What is LOLER?

LOLER stands for the Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations 1998. These regulations apply to all businesses that use lifting equipment, ensuring that the equipment is safe to use and properly maintained. LOLER inspections are mandatory for lifts and other lifting devices, ensuring compliance with legal standards and helping avoid costly accidents or repairs.

​

Why Are LOLER Inspections Important?

LOLER inspections are vital to:

  • Ensure Safety: Regular inspections help detect faults or potential risks in lifting equipment before they become hazards.

  • Comply with Legal Requirements: Businesses are legally required to ensure that their lifts are inspected regularly. Failing to comply can result in penalties or legal issues.

  • Reduce Downtime: A LOLER inspection helps identify minor issues early, preventing more significant failures that could lead to extended downtime.

  • Maintain Insurance Compliance: Insurance providers often require proof of regular LOLER inspections to validate coverage.

  • ​

What’s Involved in a LOLER Inspection?

A typical LOLER inspection involves:

  • Detailed Examination of Lifting Equipment: A qualified engineer will assess all mechanical components, including ropes, pulleys, and load-bearing parts.

  • Load Testing: We conduct tests to ensure the lift can safely carry its rated load.

  • Structural Integrity Check: Inspecting the lift shaft, doors, and frame to ensure no damage or deterioration has occurred.

  • Safety Features Testing: We check emergency systems, alarms, and stop mechanisms to ensure they function properly.

  • Documentation: After each inspection, we provide a comprehensive LOLER certificate that proves your lift has passed the necessary safety tests.
