Other than the standard 12 month thorough examination, does a FLT need to gain an ongoing certificate to state that say it can lift the required loads, as stated on the SWL plaque on the actual vehicle itself.
Or should this be covered in the thorough examination?
Thanks.

What other certificate would it have?
If your annual inspection, or any other check (we can assume you're doing daily / weekly checks) you do discovers that the FLT cannot lift its SWL, I suggest either replacing it or clearly marking the reduced SWL on the machine. All your drivers should be briefed, of course.
Alternatively, you could ask your insurance company for what sort of test regime they'd look for. If they've asked you to obtain a certificate you're not clear on, ask them to be more specific.
Hope that helps.

The Thorough Examination Certificate is evidence that the equipment is servicable to do the job designed for. Be mindful that although FLT Examination is 12 monthly... many attachments are 6 monthly. Thorough Examination is required in addition to recommended service intervals to ensure equipment is fit for purpose.
