Thorough LOLER Inspections You Can Rely On
As a lift owner or person responsible for its safe operation, you are legally defined as a dutyholder under LOLER. That comes with a serious responsibility: ensuring that your lifting equipment is thoroughly examined at legally required intervals and certified safe to use.
Failing to comply with LOLER can lead to serious consequences—ranging from equipment failure and legal action to injury and reputational damage. At LLI, we understand the pressure that comes with compliance. That’s why we provide a professional, end-to-end LOLER inspection service to help you stay on top of your obligations with complete confidence.
LOLER inspections must be carried out:
-
Every 6 months if the lift carries people
-
Every 12 months if the lift carries only goods
-
After substantial alterations, damage, or repairs
It's important to note: a LOLER Inspection is not the same as routine maintenance. While maintenance focuses on keeping the lift running smoothly, a LOLER inspection is an independent, legally required check to ensure your lift is fundamentally safe.

It places duties on people and companies who own, operate or have control over work equipment. It also places responsibilities on businesses and organisations whose employees use work equipment, whether owned by them or not.
If you're responsible for a lift or hoist used at work, regular LOLER inspections are a legal requirement. Call our team in London now.
