LOLER inspection, testing and certification in Beverley

Thorough examination, testing and certification of lifting equipment by an independent competent person

Beverley's working life happens on its trading estates and in the businesses behind its historic front: goods lifts, fork trucks and workshop hoists in units that often share landlords, buildings and kit. LOLER 1998 applies to every one of those lifts.

Lifting equipment we examine

LOLER testing and certification for Beverley businesses

Lifting equipment around the town is the practical mix of a county town economy: fork trucks and pallet stackers in the units, goods lifts serving stores and mezzanines, vehicle lifts in the motor trade, engine cranes and chain blocks in workshops, and the slings and attachments behind them. Every item is within LOLER's scope regardless of who owns the building it works in.

On multi-tenant estates the sharpest question is not the equipment but the duty. A goods lift in a landlord's building, a fork truck on hire, a hoist shared between units: LOLER's duty sits with the employer who has control of the equipment's use, and assuming someone else has it covered is how examinations lapse. We help each duty holder pin down exactly what they are responsible for, then examine it and issue the Reports of Thorough Examination that prove the duty is met.

LOLER FAQs

LOLER inspection, testing and certification: common questions

Do you carry out LOLER examinations and certification in Beverley?
Yes. Our engineer surveyors cover Beverley and the sites around it, examining goods lifts, trucks and workshop lifting, owned or hired. Call us to arrange a visit.
How quickly can you get to Beverley?
We keep availability across Yorkshire, so a Beverley visit is often the same or next working day, sooner when equipment is needed back in service. Call 0330 043 8191 to book around your operations.
How often must lifting equipment be thoroughly examined?
At least every 6 months for equipment that lifts people and for all lifting accessories, and at least every 12 months for other lifting equipment, or to an examination scheme set by a competent person. Those intervals are legal maximums, and an examination is also due after any exceptional event such as an overload or major repair; the HSE sets this out in its LOLER guidance.
Is LOLER a legal requirement?
Yes. Under LOLER 1998 the duty holder must ensure lifting equipment is thoroughly examined by a competent person and is not used once its examination has lapsed, and that responsibility stays with you even when the work is outsourced.
Do you load-test our lifting equipment every time?
No. LOLER calls for thorough examination, with testing only where it is necessary, and the HSE advises against routine overload testing because it can damage sound equipment. We test only where the examination genuinely requires it.
Who counts as a competent person for LOLER?
Someone with the practical and theoretical knowledge and experience to find defects and judge their significance, and who is sufficiently independent and impartial to report without pressure. The HSE is clear this should not be the person who maintains the same equipment.
What is a LOLER certificate, and how long do I keep it?
It is the Report of Thorough Examination required by Regulation 10, recording each item's condition, any defect found and its category, and the date the next examination is due. Keep it at least until the next examination, and it is this report an inspector or insurer asks to see.
Does lifting equipment also fall under PUWER?
Yes. LOLER covers the lifting duties while PUWER covers the same item as work equipment more generally, so the two overlap. We sort each item to the right regime so nothing is missed or examined twice over.
