Are Stillages subject to LOLER

LOLER, which stands for the Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations 1998, is the set of UK regulations for lifting equipment and operations. The regulations primarily focus on ensuring that lifting equipment is safe and properly maintained to prevent accidents and injuries.

Whether stillages are subject to LOLER depends on how they are used. Stillages themselves may not be considered lifting equipment, but if they are used in conjunction with lifting equipment, such as cranes or forklifts, then LOLER regulations may apply. Some key factors to consider are whether the stillage has dedicated lifting points and if it is intended for lifting alone or solely as a platform for other loads. An example:

Stillages as part of the load:

  • In many cases, stillages are simply platforms that become part of the load being lifted. For example, if you’re using a forklift to move a pallet of goods stacked on a stillage, the stillage is considered part of the load and not subject to LOLER.
  • In this scenario, the focus of LOLER would be on the lifting equipment itself (forklift) and the pallet, ensuring they comply with regulations for their capacity and safe operation.

Stillages as lifting accessories:

  • However, if the stillage has fixed lifting points and is specifically designed for lifting purposes, then it would be considered a lifting accessory and subject to LOLER.
  • Examples include stillages with built-in slings or hooks designed for crane lifting. These require thorough examinations and regular inspections as outlined in LOLER regulations.

Employers are responsible for ensuring that lifting equipment is thoroughly examined and maintained in accordance with LOLER requirements. This includes regular inspections, maintenance and testing by competent individuals to verify that the equipment remains safe to use.
