LOLER Inspections for Warehousing & Logistics

Busy warehouses can have equipment operating across several shifts, loading bays and temperature zones. We help facilities teams organise the LOLER and PUWER evidence behind that operation.

Your operating environment

A practical inspection scope for warehousing & logistics.

Forklifts and attachments, dock equipment, goods lifts and MEWPs face frequent use and accidental contact. An accurate register and coordinated site attendance make it easier to find every asset and deal with findings quickly.

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.

Sector risks

Where inspection programmes can lose control.

1

High utilisation masking developing wear

We look for evidence in the equipment, its identification and the records, then state any required action clearly.

2

Attachments not included on the register

We look for evidence in the equipment, its identification and the records, then state any required action clearly.

3

Capacity plates damaged or no longer accurate

We look for evidence in the equipment, its identification and the records, then state any required action clearly.

4

Assets moved between depots without records

We look for evidence in the equipment, its identification and the records, then state any required action clearly.

Before attendance

Prepare for a productive visit.

  1. Export the current fleet list
  2. Record attachments against host trucks
  3. Agree bay and aisle access
  4. Plan charging, isolation and operator support

Arrange inspections for warehousing & logistics

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.

FAQs

Warehousing & logistics inspection FAQs

Can forklifts be inspected during a working shift?
Often yes, but each truck must be released long enough for a complete examination and functional checks. A planned sequence keeps disruption controlled.
Are forklift attachments covered automatically?
They need to be identified and included. Attachments can affect capacity and may have their own inspection requirements.
Can reports be grouped by depot?
Yes. Digital reports remain asset-specific while the visit and document handover can be organised around each location.
