LOLER Inspections
LOLER Inspections are required under LOLER 1998 and safety law.
Required by law, you are responsible for ensuring that your lifting equipment complies with LOLER safety regulations. Roughly equivelant to an MOT, LOLER Inspections are required throughout the year for safety compliance. To reduce how long your machinery is unavailable, we can complete your LOLER examination at your premises. Along with this, we will provide a complete report of any defects and potential repair timescales. If there are no defects, your report will act as certification that the equipment is safe for use.
Our MHE checks include:
- Steering
- Chassis
- Brakes
- Wheels
- Tyres
- Forks
- Traction
- Seat restraints and mounts
