Safe and efficient lifting for workplace tasks.

Work assist lifts are compact lifting devices used in warehouses, factories, and retail environments to help staff lift, position, or retrieve goods safely. Under the Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations 1998 (LOLER), work assist lifts must have regular thorough examinations by a competent person to ensure safe and compliant operation.

LOLER Requirements for Work Assist Lifts

• Frequency: At least every 6 months if used to lift people, or every 12 months for goods-only use.

• Inspector: Must be a competent person — independent, qualified, and experienced.

• Records: Keep LOLER reports and address defects promptly.
