LOLER inspection software is becoming essential for UK and Irish construction contractors trying to stay compliant, cut admin, and reduce delays. Whether it’s regular lifting equipment checks under LOLER, or weekly GA2 and GA3 inspections in Ireland, the pressure to stay on top of documentation is growing. Paper folders, emailed certs and spreadsheets aren’t up to the job anymore.
Boxcore solves that — by giving site teams a single digital platform to manage all inspections, training, documents and workforce compliance in one place. Built specifically for construction, it handles both LOLER and GA inspections with ease, supports mobile workflows, and ensures you never miss a date again.
Weekly LOLER and GA Inspections: Why Digital Makes Sense
LOLER requires lifting equipment to be examined regularly — with many items needing checks every 6 or 12 months. But what often gets missed is the need for more frequent site-level inspections, typically carried out weekly, to confirm that equipment remains in safe condition.
In Ireland, this is even more pronounced. Weekly GA2 and GA3 inspections are mandatory for MEWPs, scaffolding, cranes, lifting accessories and other high-risk plant. These are enforced under the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work (General Application) Regulations and must be documented with precision.
Using Boxcore, site teams can complete these weekly inspections digitally, directly from their phones or tablets. Each item of equipment can be registered in the system, assigned to a supervisor or subcontractor, and tracked with full inspection records, photos and sign-off — all synced in real time.
There’s no need to return to the office, upload photos or email scanned forms. Everything is captured once, shared instantly, and stored securely.

Flexible, Easy-To-Use LOLER Inspection Workflows
Boxcore allows customisable inspection templates to match your LOLER requirements — whether you’re managing forklifts, lifting beams, hoists or tower cranes. Teams can set up weekly, monthly, or 6-monthly inspections depending on the equipment category.
Key features include:
- Digital inspection templates for LOLER and GA
- Automated asset registers by location or contractor
- Weekly checklists with photo capture and digital signature
- Alerts for overdue or upcoming inspections
- Exportable inspection logs for audit or client requests
The system supports project-level oversight while letting supervisors or plant managers complete inspections on their own devices with minimal training. There’s no complex set-up and no delay waiting for desktop access.
All Your Safety Data in One Place
The power of Boxcore isn’t just in how it handles inspections — it’s in how it brings everything together. Contractors using Boxcore centralise safety management across:
- LOLER and GA inspections
- Time and attendance logs
- Training records and certifications
- RAMS and safety documentation
- Digital inductions and worker onboarding
This gives site managers, directors and safety officers instant access to the full picture — without relying on six different systems or endless folders. Equipment logs, worker training, subcontractor compliance and incident reports are all visible from the same dashboard.
So when an inspector arrives, there’s no scrambling. Every document, inspection and register is accessible in seconds. This reduces audit stress, supports ISO 45001 compliance and saves hours of admin time every week.

Designed for Site Conditions – and the People Using It
Boxcore was built from the ground up to be easy to use, even for non-technical staff working under pressure on site. Inspections can be carried out on any device. Photos are stored automatically. Weekly reports are generated with just a few taps.
This is what makes Boxcore stand out — as Padraig Reilly, CEO of Boxcore, explains:
“Time is scarce and teams simply don’t have the bandwidth for tools that don’t deliver a clear return quickly. Contractors want to save time, reduce admin and get better visibility across projects. That’s what we’re focused on – helping contractors unlock a step change in productivity by removing manual admin from their safety processes.”
Boxcore’s rapid onboarding and intuitive interface means most contractors are live within 24–48 hours — including data import and staff training. Even subcontractors with limited tech experience can carry out inspections or submit safety documentation with minimal effort.

Never Miss an Expiry Date Again
One of the biggest causes of non-compliance on site is missed inspection deadlines. When your inspection dates are logged across spreadsheets, whiteboards, WhatsApp threads and emails, it’s easy for something to slip through.
Boxcore solves this by tracking all inspections automatically — and sending alerts to site leads, safety officers or plant managers when items are due. Whether it’s a weekly GA3, a 6-month LOLER re-cert, or an annual training renewal, the system flags it before it becomes a problem.
And because every piece of safety information lives in one place — from worker training to equipment status — it becomes far easier to ensure that no task, person or asset is out of step.
