LOLER inspection, testing and certification in Coalville

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

Walk a Coalville warehouse and the LOLER question is everywhere: the trucks yes, the racking no, the dock leveller no, the scissor lift yes, the pallet no, the goods hoist yes. Sorting a distribution site into its regimes is the first job, and getting it wrong means paying for the wrong compliance.

Lifting equipment we examine

LOLER testing and certification for Coalville businesses

Lifting equipment across the town's estates runs from fork lift and reach trucks through scissor lifts, goods hoists and vehicle lifts to the slings and attachments of the maintenance workshops, standing alongside plenty of kit that looks like lifting but sits under other regimes.

Scope sorting saves money in both directions: LOLER examination bought for equipment that does not need it is waste, and missed on equipment that does is a breach, so the register has to be right before the programme can be. We walk sites and sort honestly: trucks, hoists, scissor lifts and accessories onto their six and twelve month LOLER cycles, dock levellers and racking flagged for the regimes they actually belong to, and every examined item leaving with its Report of Thorough Examination.

LOLER FAQs

LOLER inspection, testing and certification: common questions

Do you carry out LOLER examinations and certification in Coalville?
Yes. Our engineer surveyors cover Coalville and the sites around it, examining with warehouse scope sorted honestly. Call us to arrange a visit.
How quickly can you get to Coalville?
We keep availability across Leicestershire, so a Coalville 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.
