Lifting equipment inspections (LOLER)

We help you meet your obligations under LOLER for lifting equipment 

How often do I need to have a lifting equipment inspection?

Unless there is an examination scheme, specifying other intervals, thorough examinations should be performed every:

  • 6 months, for lifting equipment and associated accessories used to lift people

  • 6 months, for all lifting accessories

  • 12 months, for all other lifting equipment

A thorough examination requires visual examination and functional checks and should be performed by a competent person.
