Complete a full LOLER thorough examination in under 5 minutes on site. No paper, no re-entry, no back-office admin. Report ready the moment you submit.
Start free trial →An experienced LOLER inspector can assess 15 to 30 pieces of lifting equipment per day depending on equipment type, site layout, and travel time. At the upper end, a sling-heavy site with hundreds of lifting accessories might require even more individual assessments in a single visit. The examination itself, the physical assessment of the equipment, cannot be shortened without compromising the quality of the inspection and potentially the legal standing of the report. But the time spent on paperwork, report formatting, data entry, and emailing certificates absolutely can be.
For inspection companies running on tight margins, back-office administration time is dead time. An inspector who spends 45 minutes each evening typing up handwritten notes is not doing inspections. That time has a direct cost, either in overtime, in limiting daily inspection capacity, or in delaying report delivery to clients. Lolerflow eliminates back-office admin entirely: the examination report is generated at the moment of submission, on site, while the inspector still has the equipment in front of them.
Importantly, speed does not come at the cost of compliance. LOLER Regulation 10 and Schedule 1 specify exactly what a thorough examination report must contain. Lolerflow's guided inspection form enforces every mandatory field, the inspection cannot be submitted with missing data. The speed gain comes from eliminating data re-entry, not from cutting corners on the examination itself.
High-volume lifting accessory inspections benefit most. A distribution warehouse with 300 slings, chains, and shackles requires individual examination of each item. On paper, this means 300 separate forms to complete and type up. With Lolerflow, each accessory has a QR code label, the inspector scans it, the asset record opens, they complete the guided form in under two minutes, and the report is generated instantly. For a 300-item accessory inspection, this difference can save three to four hours of admin per session.
Construction sites with multiple MEWPs, overhead cranes, and crane accessories are another high-volume use case. Inspection companies contracted to manage all lifting equipment on a large construction site might inspect dozens of assets in a single visit. The ability to complete each inspection in 3–5 minutes and have certificates immediately available for the principal contractor, rather than waiting for typed-up reports the following day, is a material competitive advantage.
Port operators and ship chandlers conducting cargo gear inspections face similar pressures: large numbers of diverse assets, tight vessel turnaround schedules, and the need for certificates before a ship can sail. Lolerflow's rapid inspection capability means the competent person can complete all examinations during the vessel's port call and have certificates available before departure.
