LOLER Inspections in Dudley & The Black Country

LOLER Inspections & Thorough Examinations | Dudley & The Black Country

Local LOLER inspections for plant hire, construction, transport, waste and manufacturing across Dudley, Stourbridge, Halesowen, Brierley Hill, Oldbury, Tipton and West Bromwich.

Your Local Black Country LOLER Inspector

We carry out LOLER inspections across Dudley and the Black Country from our workshop in the heart of the Black Country, from £90 + VAT per machine. As we're also a welding and engineering business, if anything needs attention we can repair it too, so you're back to work quickly.

Working locally every day along the M5 corridor, the Black Country Route and the A4123 means short travel times and flexible scheduling. Inspections are normally booked within 7 days, and your certificate is emailed to you the same day.

Whether you run a plant hire depot in Stourbridge, a fabrication workshop in Oldbury, a scrap or recycling yard in Tipton or a logistics yard in West Bromwich, we keep your lifting equipment safe, legal and working.

Inspected by People Who Repair This Equipment Every Day

The Black Country was built on engineering, and that's still what we do every day. We repair the same excavators, grabs and lorry loaders we inspect.

Your inspections are led by Joe, who spent 7 years with Hevilifts on major bridge-jacking, nuclear and refinery projects, and has years of experience repairing excavators, lorry loaders, grab lorries and hydraulic rams. He knows where lifting equipment wears, cracks and fails. Meet your inspector.
