LOLER, PUWER and PSSR thorough examinations for businesses in Derby and across Derbyshire, carried out by qualified engineer surveyors, with certificates delivered digitally.
Rated 5 stars by our clients on Google
Derby and Derbyshire are home to some of the UK's densest engineering and manufacturing activity. If your operation runs lifting equipment, workshop machinery or pressure systems, statutory examinations are a legal requirement, and we make them straightforward.
Statutory inspections of lifting equipment and accessories: forklifts, telehandlers, cranes, MEWPs, tail lifts, slings, chains and hooks. Every 6 months for accessories and people-lifting equipment; every 12 months for other lifting equipment.

Learn more →Pressure system examinations to your Written Scheme of Examination: boilers, air receivers, compressed air systems, autoclaves and safety valves. If you don’t have a WSE, we prepare one first.
Learn more →Every examination is carried out by a competent person and reported digitally through the Fox Engineering customer portal: your certificates are always audit-ready, with reminders before your next examination is due.
Independent by design: we examine equipment. We don’t sell, hire or repair it. Our only interest is whether your equipment is safe and compliant.
We're based at The Warrens Business Park in Enderby, Leicester, right by the M1, which puts Derby and the wider Derbyshire area comfortably within our day-to-day coverage. Flexible scheduling keeps downtime to a minimum.
Areas we regularly reach from our base include:
Derby is an engineering city, with rail and aerospace supply chains supporting a deep bench of precision machine shops, fabricators and component manufacturers. That profile shows up in the equipment we examine: overhead cranes and jib cranes in fabrication bays, lifting accessories in constant daily use, machine tools with guards and interlocks under PUWER, and compressed air systems that bring PSSR duties to almost every workshop.
Further out, quarrying and construction activity around the county puts excavators, telehandlers and MEWPs on the register, and visitor businesses through the Peak District rely on passenger lifts and accessible platform lifts that carry the stricter people-lifting examination cycle. From Enderby we reach Derby directly via the M1 or the A50 corridor, so combined LOLER, PUWER and PSSR visits are easy to schedule as one job.
Yes. Many Derby workshops have overlapping duties: overhead cranes and accessories under LOLER, machinery and guarding under PUWER, and air receivers under PSSR. We plan one visit covering all three, with one set of digital reports afterwards.
Compressed air systems with air receivers commonly need statutory examination under PSSR 2000 to a Written Scheme of Examination. If you do not have a Written Scheme in place, we prepare one before the examination begins, then examine the system to it.
Yes. Alongside Derby we regularly work in Chesterfield and the surrounding towns, and we provide inspection services nationally when required.
