LolerFlow for your industry

Every industry lifts, moves and uses different equipment. Here is how LolerFlow keeps all of it inspected, in date and on record, the way your industry works.

In short

LOLER applies to every workplace that uses lifting equipment, not just lifting firms. The intervals are the same everywhere: 6 months for equipment that lifts people and for lifting accessories, 12 months for everything else. What changes from one industry to the next is the equipment, where it lives and who needs to see the records. PUWER applies alongside it to the same equipment and to everything else you use at work, so most sites need both sets of records.

Questions

Questions about LolerFlow and your industry

Does LOLER apply to my industry?

Yes, if you use lifting equipment at work. LOLER 1998 applies to every workplace that uses lifting equipment, from a care home hoist to an offshore crane. The intervals are the same everywhere: 6 months for equipment that lifts people and for lifting accessories, 12 months for other lifting equipment. What changes is the equipment and who needs to see the records.

Does PUWER apply as well?

Yes. PUWER 1998 applies to all work equipment, including lifting equipment. LOLER covers the thorough examination of lifting equipment. PUWER covers suitability, maintenance, inspection and training for all work equipment, including the non-lifting parts of lifting equipment. A forklift, for example, is under LOLER for its mast and forks and PUWER for its brakes, steering and tyres. Conveyors, presses and racking are PUWER only. See PUWER inspection software and MEWP inspection software.

Is LolerFlow only for inspection companies?

No. It is used by inspection firms that examine equipment for their customers, and by companies that own the equipment, such as hire firms, fleets, factories, warehouses and care providers. The same register and the same reports work for both.

Can one account cover several sites or depots?

Yes. Every site, depot, vessel or care home is a site in LolerFlow, with its own locations and assets. One dashboard shows what is due across all of them, and each site manager can see their own.

My industry is not listed. Can I still use LolerFlow?

Yes. The industry pages show how LolerFlow fits common situations, but the register, templates and reports work for any lifting or work equipment. Book a demo and we will show you with your own equipment.
