LOLER inspection, testing and certification in Newport Pagnell

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

Newport Pagnell handles vehicles that cannot be replaced: the heritage restoration trade descended from the town's coachbuilding line raises irreplaceable cars on two-post lifts, engine cranes and stands where a lifting failure is measured in history, not just money.

LOLER testing and certification for Newport Pagnell businesses

Low-volume, high-consequence lifting deserves examination that respects the stakes: lifts proven through their full travel, arms and pads judged for the point loads classic chassis apply, engine cranes checked at the reach where a vintage block actually swings. The kit is often older than the mechanics using it, which makes the cycle matter more, not less.

The town's working fleet side carries the familiar workshop estate alongside: commercial vehicle lifts, transmission jacks and the occasional yard truck, all on the same statutory footing. We examine the lot in one planned visit, sequenced so no bay stands idle longer than it must.

LOLER FAQs

LOLER inspection, testing and certification: common questions

Do you carry out LOLER examinations in Newport Pagnell?
Yes. Our engineer surveyors cover Newport Pagnell and the workshops around it, examining restoration and fleet lifting alike. Call us to arrange a visit.
How quickly can you get to Newport Pagnell?
We keep availability across Buckinghamshire, so a Newport Pagnell 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.
