Hoist Servicing & Loler Inspections
Moving & Handling Servicing
Routine Pre Use Checks
Simple checks before each transfer make a real difference.
Caregivers should confirm:
- Brakes and castors are working correctly
- The battery is sufficiently charged
- Slings and attachments are suitable for the user
- All fittings are secure and correctly positioned
These quick checks help prevent avoidable issues and keep equipment performing consistently between professional inspections.
Loler Thorough Examination
All DDC lifting equipment meets ISO 10535:2021 standards for transferring people with disabilities. To stay UK-compliant, hoists require a Thorough Examination every six months under LOLER, covering:
- Structural integrity
- Lifting mechanisms, actuators and motors
- Control systems and overall performance
Compliance ensures safety for users, peace of mind for caregivers, and confidence for facilities.
Maintenance That Protects Your Investment
Inspections are only part of the picture. Ongoing maintenance keeps equipment working as it should.
During Thorough Examinations, our engineers will:
- Lubricate moving parts and wheels
- Check battery condition and charging systems
- Make adjustments where required
- Identify early signs of wear
This reduces downtime, prevents unexpected breakdowns and extends the lifespan of your lift system.
