What Happens During a LOLER Inspection
When our team at Access and Dock carries out LOLER inspections, we take a systematic approach to assess the condition and safe operation of your equipment. Rather than focusing on a single component, we examine the machine as a whole to identify signs of wear, damage, deterioration, or mechanical defects that could affect safe use. This includes checking structural elements, safety mechanisms, hydraulic systems, controls, emergency stop functions, guardrails, and any visible lifting components.
We also verify that previous repairs or modifications have not compromised the equipment's integrity. Once the inspection is complete, we provide the appropriate documentation, giving you a clear record of the examination and highlighting any defects that require attention. For businesses in Telford, this thorough process helps support safe operations and ongoing compliance without unnecessary disruption.
Common Reasons Boom Lifts Fail LOLER Checks
Even well-maintained boom lifts can develop issues over time, making regular LOLER checks essential. One of the most common reasons equipment fails an inspection is excessive wear on critical components caused by frequent use in demanding environments. Hydraulic leaks, damaged safety guards, faulty emergency stop switches, and defects affecting stability can all result in a failed examination. Routine servicing between inspections can often prevent these problems from becoming more serious. Aside from improving reliability, addressing minor issues early reduce unexpected downtime and avoid larger repair costs in the future.
At Access and Dock, our team uses its experience to identify developing faults before they become significant safety risks, helping operators keep their equipment working safely and efficiently.
