Are Stillages Subject to LOLER? Here’s What You Need to Know.

LOLER - the Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations 1998, exist to make sure all lifting equipment in the UK is safe, properly maintained, and used correctly.

So, where do stillages fit in?
It depends on how they’re used 👇

🔹 Stillages as part of the load:
When a stillage is simply a platform used to move goods (e.g. lifted by a forklift), it’s treated as part of the load, not as lifting equipment. In this case, LOLER applies to the forklift, not the stillage.

🔹 Stillages as lifting accessories:
If a stillage is designed with dedicated lifting points, slings, or hooks for use with cranes or hoists, it’s classed as lifting equipment and therefore subject to LOLER.
These stillages require thorough examination, inspection, and maintenance to remain compliant and safe.

At JS Burgess Engineering, we design and manufacture stillages that meet the highest safety and compliance standards.

🏗️ Metal Stillages vs Wooden Pallets – Built for the Long Haul

While wooden pallets have their place, metal stillages deliver durability, efficiency, and sustainability that wood simply can’t match.

Here’s why more industries are making the switch 👇

✅ Stronger & longer-lasting – built to handle heavy or irregular loads without splitting, warping, or collapsing.
✅ Safer handling – stable stacking and secure containment reduce workplace injuries and product damage.
✅ Space-saving – many designs are stackable or demountable, helping you maximise floor and vertical space.
✅ Low lifetime cost – metal stillages can last 10+ years with minimal maintenance, compared to frequent wooden pallet replacements.
✅ Cleaner & more sustainable – no splinters, rot, or contamination, and fully recyclable at end of life.
✅ Custom-engineered – tailored sizes, load ratings, and finishes to suit your materials and handling systems.

From manufacturing to logistics, construction to retail, metal stillages are helping businesses move smarter, safer, and more efficiently - reducing waste and improving ROI over time.
