LOLER for tail lift on personal HGV

[CraigAuk]

Hello all,

Figured this one might be best posted here. I have just purchased a 7.5T HGV for motorsport transport use, private only for my own use. (Not for hire/reward).

It has a nice Anteo tail lift that I thought might benefit from a service to check it's all working as expected. The service center have sent some pricing and the following info:

Thanks for your enquiry,

Please see the below Prices as requested,

Service, Loler and Weigh test Inspections:- £147.00 – Yearly,
Service, and Loler Inspection:- £102.00 - 6 Monthly

Just to make you aware the lift needs to be Loler inspected every 6 months by Law,

If you have any questions or need anything else please let me know,


Does the 6 monthly Loler inspection (which I'd never heard of until now - although I'm not in the HGV game!) apply when this is purely for my own personal use, not for corporate, etc?

Please note, I'm not adverse to having all the right stuff done - but as the lift will be used 40-50 cycles max per year, I was planning on a yearly service and not 6 monthly (unless needed by law as per above)

Ta!

Craig

Hi all,

Thanks for your help. I'll definitely get it serviced, much appreciated!

red_slr - It's not specifically adapted for car lifting, but i'll be using it like the last 2 owners, which is:
Tail lift down slightly and tilted down at a droop. Aluminium ramps attached to end of tail lift bed, with axle stands under each corner of the lift. Car can then be winched up (or driven if brave).

The lift could *probably* lift my Caterham but it's not worth stressing it IMHO as it's not been designed for this. Plus it works nicely in the fashion above.
