LOLER Inspections in Telford, Shrewsbury & Across Shropshire

At Titan Platforms, we understand the importance of keeping lifting equipment safe, compliant and fit for purpose. Our LOLER inspection services in Telford, Shrewsbury and throughout Shropshire help businesses meet their legal obligations under the Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations 1998 (LOLER), established under the framework enforced by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE).

LOLER places legal responsibilities on businesses that own, operate or control lifting equipment, including scissor lifts, boom lifts and other powered access equipment. These regulations require lifting equipment to be suitable for its intended use, properly maintained and, where required, subject to regular thorough examinations by a competent person. In addition, the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998 (PUWER) establish further requirements for the safe operation, inspection and maintenance of work equipment.

 

LOLER thorough examination should be conducted every:

  • 6 months (maximum) for lifting equipment and any associated accessories used to lift people (Access Platforms / MEWPS)
  • 6 months for lifting accessories
  • 12 months for all other lifting equipment

Supporting Businesses with LOLER Compliance Across Shropshire

Whether you’re managing construction equipment, operating a fleet of powered access platforms or maintaining lifting equipment at commercial premises, LOLER compliance is essential for workplace safety. Thorough examination reports must be retained, and identified defects must be reported and addressed in accordance with the regulations.

Titan Platforms supports businesses across Telford, Shrewsbury, Shropshire and the wider West Midlands with a focus on safety, compliance and dependable service.

In addition to LOLER inspections, Titan Platforms offers a comprehensive range of powered access services including access platform servicing, annual service agreements, preventative maintenance, repairs and access platform hire.

We also deliver a wide range of IPAF training courses including:

  • IPAF Operator Training (3a, 3b & 1b)

  • IPAF MEWPs for Managers
  • IPAF Demonstrator Training

  • IPAF Loading & Unloading
  • IPAF Pre-Delivery Inspection (PDI)

A competent person: someone with the theoretical knowledge and practical experience to detect defects and judge their importance, sufficiently independent from whoever maintains the equipment. That’s why examinations are typically done by an external specialist.

Our engineer visits your site and systematically examines the equipment – structure, mechanisms, safety devices and SWL markings – to the extent the competent person determines for that equipment type, including load testing with calibrated test weights where required.

Yes. We inspect, test and certify lifting equipment and accessories of all makes and models – not just our own.

"From our first enquiry through to the collection of equipment, Titan Platforms have always provided an excellent service. The machines are well maintained, the deliveries are organised and the team are knowledgeable and approachable. We would not hesitate to recommend them."
