When it comes to lifting heavy loads at work, safety is paramount. While regulations and legislation may not hold much popularity, they make working environments far safer – and that’s always a good thing. Lorry loader cranes present clear hazards to personal safety, so you must follow industry guidelines to ensure yours remain safe to use. By following the recommended crane repairs and servicing, you give yourself and your employees complete peace of mind.
Based in Walton-on-Thames, South East Cranes has the resources and manpower to meet the needs of clients in the West Midlands, the West Country, and beyond, offering everything from HIAB testing to spare parts.
The differing aspects of repairs, servicing, and maintenance all fall under the Health and Safety at Work Act. There is also some crossover with LOLER testing, though this particular test is different from a crane service.
Below, we have outlined what you need to know to keep your lorry loader cranes in safe, optimal condition.
If your business uses lorry loader cranes in a working environment, you must ensure they are maintained to keep them safe. In turn, this safeguards you, your employees, your site visitors, and the general public who pass by your work site.
