LOLER 1998 · Yorkshire

LOLER inspection, testing and certification in Goole

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

Goole is building things at a pace few towns match: a new rail manufacturing village at junction 36, glass production, distribution, and Britain's most inland port still working the docks. LOLER 1998 covers every crane, hoist and truck across all of it.

Lifting equipment we examine

LOLER testing and certification for Goole businesses

Lifting around the town runs from the dock cranes of the port through the fork truck fleets of the distribution sheds to the overhead cranes, hoists and jigs of the manufacturing plants growing along the M62. With them sits the quieter population: the standby crane, the seldom used spreader beam, the accessories kept for the occasional heavy job.

Rarely used is not exempt, and that is the point owners in a fast growing town most often miss. LOLER's clock runs on the calendar, not the hour meter: a hoist that lifted twice last year still needs its thorough examination on time, because the day it is finally needed is exactly the day it must be right. We examine the standby and occasional kit alongside the daily fleet, so everything that could lift is provably fit to, with its own Report of Thorough Examination on file.

LOLER FAQs

LOLER inspection, testing and certification: common questions

Do you carry out LOLER examinations and certification in Goole?
Yes. Our engineer surveyors cover Goole and the sites around it, examining daily fleets and standby lifting kit alike. Call us to arrange a visit.
How quickly can you get to Goole?
We keep availability across Yorkshire, so a Goole 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.
