Who can carry out a LOLER inspection?

Close

LOLER (Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations) inspections must be performed by a qualified ‘competent person.’ At Oliver Landpower, expert technicians carry out LOLER checks as part of our agricultural servicing offering.

What’s the difference between preventive maintenance and repair?

Close

Preventive maintenance involves scheduled care to avoid breakdowns, such as oil changes or inspections. Repairs are reactive, fixing issues once something has gone wrong. Preventive care saves time and money in the long run.

Do I need to MOT agricultural vehicles?

Close

Most agricultural vehicles used off-road only are exempt. However, if used on public roads, they may require an MOT depending on their class and use. Check with the DVLA or your local authority – or contact us if you’re unsure.

Do agricultural vehicles need insurance?

Close

If driven on public roads, agricultural vehicles must be insured. Off-road-only vehicles may not need road insurance but should be covered for damage, fire or theft on your property.

Is machine servicing covered under warranty?

Close

It depends on your machine and the warranty agreement. Some warranties require proof of regular servicing. At Oliver Landpower, we use approved parts and qualified technicians, helping you stay compliant with warranty terms.

What does LOLER apply to?

Close

LOLER (Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations) applies to any lifting equipment used at work, including tractors with loaders, telehandlers and forklifts. Oliver Landpower offers LOLER testing for relevant agricultural machinery.

How long does a typical machine service take?

Close

Service time varies by machine and condition. A basic service may take a few hours, while full overhauls or specialist tests (like dynamometer or sprayer testing) can take longer. Contact your local Oliver Landpower branch for estimates.

What are the benefits of regular machine servicing?

Close

Regular servicing improves performance, reduces breakdown risk, extends equipment life, ensures safety compliance (e.g. LOLER) and helps retain resale value. It also ensures machines work efficiently throughout the season.

What does a full machine service include?

Close

A full service typically includes an inspection of major systems, oil and filter changes, safety checks, calibration and performance testing. At Oliver Landpower, we also offer health checks and specialist tests like dynamometer and sprayer testing.
