By law, lifting equipment must be Thoroughly Examined at appropriate intervals (at least annually) to make sure it is safe to use – this includes lifting gear on forklift trucks. The Thorough Examination should always be carried out by a ‘competent’ person. At Agrimac North, all of our engineers are competent and we carry out Thorough Examinations on a daily basis for our customers.

You are responsible! Whether you own your forklift or simply hire it, the law demands you hold a current Report of Thorough Examination. You are responsible. You face the consequences of failing to comply, including the risk of prosecution, hefty fines and invalidated insurance cover.

A Thorough Examination is no place to cut corners. Which is why we keep up to date with the standards and training set by the HSE and deliver high quality standards that comply fully with both LOLER 98 and PUWER 98 legislations.
