Frequently Asked Questions

Planned Maintenance and Service Agreement FAQ's

What can we repair maintain and inspect?

All powered access platforms (MEWPS, scissor lifts, booms, tracked booms, trailer mounts, PAV’s, Spiders, cherry pickers and materials lifts).

What other types of equipment do you inspect and/or maintain?

HLS provide mandatory inspection, thorough examination (LOLER) and repairs on a wide range of equipment including mobile elevating work platforms (MEWPS), steps, ladders and podium platforms, bespoke platforms, materials handling equipment and floor cleaning equipment.

How often do I need my equipment inspecting?

Under current Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations (LOLER 1998) powered access equipment and accessories that are used for lifting people must undergo a thorough examination at least every 6 months, or more frequent intervals determined by a competent individual as part of an examination scheme. Other lifting equipment such as materials lifts should be inspected every 12 months minimum.

What is the cost of planned maintenance and LOLER inspection?

The price depends on the complexity of your equipment, your location and the number of machines being inspected.

Are there costs saving benefits when having additional equipment inspected and maintained as part of a maintenance agreement?

Multi-equipment maintenance agreements attract cost saving discounts and allows you to fix your costs for the period of the agreement.

I would like to agree a fixed cost for my equipment maintenance over the next 36 months, is this possible?

Inspection and maintenance costs can be fixed for periods up to 60 months subject to purchase of a maintenance contract/agreement.

Useful Resources

LOLER also requires that all equipment used for lifting is fit for purpose, appropriate for the task, suitably marked and, in many cases, subject to statutory periodic 'thorough examination'. Records must be kept of all thorough examinations and any defects found must be reported to both the person responsible for the equipment and the relevant enforcing authority.
