From mobile cranes supporting construction and infrastructure projects to vehicle mounted lifting equipment used across logistics, maintenance and public sector work, mobile plant plays a vital role across Thanet. Because this equipment travels between sites and is exposed to demanding working conditions, regular inspection under LOLER (Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations 1998) and PUWER (Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998) is essential to maintain safety and compliance.

​

At Excel Inspection Solutions, we provide mobile plant inspections across Thanet. Our engineer surveyors cover Margate, Ramsgate, Broadstairs and surrounding towns, delivering thorough and HSE-compliant inspections wherever your equipment is in use.
