LOLER inspection assistance

LOLER Inspection Assistance – Nationwide Lifts Can Help You

At Nationwide Lift Service, we can provide you with LOLER inspection assistance. We work in collaboration with a third-party insurance company that can complete your LOLER inspections on our behalf, which helps the continuity of an excellent level of service. We have worked closely with this insurance company for many years, and they are reliable. We are sure, with this insurance company, that your LOLER inspections are done to a high standard.

The Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations 1998 often shortened to LOLER have stringent regulations for the safe and efficient use of any lifting equipment. LOLER inspections are required every 6 months on passenger lifts and every 12 months on goods lifts. These are legal requirements that must be followed to the letter, otherwise penalties may occur.

We have looked after lifts for well over 30 years and have vast experience in sectors such as care homes, retail companies, councils, private hospitals, colleges, and schools. Throughout our time in service, we have built a reputation of being exceptional with customers, and we have also been recognised for our efficient method of working. We have also been efficient at providing LOLER inspection assistance.

We work around the clock to ensure your lifts are up to shape. Furthermore, we are 24/7 and all calls go to one of our staff members, rather than a call centre. Due to this, you are always going to be speaking to someone within the company. We also offer tailor-made quotes and service, as a one-size-fits-all approach is something we don’t believe in.

If you require a reliable lift supplier for your business, look no further. If you are having difficulties, please get in touch with us.

Glass Lift

Glass Lift Refurbishment – Case Study

This week we finished a glass lift refurbishment project for a national retail store. We look after the client’s lift portfolio throughout the UK doing all types of lift repairs, lift refurbishments, breakdowns and lift maintenance.

What we did on site

Glass Lift Door Overhaul

During our time working on the lift refurbishment, we upgraded the door operator to an L&L which allowed the doors to run smoothly and more efficiently. We also replaced the lift door locks and rollers, giving the client piece of mind without major upheaval.

Control Panel Replaced

We replaced the control panel to a more modern and efficient lift control system with LIMAX levelling and great diagnostics for our engineers on site. The glass lift will now run in a much more reliable manner. All components we replace are open protocol and manufactured in the UK.

Benefits Of Getting Your Lift Refurbished

Saving money in the long run – Old lifts are a lot more likely to breakdown, and the older it gets, the more it will breakdown, costing you more money in the long run and lots of downtime. If a lift is over 15 years old, we recommend getting your lift refurbished.

More eco-friendly – Lift refurbishments are more eco-friendly as opposed to a new lift replacement, as you only replace the main components. This saves throwing away lots of components and parts, which is better on the environment.

Minimal Disruption for Your Business – This type of lift project causes less disruption; instead of dealing with the hassle of taking the lift out and putting a new one in, we simply replace the key components and parts. Delivery time is between 2 and 4 weeks.

Quick to install – We can normally get a lift upgraded within one to two weeks, ensuring reduced downtime in comparison to new lifts (typically 8 weeks).

Care Home In Crewe – Case Study

This week we finished a lift refurbishment project for a care home in Crewe. It is always nice to get positive feedback BUT from a independent lift tester that can be golden. In Carl’s words “that was a perfect job and really neat and tidy”. Great work from Ted and Jay on site and we have a very happy client with a very reliable lift now.

What we did on site

Hydraulic Systems Upgraded

During our time working on the lift refurbishment, we upgraded the complete hydraulic system to ensure the lift ran smoothly, safely and more efficient. We replaced the hydraulic tank, pump, valve block, oil and ram seals.

Control Panel Replaced

We replaced the control panel to a more modern and efficient lift control system with LIMAX levelling and great diagnostics for our engineers on site. The lift will now run in a much more reliable manner. All components we replace are open protocol and sourced in the UK.
