LOLER Crane Inspections in Barnsley

Arrange LOLER examinations for Barnsley cranes, hoists and lifting accessories with clear asset identities and defect priorities.

Barnsley site planning

LOLER planning for Barnsley factories, workshops and distribution sites

Duty holders may manage a single workshop hoist or mixed fleets across production and warehousing buildings. Useful preparation includes the asset register, safe working loads, last reports, examination scheme where applicable and any exceptional events or repairs. Access must reflect the position of every asset, not merely the site address.

Because CraneCert is based in Barnsley, a survey can start with the practical detail: door sizes, temporary access plant, live production, floor loading, isolation points and how the crane will be reached safely throughout its working life.

Local FAQ

Planning work in Barnsley

Can Barnsley lifting accessories be examined with the cranes?+

Yes, if they are available, identifiable and included in the scope. Presenting them in a controlled area helps make the examination complete.

How often does a crane need a LOLER thorough examination?+

Most lifting equipment is examined at least every 12 months, or every 6 months where it lifts people, unless a competent person sets a written examination scheme with different intervals.

Is a service the same as a LOLER examination?+

No. Servicing maintains the equipment. A thorough examination is an independent assessment of safety. Both are important and can be planned together.

Do you cover industrial sites across Barnsley, not just the town centre?+

Yes. We cover Gateway 36 and Hoyland, The Dearne Valley, Wombwell and Stairfoot, M1 junctions 36 and 37 and surrounding parts of South Yorkshire. Tell us the site postcode and access window so we can plan the visit accurately.
