LOLER & PUWER Forklift Inspections

Keeping your forklifts compliant is just as important as keeping them operational. At DW Mechanical Handling, we provide professional LOLER inspections and PUWER inspections for businesses throughout Harlow, Essex and the surrounding areas, helping ensure your equipment remains safe, compliant and fit for everyday use.

Our experienced engineers carry out thorough forklift LOLER inspection and forklift PUWER inspection services for gas, diesel and electric forklifts. Whether you operate a single truck or an entire fleet, we’ll help you meet your legal responsibilities while reducing the risk of unexpected downtime.

What Are LOLER & PUWER Inspections?

The Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations (LOLER) and the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations (PUWER) place legal responsibilities on employers to ensure lifting equipment is safe to use and maintained correctly.

A professional forklift safety inspection helps identify worn or damaged components before they become a safety risk, while a forklift compliance inspection provides confidence that your equipment is operating in line with current regulations.

Regular inspections also help protect operators, minimise unplanned breakdowns and support the ongoing reliability of your equipment.

Our Forklift Inspection Service

Our comprehensive forklift inspection service includes a detailed forklift examination carried out by experienced engineers with extensive knowledge of mechanical handling equipment.

During every lifting equipment inspection, we carefully assess the condition and operation of your forklift, identifying any defects or issues that require attention. Where repairs are needed, our engineers can advise on the most appropriate course of action to help return your equipment to a safe working condition.

Whether you require a single forklift certification inspection or inspections across an entire fleet, we provide a dependable and professional service tailored to your business.

Supporting Safe Forklift Operations

Regular inspections are only one part of maintaining a safe workplace. Alongside LOLER and PUWER inspections, we provide practical forklift safety advice to help businesses understand their ongoing responsibilities and keep equipment operating safely.

Where appropriate, we can also offer forklift training advice, helping employers identify when refresher training or additional operator training may benefit their workforce.
