Lifting and Inspection

We will ensure every aspect of your lifting operation complies with statutory LOLER regulations and key inspection criteria.

We have more than 30 years’ experience of inspecting, testing, repairing and monitoring fixed and loose lifting equipment. Our work is regularly undertaken on:

Merchant, Royal Fleet Auxiliary and Royal Navy Ships,
Submarines,
Offshore oil and gas installations and vessels,
Onshore industrial facilities, and
Renewable, pipe-laying and dive support vessels.

We understand that flexibility is key to 100% compliance. Our six UK facilities are strategically placed in Aberdeen, Rosyth, Glasgow, Sheffield, Portsmouth and Plymouth, and have the equipment needed to make sure you comply with regulations, and our qualified engineers and technicians can work at your site.

Our technological solutions can continually monitor the stresses and strains placed on your assets in harsh environments. See IMES Monitoring for more information.

We use our unique SmartCert software to show the inspection, testing, certification and compliance status of crane and lifting equipment. SmartCert can be adapted to suit multiple criteria, including MOD-standard security systems, internet-based or standalone security systems.

Our simple colour code system identifies equipment with valid certificates of Thorough Examination. Aluminium signs are strategically placed onsite to inform users of the status of their equipment.
