Forklift LOLER Inspections

Forklifts are essential within warehouses, distribution centres, manufacturing facilities and commercial premises, where they are relied upon for the safe movement of materials and goods. As lifting equipment, forklifts used for lifting loads are generally subject to statutory thorough examinations under the Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations 1998 (LOLER).

Mechanical Inspection Services Ltd provides independent LOLER thorough examinations for forklifts, helping businesses maintain statutory compliance while supporting the safe operation of their lifting equipment.

​

  • Counterbalance forklifts

  • Reach trucks

  • Order pickers

  • Pallet stackers

  • High-level order pickers
