When was your lifting equipment last inspected? 🔍

Regular inspection of lifting equipment isn’t just about meeting legal requirements. It’s about keeping people safe, identifying potential problems and preventing costly equipment failures.

Under the Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations 1998 (LOLER), lifting equipment must undergo thorough examination by a competent person at specified intervals.

As a general guide:

🔹 Every 6 months – Lifting accessories and equipment used to lift people.

🔹 Every 12 months – Other lifting equipment, including overhead cranes and hoists.

🔹 Alternatively – In accordance with a written scheme of examination drawn up by a competent person.

Why are inspections so important?

✅ Safety – Identify wear, damage and defects before they lead to accidents.

✅ Compliance – Help ensure your business meets its legal obligations under LOLER.

✅ Reliability – Detect developing issues before they result in unexpected equipment failures.

✅ Reduced downtime – Address potential problems before they cause costly operational disruptio.

At Hoist UK, our experienced engineers provide thorough examinations and inspections of cranes, hoists and lifting equipment, helping businesses maintain safe and compliant lifting operations.

Do you know what this symbol means?

You may have seen the distinctive hexagonal ‘Ex’ marking on lifting equipment, but its significance isn’t always understood.

Known as the specific explosion protection marking, this symbol identifies equipment intended for use in potentially explosive atmospheres, commonly referred to as ATEX environments.

These are areas where flammable gases, vapours, mists or combustible dusts could create an explosive atmosphere under certain conditions.

At Hoist UK, we can supply explosion-protected hoists and lifting equipment configured to meet the specific requirements of hazardous working environments.

Different businesses have different lifting and handling requirements, and sometimes an off the shelf solution simply doesn’t work.

That’s where bespoke design and manufacture comes in.

At Hoist UK, we can work closely with customers to design and manufacture custom tooling and handling solutions around their specific application.

Where required, this can include developing prototypes, trialling designs and making adjustments before the final product is manufactured, helping to ensure the solution works effectively within the customer’s actual working environment.

Whether it’s a modification to an existing concept or something completely bespoke, our in house design and manufacturing capabilities allow us to develop practical solutions around the way your business operates.

Because sometimes the right solution isn’t sitting on a shelf. It needs to be designed for you.

The VERLINDE VF wire rope hoist range offers a choice of traditional steel wire rope or Dyneema® high-performance fibre rope, allowing the hoist to be specified around the requirements of the lifting application.

Steel wire rope provides a proven and reliable solution for a wide range of industrial lifting applications, while Dyneema® fibre rope offers an alternative where reduced weight, easier handling and corrosion resistance can provide additional benefits.

With different capacities, lifting heights, speeds and configurations available, the VF range can be tailored to suit everything from standard overhead lifting applications to more specialised requirements.

Not sure which rope or hoist configuration is right for your application?

Speak to the Hoist UK team and we can help specify the right solution for your lifting requirements.
