# Checklist: tools and spare parts for courier partners

Compact checklist with onboard tools, replacement bulbs and fuses, tyre repair kit and spare hardware for scanners and phones. For independent courier partners in Switzerland.

16 October 2026

## Quick answer

Independent courier partners should carry a compact kit: basic tools, replacement bulbs and fuses, a tyre repair kit and backup hardware for scanners and smartphones. This prevents small breakdowns from delaying deliveries across Swiss routes.

## Why a checklist matters

You work under time pressure and often make quick decisions on site. Missing a small part can delay a delivery. A standard checklist reduces downtime and helps maintain customer trust in cities like Zurich, Geneva and Bern.

## Core onboard tools

Keep a compact set: ratchet set (10–17 mm), Phillips and flat screwdrivers, Allen keys, combination pliers, side cutter and a multitool. Add jump leads or a portable jump starter with USB output. Store tools in an easy-access roll bag or case.

## Vehicle spares and consumables

Carry common replacement bulbs (H4, H7, T10), a selection of blade fuses (5A–30A) and socket fuses. Small bottles of engine oil and screenwash in leak-proof containers can solve simple problems on the road. Match parts to your vehicle model.

## Tyre and puncture kit

A tyre repair kit with sealant and a compact compressor solves many punctures. Include a sturdy jack pad and gloves. Keep spare valve caps and a ruler to check tread depth.

## Hardware for scanners and smartphones

Phones and scanners are essential. Pack a high-capacity power bank (20,000 mAh+), spare charging cables (USB-C, Lightning), a dash or handle mount and, if possible, a backup device or barcode scanner. Use protective cases and screen protectors to reduce failures.

## Small parts and organisation tips

Carry cable ties, electrical tape, industrial tape, spare lockbox keys, a small screw and nut kit and two reliable LED torches. Label storage boxes and keep an inventory sheet with the last check date.

## Frequently asked questions

How often should I check the kit? Do a quick check before each shift and a full inventory every 30 days. Replace consumables immediately after use.

Do roadside assistance services cover these issues? Coverage depends on your insurance or separate roadside plan. Check your policy and providers operating in Switzerland.

Do I need special tools for electric vehicles? Electric vehicles have special safety rules. Basic tyre or small repairs are fine with standard tools, but do not attempt high-voltage work. Contact authorised service partners for complex issues.

How should I store spares securely in the vehicle? Use lockable boxes or a mounted cabinet. Store heavy items low. Label boxes and prevent loose items from moving during transit.
