Independent LOLER Inspections for Mobile Elevating Work Platforms
(MEWPs)
Mobile Elevating Work Platforms (MEWPs) are widely used across construction sites, warehouses, manufacturing facilities, airports, facilities management and industrial environments. As lifting equipment, MEWPs 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 MEWPs, helping businesses maintain statutory compliance while supporting the safe operation of equipment used for working at height.
What Is a MEWP?
A Mobile Elevating Work Platform (MEWP) is a machine designed to safely lift people to carry out work at height. Common types of MEWPs include:
-
Scissor lifts
-
Cherry pickers
-
Articulated boom lifts
-
Telescopic boom lifts
-
Vertical mast lifts
-
Personnel lifts
These machines are used across a wide range of industries and require regular statutory thorough examinations where LOLER applies.
Why Do MEWPs Require LOLER Thorough Examinations?
MEWPs lift people and are therefore commonly subject to the requirements of LOLER.
Regular thorough examinations help identify defects that could affect the safe use of the equipment while supporting employers in meeting their legal responsibilities.
Independent LOLER inspections also provide assurance that equipment continues to be suitable for use and that statutory inspection intervals are maintained.
