Our Customers Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
MW Lift Services delivers comprehensive LOLER Examinations and LOLER Inspections across the UK. Our experts are committed to ensuring that every lift—whether passenger, goods, service, platform, or bespoke—complies fully with the Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations 1998 (LOLER).
A LOLER Examination is a mandatory safety inspection required under the Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations 1998. It involves a thorough check of your lift equipment by a competent, impartial person to ensure it’s safe for use and legally compliant.
Any dutyholder responsible for a lift used in a workplace, public building, or commercial setting in Redditch must ensure the lift is LOLER compliant. This includes business owners, building managers, landlords, and care providers.
Passenger and platform lifts carrying people: every 6 months
Goods-only lifts and service lifts: every 12 months
After installation, relocation, or incident: immediate inspection required
Not always. However, if your home lift is used by carers, staff, or maintenance workers, it’s classed as work equipment and falls under LOLER. In these cases, a 6-monthly inspection is required.
We inspect all lift types, including:
Passenger lifts
Platform lifts
Home lifts (where applicable)
Goods lifts
Service lifts (dumbwaiters)
Evacuation lifts
Stairlifts (if used in work/public settings)
Only a competent person—someone with the necessary skills, knowledge, and impartiality—can legally perform LOLER Examinations. They must be independent of your regular maintenance provider to avoid conflicts of interest.
Defects are classified into categories:
Category A: Serious; lift must be taken out of service immediately
Category B or C: Minor or advisory; rectification should occur before the next due inspection
You’ll receive a report outlining all actions required.
No. Routine lift servicing ensures proper functioning, while LOLER inspections are legal compliance checks focused solely on safety. Both are necessary and should be scheduled separately.
You’ll receive a LOLER report including:
Lift identification and location
Date of inspection and next due date
Any defects found
Confirmation of whether the lift is safe to use
Inspector credentials and signature
