By integrating rigorous testing and certification services with our bespoke design and manufacturing expertise, we provide our customers with peace of mind that their equipment is reliable, fit for purpose and fully compliant with regulatory requirements such as the Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations 1998 (LOLER).
Our testing equipment and facilities allow us to carry out proof load testing at our site in Ellistown (Leicestershire), or on customer sites around the UK. Combined with our in-house workshop, we are also able to repair and manufacture components or complete pieces of equipment.
Some examples of items requiring testing include:
- Lifting Beams
- Overhead Cranes and Jibs
- Forklift Attachments
- Axle and Storage Stands
Our testing and certification services include:
Load Testing: Verifying equipment’s strength and capacity under working
and maximum load conditions.
Functional Testing: Confirming that lifting equipment operates as intended
under real working conditions.
Safety Inspections: Identifying potential hazards and ensuring compliance
with LOLER safety standards.
Certification: Providing customers with legally required documentation,
including safe working load (SWL) certificates and detailed inspection
reports.
On-Site Testing Services: Offering flexibility and minimising disruption by
conducting tests at the customer’s location where required.
Customer Benefits of Testing and Certification

legal obligations under LOLER and other regulations.
Operational Efficiency: Reliable equipment minimises downtime and
ensures smooth operations.
Reduced Liability: Properly certified equipment protects businesses
from legal and financial risks associated with non-compliance or
accidents.
Extended Equipment Lifespan: Regular testing and certification
identifies issues early, helping to prolong the lifespan of equipment.
