Overhead Hoist Form & Certificate – User Guide

1. Purpose of the Two-Page Format

You have two separate pages (Page 1 and Page 2) that work together to record a thorough hoist examination:
  • Page 1 captures detailed checks on the overhead hoist (track, brackets, sling, etc.).
  • Page 2 finalises the LOLER certificate, confirming safe use, label attachments, and signatures.
  • This page has to be seperate to the service inspection.
&nbsp

2. Filling Out Page 1

  1. Equipment & Client Details:
    Enter information like client address, hoist model, and serial number.
  2. Inspection Sections (e.g., “Support & Reinforcement,” “Track & Brackets”):
    • Choose “Complete (C)”, “Action Required”, or “N/A” for each main category.
    • If you select “Action Required”, sub-points appear (for that category) so you can specify what’s wrong:
      • Each sub-point can also be marked “Action Required,” “N/A,” or “Satisfactory.”
      • If you pick “Action Required” at a sub-point, a detail box appears for notes and an “Action Completed?” option.

  3. Date of This Examination:
    Once entered, the Next Examination Date automatically sets for six months later (by default). You can adjust if needed.
  4. Weights Photo:
    You must upload a photo verifying the load test. If left blank, the form reminds you before submission.

3. Moving on to Page 2

Certain key fields (e.g., job number, address, hoist make/model)
copy themselves from Page 1 into Page 2.
This saves you time and helps keep records consistent.

4. Completing Page 2

  1. Auto-Filled Fields: Check that important details (job number, date, hoist info) transferred correctly.
  2. Next Exam Due & Last Exam: Make sure these dates are correct (often taken from Page 1).
  3. Hoist Condition: Mark whether the hoist is “Safe for Use” or “Unsafe for Use.”
  4. Labels: Confirm if a Service Label and a Battery Test Label have been attached.
  5. Signatures: Both Engineer and Customer must sign (and print their names) to approve the findings.

5. Submitting Both Pages

  • Page 1: When you click. Submit, you’ll see a confirmation if all required details are filled and a valid photo is uploaded.
  • Page 2: Submitting finalises the certificate. Any missing required fields (such as signatures) will prompt you before completion.
  • Ideally the 2nd page will be created at the same time as Page 1 to save duplication by the engineer.

6. Why This Process Helps

  • Clarity: Splitting into two pages keeps the form structured.
    Page 1 covers hoist checks in detail (with new “Complete/Action Required/N/A” logic for each category and sub-point);
    Page 2 focuses on the official certificate
  • Consistency: Automatically copying fields across pages reduces errors and duplicate typing.
  • Compliance: Required labels, signatures, and the load-test photo ensure you meet LOLER and service documentation standards.
