Nottingham site planning

LOLER inspection across Nottingham industry

A competent-person examination may occur above a clean process, inside an engineering bay or across a high warehouse. Each setting changes access and coordination. Duty holders should provide an accurate register, previous reports, repair history and site rules, then make equipment available and identifiable.

The lifting task can range from clean, precise handling near sensitive production to robust material movement in engineering or logistics. Access varies from urban estates to large edge-of-city units, so surveys must capture the process environment and the final route to the work area.

Local FAQ

Planning work in Nottingham

Can LOLER inspection be completed in a controlled Nottingham production area?+

Yes, if site controls and safe access allow a thorough examination. Share the requirements before the visit.

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 Nottingham, not just the town centre?+

Yes. We cover Colwick, Lenton and Queens Drive, Bulwell, M1 corridor and wider Nottinghamshire and surrounding parts of East Midlands. Tell us the site postcode and access window so we can plan the visit accurately.
