Rated 5 stars by our clients on Google
Northamptonshire's logistics corridor runs on forklifts, tail lifts and racking-served warehouses. If your business operates lifting equipment, 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 Northampton and the wider Northamptonshire area comfortably within our day-to-day coverage. Flexible scheduling keeps downtime to a minimum.
Areas we regularly reach from our base include:
Northamptonshire sits at the heart of the UK’s distribution network, where the M1 meets the A14 and A45. The county’s big shed estates around Northampton, Daventry and Kettering operate some of the largest forklift and materials-handling fleets in the country, with dock levellers, scissor lifts and tail lifts working around the clock. Fleet examinations here are all about planning: examining equipment in batches, around shift patterns, so certificates stay current without stopping the operation.
It is not all warehousing. Engineering firms, vehicle workshops and food production sites across the county add vehicle lifts, cranes, compressed air systems and production machinery to the register. From Enderby we come straight down the M1, so Northampton, Daventry and the A14 corridor are comfortably within routine scheduling.
Yes. For distribution sites we plan examinations in batches around your shift patterns wherever possible, so trucks and dock equipment rotate through examination without interrupting the operation.
Yes. Dock levellers are inspected as work equipment under PUWER, and vehicle tail lifts are lifting equipment under LOLER. Both can be included in the same planned visit as your forklift fleet.
All of it. We regularly work across Northampton, Daventry, Kettering, Corby and Wellingborough, along the A14 corridor, and we provide inspection services nationally when required.
