Looking for some clarificiation, whe currently have a wheelset frame 2.5 T that has forklift pockets, is there a legal requirement to have to have this statutory, and what will this ideally fall under  LOLER - Regulation 8(2) of LOLER defines a lifting operation as 'an operation concerned with the lifting or lowering of a load'

or PUWER Work equipment

Depends on what you risk assess with regards to lifting plans etc as that can depend on what you are doing (See below link). Anything lifting, requires a LOLER inspection. My interpretation is that anything not lifting people (Ie a fork lift) should be 12monthly. If lifting people then 6montly and more frequent depending on use (Recommended/Guidance). 

Look at this link and see if it helps https://www.hse.gov.uk/pubns/priced/l117.pdf

I would also say it would come under PUWER (Following manufact guidelines, General inspection etc) 

Also check this site to see if it helps; https://www.hse.gov.uk/work-equipment-machinery/planning-organising-lifting-operations.htm

Sorry if it is not what you are looking for.
