Certificate of Through Examination provide by Pegasus Manual Handling

In many ways Thorough Examination is like an automotive MOT, but it is much more rigorous. It is a legal requirement that applies to every fork lift truck— including trucks that are just one year old .

Why do you need it?

Fork lift trucks play a vital role throughout British Industry.

The Thorough Examination scheme answers a pressing & long recognised need for increased confidence when it comes to their safety. It was developed with the close co-operation of the HSE, the FLTA and BITA & finally provides a comprehensive, practical package meeting all the requirements of crucial but complex LOLER 98 & PUWER 98 legislation. Everything is underpinned by stringent quality assurance & accreditation processes & has been subject to whole-industry consultation.

Why is the Thorough Examination process so significant?

Imagine if there was no cohesive national system for assessing the safe condition of cars. Imagine if garages were allowed to decide for themselves how to carry out MOT tests. Imagine if an MOT certificate issued by one garage was based on criteria & practices that differed widely from those used by another. Imagine if there was no one to oversee the process nationally & ensure consistent high standards. This is very much like the situation which has applied to fork lift examinations...until now!
