LOLER inspection, testing and certification in Wolverton

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

Wolverton has lifted rail vehicles for longer than almost anywhere in Britain, and the discipline survives: works cranes and synchronised jacking that raise a carriage level and true, alongside the forklifts serving the newer warehousing off McConnell Drive. Different worlds, one examination duty.

LOLER testing and certification for Wolverton businesses

Rail vehicle lifting is precision work at scale: synchronised jacks must rise together within tight tolerance, because a carriage lifted unevenly loads its structure in ways it was never designed for. Examination here proves the set as a system, the interlocks between jacks as much as each jack's own condition.

The warehouse side of town runs the familiar estate: counterbalance and reach trucks, and the racking-height work that punishes worn forks and tired chains. Both worlds land on the same statutory cycle, and both can share a visit when the diary is planned around your operations.

LOLER FAQs

LOLER inspection, testing and certification: common questions

Do you carry out LOLER examinations in Wolverton?
Yes. Our engineer surveyors cover Wolverton and the sites around it, from rail works lifting to warehouse trucks. Call us to arrange a visit.
How quickly can you get to Wolverton?
We keep availability across Buckinghamshire, so a Wolverton 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.
