Gantry & Goliath Crane LOLER Inspection
Gantry and goliath crane LOLER inspections across Scotland, covering structure, rails, hoists, controls, limits and load path.
What duty holders need to know.
Gantry and goliath cranes transfer loads through legs, wheels or fixed rails as well as the bridge and hoist. Alignment, travel stops, rail condition and structural joints matter alongside the conventional hoist components.
The operator should provide safe access, isolate the crane where required and make previous reports, repairs and modification records available to the competent person.
