What types of lifting equipment require LOLER testing?
LOLER testing is required for a wide range of lifting equipment used in workplaces to ensure safety and compliance with legal regulations. This includes, but is not limited to:
Cranes and hoists (electric, manual, and chain hoists)
Forklifts and telehandlers
Lifting slings, chains, ropes, and accessories
Pallet trucks and lifting platforms
Vehicle tail lifts
Passenger and goods lifts
Scissor lifts and cherry pickers
Patient hoists and healthcare lifting equipment
Tirak hoists and specialist lifting gear
If your equipment is used to lift or suspend loads, it most likely falls under the LOLER regulations and requires regular inspections and testing. Our team at Industrial Lifting can help identify which of your equipment needs LOLER testing and ensure it meets all safety standards.
Who can carry out LOLER inspections?
LOLER inspections must be carried out by a competent person who has the necessary skills, knowledge, and experience to thoroughly examine lifting equipment for safety and compliance. This person should be trained in LOLER regulations and familiar with the specific types of equipment being inspected.
At Industrial Lifting, all our LOLER inspections are performed by certified and experienced inspectors who follow strict industry standards to ensure your equipment is safe and legally compliant. Employing a qualified professional helps you avoid costly fines and ensures the wellbeing of your workforce.
If you’re unsure whether your current inspection provider meets these standards, contact us for expert advice and professional LOLER inspection services.
How much does LOLER testing cost?
The cost of LOLER testing varies depending on several factors, including the type and number of lifting equipment items, the complexity of the inspection, and the location of your site. Generally, prices are influenced by equipment size, condition, and whether additional services like proof load testing are required.
At Industrial Lifting, we provide competitive and transparent pricing tailored to your specific needs.

Investing in regular LOLER testing not only ensures compliance with legal regulations but also helps prevent costly equipment failures and safety incidents.
Is LOLER testing a legal requirement?
Yes, LOLER (Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations 1998) testing is a legal requirement in the UK for all businesses that use lifting equipment in the workplace. The regulations mandate that lifting equipment must be regularly inspected and thoroughly examined by a competent person to ensure it is safe to use.
LOLER testing helps prevent accidents, protect workers, and ensure compliance with health and safety laws. Failure to comply with LOLER regulations can result in severe penalties, including fines and legal action.
At Industrial Lifting, we provide professional LOLER testing services that help you meet all legal obligations, maintain equipment safety, and protect your workforce.
