Steve,

FLT's are covered under both. If lifting under LOLER, towing or anyhting else under PUWER.

FLT can be fitted with attachments for working platforms (not ideal but can be used) in which case 6 monthly.

Otherwise as per LOLER but six monthly for all lifting tackle.

PUWER will cover the daily inspection before use, maintenance intervals/regimes etc.

FLT's come under both, yes, but LOLER takes precedence.
