feasible, and storage condition.

It spans many sectors: aviation, marine and offshore, energy and power generation, industrial machinery, transport and logistics, material handling, agriculture and forestry, construction and mining, and specialized or institutional assets.

What it is not

This matters as much as what it is. Haubot Inspect:

• Does not issue a pass/fail verdict — the report records condition; the decision stays with you.
• Does not certify legal ownership or title.
• Does not certify airworthiness, seaworthiness, roadworthiness or regulatory compliance, and does not replace official regulatory inspection.
• Does not act as a broker, and is not compensated on the deal outcome.
• Does not guarantee the absence of hidden defects, and does not inspect inaccessible areas unless access is provided.

When to use it

Before a decision becomes hard to undo: pre-purchase, pre-sale disclosure, auction due diligence, financing or leasing review, insurance support, fleet audits, post-transport condition records, and dispute clarification. The earlier in the process, the more room there is to act on what the inspection finds.

How it connects to the other services

An inspection result can become a formal release condition inside SecureTrade — funds release only once the agreed inspection evidence is in. It can also be paired with Logistics as a pre-shipment or post-transport condition check. And for a used or specialized asset, the inspection report is part of what Financing needs to build a finance-ready case.
