Canterbury Lifts Now Offering LOLER Inspections Across Kent and the Southeast

Updated: Sep 25

At Canterbury Lifts, we are excited to announce that we now offer LOLER inspections for platform lifts across Kent and the Southeast. As one of the UK's leading specialists in platform lifts, we understand the importance of keeping your equipment safe and compliant with industry standards.


What is LOLER?


LOLER stands for the Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations 1998. These regulations are in place to ensure that all lifting equipment used in the workplace is strong, stable, and suitable for the task at hand. Specifically, LOLER inspections assess the safety of lifting equipment, ensuring that it can continue to operate without putting users at risk.


If you operate platform lifts or other lifting equipment, you are legally required to have regular LOLER inspections carried out by a competent person. These inspections are crucial for identifying any wear and tear or faults that could compromise safety.


Why Regular LOLER Inspections Are Essential


  1. Compliance with the Law: In the UK, LOLER inspections are mandatory for businesses that use lifting equipment, including platform lifts. Failure to comply with these regulations can result in penalties and could potentially void your insurance.


  2. Ensuring Safety: Regular LOLER inspections help prevent accidents by identifying potential hazards early. For platform lifts, this is especially important as they are often used by people with limited mobility.


  3. Reducing Costs: By identifying issues before they become major problems, you can avoid expensive repairs or downtime. Regular inspections help prolong the lifespan of your platform lifts.


  4. Peace of Mind: Knowing that your lifts are compliant and safe gives both business owners and users confidence in the equipment they rely on daily.
