Europort and Normanton
Arrange powered access and protect the floor below high warehouse cranes.
Wakefield, West Yorkshire
Coordinate Wakefield LOLER examinations around warehouse traffic, high-bay access and accurate district-wide asset registers.
Wakefield site planning
A thorough examination needs more than a due-date list. Every crane, hoist and accessory should have a stable identity, exact location and suitable access. At large Wakefield sites, the examination zone must also be separated from forklifts, HGVs and automated material movement.
Those operations need planning around dispatch windows, traffic controls and high-level access. Older workshops elsewhere in the district add lower roofs, constrained yards and mixed-age equipment, so the service method should follow the premises rather than a standard town script.

Local FAQ
Yes, if each asset is identifiable and operating support, access equipment and exclusion zones are planned in the correct sequence.
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.
No. Servicing maintains the equipment. A thorough examination is an independent assessment of safety. Both are important and can be planned together.
Yes. We cover Wakefield Europort, Normanton and Castleford, Ossett and Horbury, M1 and M62 corridors and surrounding parts of West Yorkshire. Tell us the site postcode and access window so we can plan the visit accurately.
