Thorough Examinations ensure that your equipment is safe to use and cover legislation as set out in LOLER 1998 and PUWER 1998. Having Acclaim carry out inspections, means you can rest assured that your equipment is suitable for work and that you have fulfilled your legal responsibility. Remember thorough examinations are required throughout the lifetime of the equipment and regularly, whilst in service (every 6 or 12 months, depending on the equipment.

In the UK, If you own or operate a forklift, you are required by law to ensure that you hold records of thorough examinations carried out (Like a Forklift MOT). This also applies to forklifts on hire.
What happens if I don’t adhere to LOLER Regulations?
Failure to comply with LOLER regulations can leave you open to prosecution and could invalidate your insurance or much worse in the case of a serious accident arising from faulty equipment.
Fortunately, a comprehensive national scheme (Thorough Examinations) is available that complies fully with all current legislation and is supported by HSE.
