Compliance-first approach

Clear findings, practical next steps

Compliance is not a box-ticking exercise. It is about protecting people, operations and your business.

We work to the requirements of LOLER, PUWER and the Health and Safety at Work Act, following relevant HSE guidance. Our inspection reports are clear, practical and written for engineers, managers and auditors. You know exactly what is compliant, what needs attention and what the next steps are.

Digital reporting ensures your certificates, defect records and asset history are accessible, audit-ready and easy to manage.

Our clients

Support that scales with your site

We support manufacturing, fabrication, logistics, construction, utilities and processing plants. Whether you manage one crane or hundreds of assets across multiple sites, we scale our service to match your needs.

Many clients switch to CraneCert because they have experienced slow response times, unclear reports or inconsistent service elsewhere. We focus on long-term partnerships built on trust, clear communication and dependable performance.

Safety underpins everything we do. Our engineers are trained, qualified and regularly assessed, following structured procedures, risk assessments and method statements for every job.

What we stand for

The way we work

Compliance first

Compliance is not a checkbox. It protects people and operations. We work to LOLER and PUWER requirements and relevant HSE guidance, with the paperwork to prove it.

Straight-talking

Transparent pricing and honest recommendations. We fix what needs fixing and tell you what does not, with no unnecessary upselling.

Genuinely responsive

A 24/7 emergency line answered by engineers, not a call centre, and planned visits that respect your production schedule.

Digitally organised

Modern reporting and cloud-managed certificates via CertFlow, so your compliance records are always audit-ready.
