What this form is
It is a blank equipment maintenance log on one page: the equipment's details at the top and fourteen lines for dated entries. Each entry records one visit or job, so the page becomes the machine's history.
Keep one log per machine. A printed log works well clipped to the equipment or kept in a binder beside it.
What each part is for
- Asset name and Asset ID: what your team calls the machine and its stable identifier, ideally the one written on it.
- Location: where the equipment is.
- Manufacturer, Model and Serial number: from the nameplate. They help when you order parts or look up the manual.
- Page: number the pages of each machine's log so they stay in order.
- Date: the day the work was done.
- Work performed: what was done, in plain words. "Replaced intake air filter" tells more than "Maintenance".
- Technician: who did the work.
- Observations: what was noticed, even when nothing was fixed. Wear, leaks or readings are worth writing down.
- Next service date: leave it empty or take it from the manufacturer's manual or your own maintenance plan.
How to use it
- Select Print this form. Only the log prints.
- Fill in the equipment details once, at the top.
- Add an entry the same day the work is done, while the details are fresh.
- When a job came from a work order, write the work order number in the entry.
- When the page is full, start a new one and number it.
Limits
- Paper can be lost. Keep the log in one known place and copy or photograph it regularly.
- It does not remind anyone. A next service date on paper only helps if someone reads it.
- It is not a record designed for regulated equipment. Equipment with its own record-keeping rules needs the forms those rules require.
Next steps
- Keep the same log on screen with the equipment maintenance log, which saves in your browser and exports to PDF or CSV.
- Read how to keep an equipment maintenance history that stays useful.
- Want the log in a spreadsheet? See the maintenance log template for Excel.
Common questions
How many entries fit on one printed maintenance log?
Fourteen entries per page. When a page is full, start a new one for the same machine and number the pages so the history stays in order.
Should I keep one maintenance log per machine?
Yes. One log per piece of equipment, with its asset ID at the top, keeps each machine's history together and makes it easy to find when a part was last replaced.
Is a paper maintenance log enough?
It is a sound start for a small team. Paper can be lost, cannot be searched and does not remind anyone when service is due, so keep it in one known place and copy it regularly.
