All repairs are carried out by competent lifting equipment engineers and examined by LEEA-trained personnel prior to re-certification.

Where repair is viable and safe, we restore equipment to compliant operational condition in line with statutory requirements.

*These devices may not be repaired in house and may be handled by one of our third party repair partners.
