Manchester site planning

LOLER inspections for Greater Manchester crane fleets

Companies may operate similar cranes across Trafford, Salford, Stockport and Oldham. One master schedule can coordinate due dates, but every item needs its own site, building and asset reference. Previous reports and repairs should follow that identity into the current examination.

A Trafford Park warehouse, an Oldham factory and a Stockport engineering unit can share corporate standards while needing different access, duty and maintenance plans. Records should keep those site identities clear across a regional estate.

Local FAQ

Planning work in Manchester

Can one LOLER schedule cover cranes across Greater Manchester?+

Yes. Due dates can be coordinated centrally while each premises retains the access, history and asset information needed for a complete examination.

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 Manchester, not just the town centre?+

Yes. We cover Trafford Park, Salford and Eccles, Stockport, Oldham and the M60 corridor and surrounding parts of Greater Manchester. Tell us the site postcode and access window so we can plan the visit accurately.
