Mobile Plant Inspection Services Surrey

circles.png

From cherry pickers maintaining buildings in Guildford and Woking to MEWPs, HIABs and mobile cranes supporting infrastructure projects in Epsom, Redhill and Farnham, mobile plant is an essential part of Surrey’s construction and industrial activity. Because this equipment moves between sites and often works in demanding conditions, it must be inspected regularly under LOLER (Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations 1998) and PUWER (Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998) to stay safe and compliant.

​

At Excel Inspection Solutions, we deliver mobile plant inspections across Surrey. Our qualified engineer surveyors cover all major towns including Guildford, Woking, Epsom, Redhill, Dorking and Farnham, carrying out thorough inspections in accordance with HSE standards.

What mobile plant requires inspection in Surrey?

Any equipment in East Sussex that lifts people or loads is subject to LOLER or PUWER regulations. We inspect:

  • MEWPs (mobile elevating work platforms) used on East Sussex construction and maintenance projects

  • Cherry pickers for building, electrical and facilities work in Brighton, Eastbourne and Hastings

  • Vehicle-mounted lifting arms and HIABs used by transport and logistics firms across the county

  • Lorry loaders and truck-mounted cranes operating in Lewes, Newhaven and Eastbourne

  • Spider lifts providing compact access in tight or restricted locations

  • Mobile cranes supporting construction, marine and port operations in East Sussex

  • Work platforms mounted on vans or trucks for roadside and utilities work

LOLER inspections are required every 6 months for equipment lifting people or every 12 months for general lifting equipment.

How LOLER applies to mobile equipment in Surrey

LOLER requires mobile lifting equipment in Surrey to be:

​

  • Thoroughly examined at set intervals

  • Inspected by a competent person

  • Removed from service if found unsafe

​

Because Surrey’s mobile plant is frequently transported between construction sites, warehouses and commercial premises, regular inspections are essential to detect issues such as wear, corrosion or hydraulic faults. Each inspection includes a digital LOLER report with photographs and compliance details.
