Mobile Crane LOLER Inspection
Independent mobile crane LOLER inspections across Scotland, covering structure, wire ropes, hooks, outriggers, controls and safety devices.
What duty holders need to know.
Mobile cranes combine high loads, changing radius and site-dependent stability. Thorough examination must consider the crane structure, lifting machinery, ropes, hooks, outriggers and the devices that tell the operator what the machine can safely do.
The crane owner and user must coordinate maintenance, inspection, lifting plans and thorough examination. The statutory report is one part of that system, not a substitute for correct setup or planned lifting operations.
Check the relevant HSE guidance ↗What we examine on mobile cranes.
