LOLER inspection, testing and certification in Warrington

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

A coil is a load with an opinion: wound steel, cable and strip that stores spring and wants its shape back. Around Warrington's distribution and processing sheds, coil and reel handling gear works all day, and LOLER 1998 examines it against a load that pushes back.

Lifting equipment we examine

LOLER testing and certification for Warrington businesses

Lifting equipment across the town runs from coil and reel handling, C-hooks, mandrels, grabs and turning gear, through fork truck fleets and cranes to the hoists, vehicle lifts and accessories of the estates.

Coil gear earns geometric respect: hooks and mandrels whose engagement depth is the whole connection, grabs that must hold a load trying to unwind, turning and up-ending operations where control is everything, and truck attachments whose pairing arithmetic a dense coil rewrites. Our thorough examinations prove engagement, condition and pairing together, purpose-made gear assessed on its engineering, and every item's Report of Thorough Examination issued with limits stated plainly and the next date set.

LOLER FAQs

LOLER inspection, testing and certification: common questions

Do you carry out LOLER examinations and certification in Warrington?
Yes. Our engineer surveyors cover Warrington and the sites around it, examining coil gear proven at the engagement. Call us to arrange a visit.
How quickly can you get to Warrington?
We keep availability across Cheshire, so a Warrington 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.
