Scissor Lift LOLER Inspections and SMAs
A LOLER inspection involves a detailed examination of lifting equipment, such as scissor lifts, to ensure it is safe, functional, and fit for purpose.
The inspection covers all key aspects of the cherry picker scissor lift, including:
Structural Integrity: Inspecting the scissor lift’s framework to ensure it is secure and intact.
Safe Operation: Verifying the proper function of all operations, including emergency lowering systems.
Wear and Tear: Assessing whether components are within acceptable limits and free from defects.
Compliance: Ensuring the scissor lift meets the legal requirements, such as the CE mark.

Key areas covered during a scissor lift LOLER examination include:
Scissor Pack: The scissor pack is inspected to verify the metalwork is intact and all bolts and nuts are correctly fitted.
Outriggers: For larger scissor lifts, outriggers are checked for stability and structural soundness.
Tyres/Wheels: Tyres are examined to confirm sufficient tread depth, preventing sliding.
Hydraulic Systems: The hydraulic system is checked for leaks, damaged hoses, failed seals, and exposed wires.
Deck Condition: The deck is inspected for wear and tear, including fall protection measures like guard rails and harness anchor points. The platform’s safe working load is also verified.
Guards/Safety Locks/Interlocks: Locks and safety systems that prevent operation if faults are detected are thoroughly tested.
Control Switches: Control switches are checked to ensure they function correctly, including safe lowering of the platform.
