LOLER Inspections in Lincoln

Lifting equipment inspections across Lincolnshire

Lifting equipment in Lincolnshire looks different to lifting equipment in a city. Telehandlers rather than counterbalance forklifts, grain plant with hoists and elevators, workshop cranes in farm buildings, and lifting accessories that spend their lives outdoors. All of it falls under LOLER, and outdoor service life is exactly the condition that shortens the useful life of a sling or a chain.

Telehandlers deserve particular attention because of attachments. The machine itself sits on a 12-month examination; fit a man basket and that becomes 6 months, and every attachment — forks, bucket, hook, jib — is a lifting accessory in its own right on a 6-month interval. It is entirely normal for one machine to carry three or four different due dates, and that is where records fall apart.

Because the county is spread out, we plan attendance rather than firefight it. One visit covers the lifting equipment, the machinery, the height safety kit and the air receiver, with renewal dates aligned so it stays that way in future years.
