Posted By GavinR Hi Guys, Been looking through the LOLER ACOP to see if Scissor Lift Tables are covered by LOLER requirements. I can't decide from the examples listed. Has anyone covered this before? I'm thinkin of adding it to our insurance inspections but i want to know if this is a LOLER requirement incase i need to justify it. For some reason i have a niggling doubt in my head from the past that it isn't??? Cheers.

Posted By mike morland Gavin Regulation 2 of LOLER gives the interpretation of 'lifting equipment' as 'work equipment for lifting and lowering loads'. The ACOP confirms this equipment, amongst others, as: - (a) a passenger lift in an office block (b) a rope and pulley used to raise a bucket of cement on a building site (c) a dumb waiter in a restaurant or hotel (d) a vacuum lifting crane (e) a vehicle inspection hoist (f) a scissor lift Regards Mike

Posted By Penfold Sorry, just re-read the question. If it's for lifting goods, it's 12 months. Your insurers should give you the answers
