Load testing and LOLER inspection providers carry out the proof-load testing, thorough examination, and certification of a vessel's lifting appliances and lifting accessories — cranes, derricks, winches, slings, shackles, blocks, and other load-bearing gear — needed to keep that equipment in safe working condition.
This is a certification service rather than a supply of equipment, distinct from the crane and cargo-gear suppliers and the sling suppliers whose products these inspectors examine. Following a LOLER-style thorough-examination regime, inspectors apply a test load, check for deformation, wear, and defects, and issue a certificate recording the safe working load and next-due examination date. Because lifting gear cannot remain in service without current certification, buyers schedule inspections against each item's due date and keep certificates on file for class and port state control inspection. It sits within the Lifting, Cargo Gear & Load Testing category group on PortProcure.

Whether you are involved in construction, mining, manufacturing, or any other sector that requires heavy lifting, we are here to provide you with top-notch solutions.
How often must lifting equipment undergo a thorough examination?+
LOLER-style regimes typically call for a thorough examination at least every six months for lifting accessories such as slings and shackles, and for any gear used to lift people, and at least every twelve months for other lifting appliances such as cranes and derricks — or sooner if a written examination scheme or a significant repair calls for it. Buyers track each item against its own due date rather than a single fleet-wide interval.
What happens if an item fails its thorough examination?+
A defect that puts safety at risk means the inspector takes the item out of use immediately and records it on the certificate, rather than issuing a conditional pass. The equipment cannot legitimately return to service until it's repaired or replaced and re-examined, so buyers should treat a failed report as an immediate stop-use instruction, not a finding to schedule around at convenience.
Who is qualified to carry out a LOLER-style thorough examination?+
Examinations should be carried out by a suitably qualified, independent competent person, a distinct role from a general crane technician or rigger performing routine maintenance. Buyers confirm a provider's competency and accreditation scope before booking, since a certificate issued by an unqualified party won't satisfy a class surveyor or port state control officer reviewing the vessel's lifting-equipment records.
