It is well know that it is a legal requirment of the Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations 1998 (LOLER) that any lifting equipment used at work for lifting and lowering loads must be thoroughly examined before lifting equipment is used for the first time and at periods specified in the regulations (ie at least 6-monthly for accessories and at a minimum of annually for all other equipment). All examintaion work should be performed by a competent person and following a thorough examination or inspection a report submitted by the competent person to the employer of the person using the lifting equipment, to take the appropriate action.

Lifting equipment includes any equipment used at work for lifting and lowering loads, including attachments used for anchoring, fixing or supporting it. Therefore gantries and supporting steelwork are also required to be thoroughly examined at a minimum period of annually.

This is a service Granada Cranes & Handling are able to offer whereby a competent and experienced technician will attend site and carry out a thorough examination/inspection of the gantry and supporting steelwork. Following completion of this examination a report is compiled, from which a quotation for any necessary repairs is calculated and a copy of each sent to the customer.
