LOLER inspection, testing and certification in High Wycombe

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

High Wycombe's working weight has shifted to Cressex: the business park and its new logistics space run the racking-height forklift work that punishes lifting equipment hardest, minutes from Junction 4 and always against the clock.

LOLER testing and certification for High Wycombe businesses

High-bay work concentrates wear where examinations look first: mast chains stretching under repeated full-height cycles, forks worn past the heel tolerance nobody measures until asked, and reach trucks whose tilt and side-shift see more use than their service history admits. Equipment that lifts high fails expensively, so the cycle is not a formality.

The park's mixed economy adds the rest of the estate: goods lifts moving stock between floors, tail lifts on the delivery fleet, and the occasional gantry in a workshop unit. One planned visit sweeps the lot, sequenced around despatch so the operation keeps moving.

LOLER FAQs

LOLER inspection, testing and certification: common questions

Do you carry out LOLER examinations in High Wycombe?
Yes. Our engineer surveyors cover High Wycombe and Cressex, examining racking-height trucks and warehouse lifting around despatch. Call us to arrange a visit.
How quickly can you get to High Wycombe?
We keep availability across Buckinghamshire, so a High Wycombe visit is usually within a couple of working days, 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.
