Frequently Asked Questions
Have a question before getting in touch? Here are some common queries about booking inspections, hiring equipment, and working with Industrial Lifting
How often should LOLER testing be done?
LOLER testing frequency depends on the type of lifting equipment and how often it is used, but generally, thorough LOLER inspections are required at least every 6 to 12 months. For equipment used daily or in harsh environments, inspections may need to be more frequent. Sometimes every 3 months. To ensure safety and compliance.
What is proof load testing and why is it required?
Proof load testing is a crucial part of lifting equipment safety checks, where equipment is tested by applying a load greater than its normal working limit to ensure it can safely handle operational stresses. This process verifies the strength and integrity of lifting gear such as cranes, hoists, slings, and lifting beams.
It is required by law under the LOLER (Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations 1998) to ensure that lifting equipment is safe to use and complies with health and safety standards. Proof load testing helps identify any weaknesses, defects, or potential failures before the equipment is put into service, preventing accidents and costly downtime.
At Industrial Lifting, our certified engineers carry out professional proof load tests to give you peace of mind that your lifting equipment meets all legal requirements and is safe for everyday use.
