Vehicle Lift LOLER Inspection
Vehicle lift LOLER inspections for garages, workshops and MOT centres across Scotland, including two-post, four-post and scissor lifts.
What duty holders need to know.
Two-post, four-post, scissor and mobile column lifts raise a vehicle above people working beneath it. Synchronisation, load restraint, locking systems and structural condition are therefore central to safe continued use.
The garage or workshop controlling the lift should maintain it, keep its rated-capacity and operating information available, and arrange independent thorough examination at the correct interval.
Check the relevant HSE guidance ↗What we examine on vehicle lifts.
The final scope depends on design, use and condition. These are the components and records commonly considered.
- Columns, platforms, arms and pads
- Chains, ropes, screws or hydraulics
- Load-holding and mechanical locks
- Synchronisation and levelling
- Arm restraints and pick-up points
- Controls, limits and emergency stop
- Fixings, foundations and installation
- Rated capacity and instructions
Problems the examination may identify.
