LOLER Inspections for Manufacturing & Engineering
Production sites depend on lifting equipment that is available when the job demands it. We inspect the full load path and provide records that maintenance, operations and compliance teams can act on.
A practical inspection scope for manufacturing & engineering.
Overhead cranes, jib cranes, hoists, forklifts and below-the-hook accessories often work as one system but have different identities and risks. Independent examination helps distinguish maintenance work from the statutory decision about continued safe use.
We agree what is in scope, how it can be accessed safely and which records are already available before the visit. That creates a more efficient examination without treating unlike equipment as if it were the same.
Where inspection programmes can lose control.
Unreported damage between services
We look for evidence in the equipment, its identification and the records, then state any required action clearly.
Unreadable safe working load markings
We look for evidence in the equipment, its identification and the records, then state any required action clearly.
Accessories without unique identification
We look for evidence in the equipment, its identification and the records, then state any required action clearly.
Runways or supporting structures omitted from scope
We look for evidence in the equipment, its identification and the records, then state any required action clearly.
Prepare for a productive visit.
- Share the lifting-equipment register
- Identify production shutdown windows
- Make isolation and access arrangements
- Have operators available to demonstrate controls
Arrange inspections for manufacturing & engineering
Tell us what equipment you operate, where it is and when it is due. We will confirm the right inspection scope and arrange a practical site date.
