LOLER inspection, testing and certification in Immingham

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

Immingham is the UK's largest port by tonnage, and the lifting never stops: harbour cranes, container handling, Ro-Ro decks and the terminal workshops behind them. Every crane, hoist and lifting accessory on and around the port falls under LOLER 1998.

LOLER testing and certification for Immingham businesses

Lifting around the port and its hinterland runs at industrial scale: mobile harbour and ship to shore cranes, container handling plant, fork lifts and reach stackers in the yards and warehouses, workshop cranes in the maintenance sheds, and the vast population of slings, chains, shackles and spreader gear that rigs the cargo. All of it is LOLER equipment.

Duty cycle is what sets terminal lifting apart. Equipment that works continuously around vessel schedules accumulates wear far faster than the calendar suggests, and LOLER lets a competent person answer that with an examination scheme tuned to actual use rather than the default intervals. We examine around your operations, plan visits into maintenance windows rather than working hours, and keep the accessory population on its six month cycle without holding up the quay.

LOLER FAQs

LOLER inspection, testing and certification: common questions

Do you carry out LOLER examinations and certification in Immingham?
Yes. Our engineer surveyors cover Immingham and the sites around it, examining terminal, workshop and warehouse lifting alike. Call us to arrange a visit.
How quickly can you get to Immingham?
We keep availability across Lincolnshire, so a Immingham visit is often the same or next working day, 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.
