Sectors We Work In
Lifting Compliance by Sector
The regulations are the same everywhere. What changes is the plant you run, who carries the duty, and what it costs you to take equipment out of service. These pages cover the sectors we have genuine experience in.
Healthcare & NHS Estates
Hospital lifting equipment cannot simply be taken out of service for a morning. Theatre access, bed transfer and mortuary routes all depend on plant that is also legally required to be examined on a six-monthly cycle. We schedule around clinical demand rather than against it.
Healthcare & NHS complianceFacilities Management
An FM provider carries the duty-holder's compliance risk across sites it does not own, on equipment it did not specify. The practical problem is rarely a single examination — it is holding a consistent standard and a single schedule across a portfolio.
Facilities Management complianceLogistics & Warehousing
A distribution operation measures downtime in cases per hour. Fleet thorough examination is unavoidable, so the question is how few trucks are off the floor at once and how quickly a defect turns into a decision.
Logistics & Warehousing complianceCommercial Property
In a managed building, the duty to examine lifting equipment sits with whoever has control of it — and that is frequently disputed between freeholder, managing agent and tenant until something goes wrong. Getting the examination right is the straightforward part; getting the duty-holder position right matters just as much.
Commercial Property complianceConstruction & Engineering
Site plant moves, gets reassembled and changes hands mid-project — and each of those events can trigger a statutory examination in its own right, separately from the six- or twelve-month cycle. On construction sites, a relocation is one of the most commonly missed triggers.
Construction complianceManufacturing & Industrial
A production site is the one place where LOLER and PUWER genuinely overlap on the shop floor. Overhead cranes and slings sit under LOLER; power presses, guillotines, press brakes, woodworking machinery and abrasive wheels sit under PUWER — and only one of those two regimes is widely understood.
Manufacturing complianceRetail & Shopping Centres
A shopping centre runs vertical transport as a trading asset. Taking a passenger lift or an escalator out of service on a Saturday is not a maintenance decision, it is a revenue one — and the inspection dates do not move to suit the trading calendar.
Retail complianceHotels & Leisure
A hotel cannot close a lift at check-out. It also runs a class of lifting equipment most estates teams never think of as lifting equipment at all — the dumbwaiter between kitchen and restaurant, and the hoist at the side of the pool.
Hotels & Leisure complianceResidential Blocks & Managing Agents
In a block of flats the lift is how people get home. Residents who cannot manage the stairs depend on it, and the six-monthly examination falls to whoever controls the common parts: a managing agent, a freeholder, a residents' management company or a right-to-manage company. We examine the lift, send the report the same day with photographs, and remind you before the next one is due.
Residential Blocks complianceCare Homes
Almost everything that lifts in a care home lifts a person: the passenger lift, patient hoists, bath hoists, stairlifts and their slings. That puts all of it on the six-monthly LOLER cycle. We examine it together on one visit, work around care routines, send the reports the same day with photographs, and remind you before the next round is due. Mark is enhanced DBS checked.
Care Homes complianceWork in a sector that isn't listed? The duty under LOLER 1998 and PUWER 1998 doesn't change with the industry — these are simply the ones we can point to real work in. Call the office and we'll tell you straight whether your plant is something we examine.
