- The language used within laws, such as The Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations (LOLER) 1998, can be a little confusing for some.
This series of five videos is to break down some of the key requirements of LOLER 1998, and provide some explanation, to make them easier to understand for those working within lifting operations.
The videos will be helpful to Lifting Operations Managers, Appointed Persons, Crane Supervisors, Slinger-Signallers (Riggers) and Crane Operators.
This is video #3 of 5 - Thorough Examination

Thank you so much, i learnt alot
wonderful yet simple explanation
Thank you very much Shamim - I appreciate it. Let me know if I can support you in any way with what you do.
Some company they require to provide 10 year lifting history and 10 year examination records, but that seems impossible to provide, in that case is there any validation from Loler or BS standarf to make 10 year old mobile crane qualify to use for lifting work..
Great informative mini series. Thanks. I have a question? What reporting information guidance would you suggest following for completing a report after a thorough examination? The requirements of the information contained under Schedule 1 of LOLER or the LEEA032? Or are they one and the same? Would they both satisfy the requirements of Regulation 10? thanks
Hi Lynsey...thanks for your comment and question.
Schedule 1 to Regulation 10 of LOLER 1998 is the legal requirement on the minimum information that must be in a report of thorough examination - so you're best to go with that.
LEEA 032 is guidance on setting up the overall examination scheme, rather than what information is needed in a report.
Thankyou so much you have a really gift on how you explain it very well, sequentially, and easy to understand..Not all people like that even they are knowledgeable. I have 9ne question, regarding the subject, how about the 10 year old mobile crane, is there any special thorough examination other than 6 or 12 month to be able to qualify for use.
Some company requires to submit the record of 10 year lifting history, 10 year record of examination, but ot seems this requirement is impossible to attain, is there any validation in accordance with Loler or BS standard.?
LOLER does state that examination records are to be kept for equipment for as long as its within the possession or use of a particular employer.
In the case of older cranes, the examination scheme may specify that they are to be examined more frequently.
The competent person may also deem it necessary to carry out load testing, non-destructive testing, or both.
@@InspHigher Thankyou so much Kevin for your helpful reply. One thing also which not specify clearly is about the load testing, as you mentioned already that there is no gain benefits for overload testing, however for the case that it dictates by the local organization guidelines and british standard to overload test the crane by "1.1xRated capacity"
Since a Crane has so many rated capacity depending on crane configurations (boom length, working radius etc.) If i will lift a load of 1500Tons, normally it is not cost practical to produce load test weight 1.1xrated capacity, in this case is it still valid if I will load test by 1.1xRated capacity at any selected working radius? means does not necessarily load test by the same working radius that I will use to lift the 1500 tons load..
