LOLER Compliance Tracking
Never Miss a Thorough Examination Again
Automatic reminders, certificate uploads, audit-ready records and colour-coded urgency dashboard — built specifically for UK plant hire, construction, agriculture and manufacturing.
LOLER Non-Compliance Is Expensive
LOLER 1998 requires thorough examinations every 6 months for lifting equipment used to lift people (e.g. MEWPs, scissor lifts) and every 12 months for other lifting accessories and equipment (e.g. excavators with lifting attachments, telehandlers, cranes).
Fines & Prosecution
HSE fines for LOLER breaches regularly exceed £20,000–£100,000+, with unlimited fines possible in serious cases.
Equipment Downtime
Failed inspections mean immediate stop-use orders — costing days or weeks of lost revenue.
Manual Chaos
Spreadsheets, paper certificates and diary reminders are easy to miss — especially across growing fleets.
