THOROUGH EXAMINATIONS
Get LOLER and PUWER certified
A Thorough Examination is a statutory requirement for lifting equipment under the Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations 1998 (LOLER 98), Regulation 9. It has the same purpose as an MOT inspection by providing a report, which identifies that the lifting equipment is safe to use, and/or advice that needs to be followed to avoid risks in use. It is just as important as an MOT – probably more so!
There is a legal requirement for a Thorough Examination to be carried out on forklift trucks at least once a year, and often more frequently, depending on conditions of use.
All Thorough Examinations are carried out by a qualified engineer/examiner.

CUSTOMER FEEDBACK
They know their stuff, fair pricing and a pleasure to deal with. Nothing is too much trouble so if you want a reliable company to look after you, look no further.
Great service from Kraig and the team. We needed help when we moved to a bigger factory and Kraig sorted out our problems. Couldn’t have asked for more. Thanks!
Fantastic service from everyone at Forklift and Access, very knowledgeable and experienced engineers who give an honest assessment and go above and beyond to get your machinery working again.
Fantastic service, Kraig and Peter fixed our truck when no one else could. The bigger the problem the bigger the challenge.
The customer service over the phone is brilliant, I was called a few times just to make sure the truck was still running ok.
Really brilliant company. I found them through a Google search and they have been absolutely fantastic every time we have used them. We have had repairs and servicing through here now…I cannot fault anything thank you for always being such a pleasure to deal with at work!
Called this morning to see about a burst pipe on a manitou, 30mins later Kraig was with us, had the machine sorted and back to work within the hour at a great price!
We recently purchased two 2-ton Toyota forklifts from Forklift and Access, and we couldn’t be happier with the quality and performance. The machines are solid, reliable, and exactly what we needed for our operations.
I am the Supervisor at Plastic Furniture Company Gateshead and today we received our new 2.5 tonne Cesab forklift from Forklifts and Access.
We are very happy with the truck and the service provided.
