Maintenance

Our team of field service engineers recognise regular preventative maintenance is key to ensuring safe and reliable equipment.

Regular, preventive maintenance should be scheduled in accordance with the recommendations of the manufacturer of your equipment. Guidance on this can be provided by Compact Fork Trucks. The time interval between the various services and inspections will vary according to the intensity of use and the working environment. Forklift trucks are regarded as “plant” for maintenance purposes and time intervals are recorded in hours. For convenience, Compact Fork Trucks will translate this into months for the purpose of determining the planned dates for maintenance activity.

Thorough Examination

Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations (LOLER)

What is Thorough Examination?

A Thorough Examination is a systematic and detailed examination of the lifting equipment by a competent person to detect any defects that are, or might become, dangerous.

A Thorough Examination is quite like an MOT test for a car or lorry. It is a legal requirement. A Thorough Examination is a statutory requirement for lifting equipment under the Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations 1998 (LOLER 98), Regulation 9. It has the same purpose as an MOT inspection by providing a report which identifies that the lifting equipment is safe to use, and/or advice that needs to be followed to avoid risks in use. It is just as important as an MOT – probably more so! There is a legal requirement for a Thorough Examination to be carried out on forklift trucks at least once a year, and often more frequently depending on conditions of use.

All Compact Fork Truck engineers are Thorough Examination (LOLER) certified.
