LOLER, PUWER, PAT and MEWP inspection softwarefor the people who inspect equipment, and the people who own it.
Thorough examinations on a phone, Schedule 1 reports generated for you, and every due date tracked across every site, depot and vessel. LOLER and PUWER inspections, MEWP examinations and your full equipment register, all in one plan. PAT testing is covered too. One flat monthly rate, unlimited users and inspections.
Your inspection process works. But it is costing you more than you think.
Most inspection companies have built their own system over the years. Bits of paper, a spreadsheet, maybe some Word templates. It gets the job done. But the admin adds up fast, and one missed date puts everything at risk.
Every evening your inspector is at a laptop
Notes on site. Typed up at a desk. That is 45 to 60 minutes per inspector, per day. Time that could go on more inspections, more clients, more revenue.
One missed date is all it takes
Under LOLER, there is no grace period. Lifting accessories need checking every 6 months. Miss a date by one day and your client is non-compliant. No warnings. No extensions.
When the HSE calls, the clock starts ticking
They want records now, not in 30 minutes. Searching through folders and spreadsheets to find the right examination report is slow, stressful, and never a good look.
Signal drops. The job stops.
Your inspector is in a basement or a plant room. The signal drops. Generic software times out. The certificate does not go out. The client waits. LolerFlow works fully offline and syncs the moment signal returns.
HSE can serve an improvement notice the day a thorough examination is overdue
One app. Every inspection your team does, and the register behind it.
LolerFlow is inspection and equipment register software made in the UK by TulipTech Ltd. Inspectors use it on a phone for LOLER thorough examinations, PUWER inspections and MEWP examinations, and it keeps a register of every asset with its next due date. Reports include everything LOLER Schedule 1 requires. Your clients get their certificates the same day. Your due dates never slip. No paper. No evening typing.
LOLER, PUWER and MEWP, all in the standard plan

As a civil engineering contractor, we inspect our own lifting gear, plant and power tools in-house. Before LolerFlow, our records were spread across different places. Now our whole equipment register sits in one system, with LOLER, PUWER and PAT inspections side by side. When we asked for PUWER and PAT, the LolerFlow team built them for us, along with every other change we needed. Having every certificate and document for each piece of kit in one place was the big thing for me.
Your spreadsheet was never built for this
A spreadsheet can be made to work, until the second inspection type arrives. LolerFlow already knows the LOLER Schedule 1 fields, the PUWER requirements, the MEWP checks and the intervals for each. One register, every inspection, and you just start using it.
You build a template for each inspection type yourself and hope nothing is missing
LOLER Schedule 1, PUWER and MEWP reports in the correct format from day one, mandatory fields enforced
Track 6 month, 12 month and PUWER intervals by hand in spreadsheets or calendar reminders
The right interval set per item, due dates calculated per asset, reminders sent before expiry
Simple pass/fail with no way to grade a defect or track what happened next
Full defect grading with follow-up actions triggered per category
Needs internet and stops working in basements, plant rooms and on vessels
Full offline mode on iOS and Android; syncs automatically when signal returns
Email PDFs manually after every inspection
Clients log in to their own portal and download certificates themselves
Per-user pricing that climbs with every inspector, and still not LOLER-ready

Pre-built templates for every type of lifting equipment
Ready-to-use inspection templates for lifting equipment under LOLER 1998 and work equipment under PUWER 1998, with the correct fields and intervals already set up. Most lifting equipment comes under both: LOLER for the lifting parts, PUWER for everything else. No configuration needed.

Not sure if your equipment is covered?
Ask us, hello@lolerflow.co.ukFrequently asked questions
Yes, completely. LolerFlow is designed around the specific requirements of LOLER 1998. Inspection templates cover all mandatory fields from Schedule 1. Reports include the defect category (A, B or C, following the LEEA convention used across the industry), the examiner's declaration, and equipment identifiers. The record retention system meets Regulation 11. We're built for this, not adapted from a generic tool.
LolerFlow automatically applies the correct interval for each asset, 6 months for lifting accessories (chains, slings, shackles) and equipment used to lift persons; 12 months for other lifting equipment. You can also configure a custom examination scheme if you have one in place. The system alerts you before expiry, nothing slips through.
Yes. LOLER itself does not define categories A, B and C. It asks the examiner to record any defect that is, or could become, a danger to persons, and the date by which it must be put right. Categories A, B and C are the LEEA convention most UK inspectors use to express that. LolerFlow records the category on every inspection: Category A (existing danger) marks the asset out of service straight away, Category B (future danger) sets a repair deadline, and Category C (observation) is kept for trend monitoring. The report matches what an HSE inspector expects to see.
Yes. Every completed examination generates a Schedule 1-compliant written report covering all required fields: equipment description and identification, date of examination, safe working load, examiner details, defect category, and required actions. Reports are exported as PDF and stored permanently against the asset, with the examiner and date recorded.
Yes. Every submitted report is stored permanently against the asset, with the examiner and the date recorded, which is exactly what an HSE inspector looks for. You can produce a complete examination history for any asset on request, in seconds.
