LOLER software for lifting inspection companies
Your inspectors complete thorough examinations on a phone. The Schedule 1 report is ready before they reach the next item, and your customers get their certificates without calling the office.
LolerFlow is LOLER inspection software built for companies that examine lifting equipment for their customers. Inspectors record each thorough examination on a phone, LolerFlow produces the report with the information Schedule 1 of LOLER requires, and every customer, site and asset sits in one register with its next due date. The same app covers PUWER inspections and 6 monthly MEWP examinations, so one visit can cover everything on a customer's site.

What does a LOLER report need to include?
LOLER Schedule 1 lists 11 items every thorough examination report must contain. These include the name and address of the duty holder, details that identify the equipment, the date of the examination, the safe working load, any defect that is or could become a danger, and the date of the next examination. Regulation 10 says the report must be made "as soon as is practicable", and any defect that is a danger must be reported to the duty holder straight away. There is no 28 day deadline in LOLER. That figure comes from other regulations and is often quoted wrongly. Where you also inspect work equipment under PUWER Regulation 6, the result must be recorded and kept until the next inspection.

Frequently asked questions
What is the best LOLER software for inspection companies?
The best fit depends on how you work. Look for software built around LOLER rather than a general inspection app, reports that cover all 11 Schedule 1 items, a full equipment register for each customer, and a link to your job system. LolerFlow does all four, works with Simpro and charges one flat monthly rate for unlimited users.
Can LolerFlow produce LOLER thorough examination reports?
Yes. Every completed examination produces a report with the information LOLER Schedule 1 requires, including equipment identification, safe working load, defects found and the date of the next examination. You can download it as a PDF and send it to your customer.
Can I use my own report template?
Yes. LolerFlow comes with 27 templates. You can copy any of them, change the questions and wording, and choose which templates your team sees.
Does LolerFlow work with Simpro?
Yes. You connect your Simpro account in Settings and can find any inspection job by its Simpro job number. Your office keeps scheduling in Simpro.
How do I move my existing records into LolerFlow?
You can import customers, sites, locations and assets from a spreadsheet. We help with larger moves from other systems.
How much does LolerFlow cost?
One flat monthly rate with unlimited users and every feature included. There is a 30 day free trial and no card is needed to start. See pricing.
