Crane Inspection Services Surrey

circles.png

From tower cranes on developments in Guildford and Woking to mobile cranes supporting projects in Redhill, Epsom and Farnham, cranes are critical to Surrey’s construction and industrial sectors. These machines fall under the LOLER (Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations 1998), and regular inspections are required to ensure compliance, reduce downtime and protect people on site.

​

At Excel Inspection Solutions, we deliver LOLER-compliant crane inspections across Surrey. Our engineer surveyors cover all areas including Guildford, Woking, Epsom, Redhill, Farnham and beyond, ensuring cranes remain safe, efficient and fully compliant with HSE standards.

What cranes require inspection in Surrey?

LOLER requires cranes in Surrey to undergo a thorough examination by a competent person at set intervals:

  • Every 12 months for general lifting equipment

  • Every 6 months if the crane is used to lift people

​

Our Surrey crane inspections include:

  • Tower cranes on construction projects in Guildford and Woking

  • Gantry cranes in industrial units across Redhill and Epsom

  • Overhead travelling cranes in warehouses and factories throughout the county

  • Smoother insurance claims and audit processes
