& Testing

Ensuring Safety, Managing Liability

Compliance Made
Simple.

In the lift industry, compliance is the foundation of every safe journey. As a building owner or manager, you have a legal responsibility to ensure your lifting equipment is safe to use and regularly inspected. At Vertical Movement Services Ltd, we take the complexity out of compliance, providing the expert testing and documentation you need to meet your statutory obligations.

We act as your professional partner, ensuring your equipment stays on the right side of the law and your passengers stay safe.

Statutory LOLER

Passenger Lifts

Must be inspected every 6 months.

Goods Lifts

Access Equipment
Every 6 Months

Including platform lifts and stairlifts, typically require a 6-month inspection cycle.

Our engineers provide comprehensive LOLER inspections, delivering detailed digital reports that highlight any defects or required actions. We maintain a proactive schedule for our contract clients, so you never have to worry about missing an inspection deadline.

Safety Compliance
& PUWER

Beyond LOLER, we ensure your equipment adheres to the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998 (PUWER). While LOLER focuses on the lifting aspect, PUWER ensures that the equipment is suitable for its intended use, maintained in a safe condition, and operated only by people who have received adequate training.

Our compliance services include:

Weight Testing
Periodic full-load testing to verify the integrity of the braking and safety systems.
Safety Audit Reports
A top-to-bottom review of your lift installation against current British and European standards.
