FAQ's
Frequently Asked Questions
LOLER, or the Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations 1998, is a UK regulatory framework that ensures the safety of all lifting equipment. For forklifts, LOLER requires regular inspections to confirm that they are safe, well-maintained, and operated by trained personnel. This ensures the equipment’s suitability for the intended tasks and reduces safety risks.
Forklifts must undergo LOLER inspections at regular intervals, typically every six months. These inspections are crucial and must be performed by qualified professionals with the necessary skills and understanding specific to forklift operations and safety requirements.
If a forklift fails its LOLER inspection, it must be immediately withdrawn from service. It cannot be used until all identified issues are corrected, and it successfully passes a follow-up inspection. This process is vital to ensure the ongoing safety of the equipment and its operators.w
