Types of Lorry Loader Testing

You must have your lorry loader cranes tested on a periodic basis as follows:
  • Every 6 months for lowering/lifting equipment

  • Every 6 months for any lifting accessory

  • Every 6 months for cranes used to lift people

  • Every 12 months for every other crane

Lifting accessories include grabs, chains and slings. Lowering and lifting equipment includes passenger lifts, access platforms and window cleaning apparatus.
In addition to the above, you must also schedule crane testing:
  • Before the first use

  • When you change a lorry’s chassis

  • If you remove and refit the original chassis

  • Following the replacement or repair of a structural component

Once put into service, your lorry loader vehicle requires a full test after 4 and 8 years of use. The latter also includes a non-destructive test of structure.
By fulfilling your lorry loader testing requirements, you meet all relevant Health & Safety regulations.
While the bulk of our work comes in the commercial sector, we can also cover testing needs for domestic customers too.
