LOLER Thorough
Examinations
Statutory thorough examination of lifting equipment under LOLER 1998: cranes, hoists, MEWPs, fork trucks and runway beams, examined against safe working load and condition.
Broxburn’s oil-shale past has been replaced by food production, distribution and light industry. We provide thorough examination of dock lifts, fork trucks and lifting accessories for the operators based here.
Examination separated from supply, hire and repair, so the report of thorough examination is impartial and stands as a statutory record.
Examinations carried out by a competent person with the knowledge and experience the regulations require, not a box-ticking checklist.
Defects graded for severity and timescale: category A for an existing or imminent risk, category B for action within a defined period.
Reports issued to the duty holder and held against the correct examination interval, so the next due date is never missed.


We confirm the equipment, the duty holder and the relevant regulation, then arrange a competent-person attendance date that suits your site.
The equipment is examined against its safe working load and condition, with functional testing where required.
Your report of thorough examination is issued the same day, digitally, with any defects categorised A or B and the timescale for action stated plainly.
