Leeds site planning

LOLER planning for Leeds cranes and hoists

Leeds estates can spread lifting equipment across warehouses, workshops and external areas. The competent person needs each asset available, identifiable and safely accessible. Accurate building and bay data prevents reports for similar cranes being assigned to the wrong location.

A Stourton logistics unit may need work planned around vehicle flows and racking. An older Hunslet or Cross Green workshop can have tighter doors, lower roofs and uncertain legacy steel. Those local constraints belong in the engineering scope from the start.

Local FAQ

Planning work in Leeds

What information helps a Leeds LOLER visit run efficiently?+

Provide the asset list, exact locations, last reports, repair evidence, access arrangements and a contact who can operate or isolate the equipment.

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 Leeds, not just the town centre?+

Yes. We cover Aire Valley Leeds, Cross Green, Stourton, Temple Green and the M1 corridor and surrounding parts of West Yorkshire. Tell us the site postcode and access window so we can plan the visit accurately.
